Hello everyone! This is the official thread for the one and only European Regional for our next LIVE event, IGN Pro League 5! The winner of this Regional will earn free travel and hotel stay for the live event. They will also earn an automatic seed into Winners Round 3 at the event. There will only be one Regional for North America, one for Europe, and one for Korea. Each player may only participate in one of the North American, European, or Korean Regionals. There will be one additional International Regional that will be open to everyone. You will want to play your absolute best to secure this amazing prize!

Unfortunately, we are not yet able to announce the date or location of our live event. All we can tell you is that it is coming up soon and these qualifiers were scheduled in a way that ensures that we have time for travel preparations to be made. If for any reason, a player who qualifies in these online qualifiers cannot make the trip to our live event, their registration fee will be refunded and we will use the Regional results to determine who will receive the free travel, hotel, and tournament seed instead.

Not that important, the satellite ones are more important imho, because I wouldn't give too big of a chance to any German player to take first place here. Top 8 in the other tourney is a lot easier to achieve.

Oh, this the event where only 1 qualifes. Then it really doesn't matter that it overlaps with the WCS, Stephano's gonna take the spot anyway.

I still don't get why they make the regional and satellite as two seperate tournaments? Why not just give first place the paid trip and the rest of the top 8 get the satellite spots?

Stephano's still in the US atm so I doubt he will sign up.

To European pros: it's your chance to get the spot :p

Added a few players. Stephano will be allowed to participate in EU if he chooses, but he'll have to wake up really early. =P He did not play in NA and would still have the option to take a flight from Europe at the time of the event.

Come on now, which is more important really? You have many graduations in life (Middle School, High School, College, Grad School), but only 1 chance to win the IPL 5 EU Regionals.

Priorities dude.

There is only one graduation in the life of a finn. I understand that it was meant to be funny but there is NO way a finn would miss its graduation willingly.

It would be rude to tell 40ppl in last week that there won't be any party... and I can still win satellite
