IPL4 seems like its gonna be pretty small unless there are gonna be more qualifiers. There's only 3 people qualified so far (correct me if I'm wrong) and with 4 more that makes a total of 7 players.


pretty sure there will be an open bracket....

Of course there will be an open bracket! =)

This is really dissapointing from IPL. Would love to see some professionalism here...cut the map pool in half. Strongly recommended to remove the following maps:

Terminus SE
Darkness Falls
Sanshorn Mist AE
Atlantis Spaceship
Calm Before the Storm

Substitute one of the map making contest maps for Shakuras.

Terminus and Calm Before the Storm are more awful imo...but yes totally agree that's why we can have a map making contest map in it's place to try it out.

I agree they are even worse but still Shakuras isn't good.

Ideal map pool for me would be:

Daybreak
Taldarim Alter
Belshir Beach Winter
Dual Sight
Antiga Shipyard

I'm not a massive Antiga fan but a lot of people seem to like it.

I don't like seeing repeats so five maps is nice.

Sorry, but we're not cutting the three maps that we had created specially for us. We favor variety, and we hope that players will make their own decisions on how much they need to practice the different maps.

Edit: You also suggest having a map making contest, which is where three of those five maps came from.

So you guys want IGN to throw out all the effort they put into their own map making contest and 1000 dollar map test tournament? Why can't foreign map makers and tournaments ever introduce their own maps? It's not like GSL has never picked a bad map.

Apologies, I should have been more clear. I meant you could remove Shakuras in place of one of the map making contest maps (ie. Darkness Falls, Sanshorn Mist AE, Atlantis Spaceship). I'm sure it will be fine, just having a smaller map pool and removing some problem maps is something to think about for next time.

Totally agree with this. There are plenty of ways to practice these maps and I know of at least one daily tournament with these maps in their pool(with the exception of darkness falls). Imagine if noone were ever allowed to deviate from the standard of current maps. We wouldve been left with XNC .

Thats way to many maps for a serious tournament. No way in hell pros will be able to provide good games on so many maps.

Cut em in half please.

As a tournament organizer you should do try to ensure the best possible experience for your audience and your players.

IGN is either naive and think the pros will actually handle so many maps or just doesn't care about how good the games actually are.

hmm..

What makes you and expert and can tell that this many maps will not give the "best possible experience for your audience and your players" ?

We have seen so many good games at MLG and other foreigner tournaments finals compared to GSL maybe because they dont have so much time to prepare for individual matches and it comes down to overall skills, who is to say this cant happen with maps as well.
