We've now got 64 world-class players signed up for our first qualifier! Keep in mind that there will only be TWO online qualifiers for IPL 4, and everyone else must qualify in-person during our live event!

I wonder if there are any other events slated for that timeline. I hope not!!

I don't know how many invites there are going to be, but Stephano has an invite for sure, that's already known.

Thats not really an invite. He is double qualified as IPL3 winner and i44 winner.

Depends on the way you look at it, qualified as IPL3 winner or invited as IPL3 winner.
I'm quite certain they'll invite a few players, if only for the fans, because most western audiences like tournaments with foreigners and Koreans mixed better than with 99% Koreans attending.
The only issue I have is that it is around the same time as the NASL Qualifiers. Will this be a conflict if 1 or 2 games delay the match? I know that the NASL is just 1 match with a BO3 I beleive?

If he is going for College spring break, it's probably too late for that already, as it is in late February/early March for many campuses. For K-12, it's usually around Easter (early April).

I would not mind a reasonable number of invites, no more than a third of the player pool. Having guys like Boxer and Whitera at IPL 3 made the event that much better.
Please take a look at the registration for our first online qualifier this Saturday, and take note of who is missing! Remind your favorite teams and players to sign up if they haven't already! =D
If you notice your favorite teams or players missing, post on their Facebook fan pages or tweet at them to make sure they don't miss this awesome opportunity!
