They're probably going to invite some foreigners so the casual audience has more than three people to root for.

So what's the Korean count on IPL4 so far? Hoping there will be plenty of foreigners that will get to experience Vegas and a shot at the title! I cannot wait til Spring Break!!!!! All but Stephano. Mkp, tails, alive, puma, bomber and Polt.
They're not Korean, but IdrA and White-Ra are also qualified as the winners of IPL 1 and 2, at least that's what I remember an IGN employee post somewhere.
Edit: Here.

I'm sure the players you've got will be awesome though. Invites are alright, as long as they are reasonable and there is a balance between qualifications and invites. Invites are important for viewership and racial balance, and it allows progamers a bit more career stability. Congrats to Bomber and Polt for qualifying to IPL4
Only 3 invites, everyone else gets a spot via qualification or previous IPL championship wins.
Idra, WhiteRa, Stephano, MarineKing, Tails, Puma, Alive, Bomber, Polt + 3 unannounced invites. We'll be able to reveal the format for IPL 4, which is different from IPL 3, hopefully this week.

And when you say reveal format, do you also mean forum and date?
|
will there be any more qualifications? or just those 9 players + 3 more invites?
shaping up to be an awesome tournament!

Sounds great. Very happy to see Whitera qualified. Hopefully Slayers Boxer can get an invite, just for all that he has done for E-sports.

Yes. We are aching to do this and do our full release, but for factors out of our control, we have to wait hopefully just a little bit longer.

Sounds great, cannot wait for IPL 4. Will there be open work positions at IPL 4? I would love to go but I can't justify the entire trip on my current budget.

Hey Alex, do you know if replays from the Qualifiers will be released?
|
Goodness, just realized that IPL was broadcasting the qualifiers. Can't believe that I missed most of it.

Probably not, they ended up being fragmented and not fully submitted by many players due to cross-realm play.

Shouldn't there be a thread for the Online Qualifier broadcasts?

This thread would suffice, as long as they update and bump it appropriately.

The stream is going live now for TLO vs Choya from Online Qualifier #2, as well as a semi-final and finals match, cast by AskJoshy: http://www.ign.com/ipl

That final match was not nearly as epic as I thought it would be.
