One of the things that makes TAC great is the qualifiers and the potential for new teams like Vile last season to qualify and shine. we can see up and coming teams play, even if they aren't well known, they just need the skill, and I think that is exactly what the scene needs.

Quantic wins, they are too good now Vile by themselves were able to hold with the Korean teams last TAC, with Naniwa, Sase, Apocalypse and all the rest of the Quantic guys together, they could go very very far in this tournament.

It came down to between DtG and AlternateType.

In the point system I devised for determining who got through, each had 9 points for finishing in 2 finals, 1 semifinal and 1 time losing in R1.

ZeNEX did not perform as well, neither did ESC.

So since they were tied, I looked at other leagues, quality of opponent in our tournaments and their head to head (Head to Head, DtG won 5-4)

In the end, I decided DtG was more deserving, though by the slimmest of margins. My decision was approved by the rest of the IPL staff (as well as the seedings for the events).

For overall seedings, we determined our previous events, other team events, solo events for team's players & consistency.

Most of the potential 2nd round matches look insane. Empire/Slayers, Startale/Quantic look particularly interesting. Its kinda funny to see mouz as the only nonkorean team to get a bye into the 2nd round.

EDIT: Also when is this starting? Liquidpedia has it for 5/6 which can't possibly be right

EDIT2: Interesting to note, it looks like if both FXO teams lose first round then win their first round in losers there will be FXO vs FXO (still surprised they wouldnt just compete as one gigantic team of death and destruction)

It was based off of TAC 2's results as well as the results of other team leagues and some subjective opinion on relative strengths of teams. Some teams are in the 2nd round because we went from a 16 team to a 24 team bracket.

We are actually finalizing plans to make seeding and other information more transparent for future events, both for spectators and for the teams themselves. We hope to announce these plans very soon!

As long as this league uses double elimination format with such long sets, I cannot seriously follow it. It's just extorting more games to cash on. People just take a peek and tune out and check results later. Very unhype and the numbers from last seasons show it.
Someone call down the Thunder?

o well. Hard to make excuses for ZeNEX. Hmm, excuse A (playing really early) or excuse B (not always fielding their A team)? Good luck to all the teams :D
I think it's finally time to admit it might not be the year of Pet

please do explain why oGs and TL are in the first round when they did very well in tournament 2 while Mouz and MVP advanced despite being knocked out much earlier...must be some very subjective opinion...

Extorting? These are free up until 480p, and I have no idea why you wouldn't want more games. The numbers from last season were often in 5 figures, especially when fan favorite teams played. But if you don't like this tournament, I guess no one can force you to watch.

MVP is a GSTL title-winning team, despite their frankly terrible performance last TAC, so I guess that could really help. Secondly, can't really underestimate a team that has DRG on their roster.
