"Each team from the IPL Team Arena Challenge was asked to pick one player from their roster to represent them in this global tournament, that will span the month of March."
It appears that his placement and team label are due to the population requirements of the tournament. What is interesting is the fact that Puma is playing for EG and Polt for TSL, even though they already have earned a spot through the qualifiers. If either one of them were to win the tournament then his spot would be given to someone else on the team. This could be viewed as an indication of confidence of the other members on the two player's teams, or just a coincidence that the teams insist on their aces carrying.
**Note 2: If a player wins who already has a free trip to IPL4, that portion of the prize will be given to their team to decide on another player they would like to give the free trip to IPL4 to.

A shame they didn't submit other players because those players were already qualified, just for the sake of racial diversity. JYP and Symbol could've fixed the racial balance a slight bit xD
Neat idea, but needs a bit of tweaking for the next time T.T Maybe request 2 or 3 players from each team (different races of course) and then pick from them.

The name of the tournament is a bit misleading. Perhaps Tournament of Aces? They are the team aces after all.
Really cool concept though, I can't wait to tune in. IPL always produces awesome content during the downtimes between premiere events (their own included, of course). Also, anything that can get more of NaDa into foreign tournaments is always welcome.
I was wondering about the team seems a bit silly to call it tournament of champions :S Good idea though, as it's every team basically fighting it out for another paid spot in IPL4 and also some prize money for the comeptitiors! I love the way all the teams choose a Terran though So funnys
Great tournament (wrong name ; awesome players and alllll the teams to add a bit more blood to it! GG GL
EPT

awesome players and alllll the teams to add a bit more blood to it! GG GL
