Hello everyone! This is the official thread for the TWO online qualifiers for our next LIVE event, IGN Pro League 4! The top two players from each qualifier will earn free travel and hotel stay for the live event. They will also earn a spot in an elimination-style group at the event where even last place earns guaranteed prize money. Please note again that there are only TWO chances for a total of FOUR players to get into the group stages from online qualifiers, and all other players will have to fight their way through an open, on-site bracket. You will want to play your absolute best to secure this amazing prize!

Unfortunately, we are not yet able to announce the date or location of our live event. All we can tell you is that it is coming up soon and these qualifiers were scheduled in a way that ensures that we have time for travel preparations to be made. If for any reason, a player who qualifies in these online qualifiers cannot make the trip to our live event, their registration fee will be refunded and we will use the qualifier results to determine who will fill their spot and receive the prize and tournament qualification instead.



When
  • Qualifier 1: Saturday, Feb 11 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) (That is Saturday morning for North America, Saturday evening for Europe, and early Sunday morning for SEA/South Korea) You can register any time before the event begins, but you must check in some time in the 30 minutes leading up to the event or you will not be placed into the bracket. We will be using Playhem to run the tournament and there is an entry fee of $10 (USD).

    The link for Qualifier 1 on February 11 is: http://playhem.com/tourney/15322 Please only register with your North American account.

  • Qualifier 2: Saturday, Feb 18 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) (That is Saturday morning for North America, Saturday evening for Europe, and early Sunday morning for SEA/South Korea) You can register any time before the event begins, but you must check in some time in the 30 minutes leading up to the event or you will not be placed into the bracket. We will be using Playhem to run the tournament and there is an entry fee of $10 (USD).

    The link for Qualifier 2 on February 18 is: http://playhem.com/tourney/15323 Please only register with your North American account.


The Format!


Players will need to be online and checked in within 30 minutes of the event's start time. Please be aware that these qualifiers can and will take a lot of time. Forfeits and walkovers will be used if needed. Each round is best of 3, with start maps labeled on the bracket.

Servers: All games will be played by default on the North American server. We ask that players remain on North America in order to ease the facilitation of the tournament, and only switch servers if both players agree to it and it is deemed necessary to play without severe lag.

Spectators Rule: No observers/spectators are allowed for these games. Playhem or IGN Pro League admins may make games for players to help things run smoother.


Map Pool
We are pleased to add three NEW maps to our tournament pool from our Mapmaking Contest!
Terminus SE
Darkness Falls
Sanshorn Mist AE
Atlantis Spaceship
Shakuras Plateau
Calm Before the Storm
Shattered Temple
Antiga Shipyard (Cross Only)
Daybreak
Tal’Darim Altar


*All of our maps can be found easily by searching "IPLMap" when creating a game on NA (uploaded by VTMirhi), Europe, and Korea. Please use the IPLMap versions for every game to ensure consistency.



Note 1: There will be no age restrictions at all for IPL 4.
Note 2: Residents of the state of Vermont may not participate in the online qualifiers due to state law. Players from Vermont will only be able to qualify at the on-site, open event.

Glad the ball is finally rolling, looks great, I'd love more details though!

Also, need to of course complain about the map pool, I like the additions but I really feel if you removed Shakuras, Calm Before the Storm, Terminus SE and Shattered Temple you've have a much better pool . This one really feels too big.

You mean too big as in too many maps, or that the maps themselves are too big? We need a large map pool and we'd like for players to be familiar with all of the maps so that they won't be too surprised in the tournament itself when there may be bo5s or bo7s. We also use this map pool across all of our events, including the bo9 Fight Club and bo9 Team Arena Challenge. =)

Glad to see some top notch community maps making it in. Hopefully we'll have some more next season to bump out the older blizzard maps that are pretty dated.
Anything can be acheived through persistence and thought

Yeah, too big as in 10 maps is too many. IMO with this setup the only play the new maps are really going to get is when they're designated for round 1. I guess if you just want to keep a pool that works for BO9 ditching Shattered would be a start, its really the new Xel'naga Caverns imo .

Also, since I'm sure the question will come up sooner or later, any age restrictions people should worry about?

Thanks for the specific response <3 keep up the good work!

Wooo IPL 4 coming up! However, I don't understand the secrecy behind the date and venue. Since venues have to be booked months in advance, I assume you know it already, so wouldn't it be in your best interest to announce it to give players/spectators ample time to plan accordingly? If spectators want to come from out of town to spectate, the more time they have to plan the better.

Look great!

However, bad map pool like most tournaments. Terminus, shakuras, calm before the storm and shattered should be completely redundant but sadly they're not :/

Totally agree Shakuras(Terran), Calm Before the Storm (too boring games, Protoss), Terminus SE(too boring games) are bad maps
