Woo! Sounds like another awesome tourney <3 interesting that some of the bigger teams didn't go though.

given the recent partnership, if Lgn (less likey) or Zenex (highly likely) qualify, does that mean they would be competeing as LgNZeNex? If so what would happen if they were both to qualifiy?

I don't think so. If that were the case, I think they would have signed up as a single team.

In IPL TaC 3 partnered teams do not play together; each team will be their own seperate entity.

ROX.KIS or It’s Gosu for the top bracket & ZeNEX for the lower bracket if they field their A team.. if not any team can take it..

Stop screwing around ZeNEX. This one is yours.

Gonna be tough for em, they've got a ROUGH bracket this time around.

Gah, Zenex and Light in the first round, the two teams i have been rooting for in all of the qualfiers, Looks like Zenex from the bottom and Roxkis from the top
|
Hey IPL, since Quantic essentially acquired Vile, what impact is that going to have on IPL TAC3? Both teams were invited...

Same  wouldn't mind Gosu either though, if only to see Doa get excited whenever they play.
|
LighT needs some Golden up in hurr.

If zenex play treme, avenge and life every match I'm sure they'll qualify, if not team dignitas and light can fight it out while top should be between type atn and rox.kis but gosu could pull it off.
|
I hope aTn-Type and LighT can make it.

OK Zenex, time to take this one seriously!
|
I want ZeNEX and RoX.KIS! Come on, win this time, damn it!
|
How does this work now that Zenex and Legion joined forces?
|
I actually do believe that Alternate_Type may advance here. I don't see Team Legion as a high profile team. It will be hard vs. RóxKis and It'S Gosu, but they also don't have the really really heavy hitters.
|
Rooting for Light and ROX.KIS to make it through. Best of luck to all teams though.

That's a good point. I wonder if they'll invite another team, hold a mini qualifier, or just forfeit the spot.

When I first read this idea I loved it, then I looked and saw itsGosu and DtG were the nonqualified semi finalists in both 1 and 2, so idk how that would work

Just go back to quarterfinalists in that case. It's really easy math. Coinflip!

I imagine he is referring to Elfi's multitasking.
|
he regularly gets supply blocked in under ten minutes, and in that last game he controlled quite poorly during the engagement at delphi's third. wasted about 6 forcefields initially just to kill a single spine crawler, then lost almost ten sentries once delphi sent his roaches in.

Go ROX.KIS - dont fuck it up this time.

Well he makes up for that with his strategic mind, also I wouldn't say it's that bad.
Also, didn't Elfi all-kill now? Pretty badass imo.
|
like I said, I cant argue with his results. I just have absolutely no idea how he achieves them.

So stoked!! Team ALT Fighting!!! :DDD
|

I missed all of these qualifiers.  And I would now like to rewatch them all if possible. But I can't find organized VODs (or even any VODs at all) on the IPL website. They must be somewhere, help me out here. 
Edit: found them on twitch vods, http://www.twitch.tv/ignproleague/videos if anyone else is looking.

omfg lol. After their glorious effort vs zenex. To lose to Jesper the one true slayer from above...

Ouch that must suck, after such a great effort againts ZeNEX, getting all-killed sad for LighT. Hopefully there will be a last qualifier for the Vile spot.
|
Anyone wanna post detailed results for the quarters? The Nightmares game was posted and merz kinda posted something. The other two series were really close though.

How is IPL TAC 3 going to be now that Quantic and Vile are now absorbed? will they play as separate teams or wat?

No separate teams since Vile was absorbed by Quantic. Vile's spot in the tournament will be filled by someone else now! More details on that later!

Hope its another qualifier! Or a mini-qualifier

Maybe they'll replace them with Fnatic, if they decide to accept. Since they were invited originally, but turned it down at the time.

It's Gosu better make it. They've made the semis of 3 of the 4 qualifiers and now it's their time to finally qualify. Hoping for Dignitas on the opposite side of the bracket.

Nope, only the brackets will be updated live and maybe team members post results. However, the semis will be casted by the IPL at a later point in time from the replays.

I want AlternateType and ESC to qualify! Looking good so far.
