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.
When - European Regional: Saturday, Jun 02 1:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) You can register any time before Friday, Jun 01 7:00am GMT (GMT+00:00). There is an entry fee of $10 (USD).
The link for the European Regional on June 2nd is now closed! Please only register with your European account.
The Format!

Forfeits and walkovers will be used if needed. Each round is best of 3, with start maps labeled on the bracket. Players may be asked to wait to begin a series so that their match can be broadcast.
Servers: All games will be played on the European server.
Spectators Rule: No observers/spectators are allowed for these games. IGN Pro League admins and casters may make games for players to help things run smoother and either referee or cast the matches.

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.

Hey guys, only one more day to sign up for this! The field is pretty wide open!

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.

We ask that you please do not stream your qualifier matches, as we will be broadcasting the games live ourselves. =)
Players please meet in channel IPL on EU before the games begin. The bracket is here: http://challonge.com/ipl5euro

Stephano failed to show up :|

Kind of sad that so few people signed up and even fewer people showed up.
Especially since that would mean that several of the German players currently playing in the wcs would've gotten a realistic chance at the prize. :o

He's probably still sleeping in NA and completely forgot

Sjow, Pink and Hyperbole also did not show up! So 6 out of 23 did not appear. That's about a quarter of the scheduled players not showing up! Disappointing.

Because I want to watch Stephano, not Phoenix and ReaL...?
|
I guess I'll be rooting for Mana.
|
What the hell is Alastor doing?
|
Alastar just amoving into siege lines + bunkers multiple times. Ugly, uninspired play right there.
|
Why would Stephano play in this anyway, I assume former champions are directly seeded into IPL5 anyway (if he plans on going)

No, they aren't anymore. You need to qualify.
Only aLive is seeded for winning the last one.

Wow that's kinda weird. Winning such a massive event should earn you a spot for a long time in my opinion...

so you'd seed fruitdealer into code S? extreme example, but ipl3 was a long time ago.

Why this event isn't in the TL calendar?

Snute is going to take this!

Damn Snute at IPL5! that would be so awesome!
|
Finals are bo3 according to rules? That means Snute is going to IPL5 if he smacks mana around one more time :D !
|
Mana mana tuhduhduhduh! Fighting!

Wohooo, Snute winzzzzzzz!

What the... snute...? Never expected that, mad props to him!!! go norway!

Forever second. He has bad luck when it comes to finals or he is Stork's lost brother.

Seems so. It's strange, because Mana has Bigs in his team, as well as Nerchio as a fellow-countryman, he should have good practice vs Z.

Snute winning without hive tech is really fun to see. Not that Snute shouldn't always forget about it, but the lair style is so dynamic, especially given how MaNa was playing.

mana is helping stork keep the silver mining industry alive

And he practices a lot with Stephano. But Snutes PvZ is really special.

Indeed but neither Pink nor hyperbole are professional - I never heard of them before - and as such are not to be judged the same way Stephano, ReaL and Phoenix are.
So Snute won, I'm still wondering his real level. He will go to DHS so we will hopefully see more of him.

GG! Snute at IPL5! Can't wait to see that! :D
|
can somebody explain to me why a lot of top players from EU dont try to get a free trip to IPL?
Congrats to Snute though
|
Yeah.. Snute represent'n Norway in the SC2 world.. Good luck at DreamHack and IPL5 Snutieeee :D
