I find strange that some poeple think that would make teams play their Aces in the first map. That's just illogical. Wins are still more important especially with head-to-head being places higher than map scores.

I kinda wish IPL would go with full 8 team round-robin and then Playoff for champion, like kespa Winners' League.

if you put aces first, you can win 5-0 if you beat the other guy and your ace is good enough.
this system rewards high map difference so yea :p

This works for KeSPA because there are so few progaming teams under their banner. There are far, far more than eight worthy SC2 teams worldwide.

yeah, but what they can do is a 8-team round robin with top 6 playoffs and bottom 2 kicked out haha

I wouldn't mind seeing that as well. I for one would love to see each Premier team have the opportunity to go against every other Premier team. For example, had LIquid and EG been put in different groups, or Startale and Prime in different groups, it would be a pity to see the anticipated rivalry grudgematch disappear.

IPL is relatively receptive to community feedback, so I hope that they do change the format next season.

With the round robin, is point differential used to determine tie-breaks? Will it be all-kill format or the proleague format? (edit: just answered above me)
If it's all-kill, and uses point dif for tie breaks, I really don't like that. The way that seems to me is that teams will want to send their best players first and just hope that they all-kill since they won't want to drop any maps. This puts less emphasis on interesting usage and snipers, map choice, etc. This is still awesome news, but could you elaborate on this?

yeah, i agree, point difference is not the best for allkill format

So our plan for tiebreakers right now are head-to-head first (for two-team ties), then map score difference (i.e. 12-6 is better than 11-7 is better than 11-8, and so on).

What about 12-6 to 13-7? Which is better?

Hahaha, you guys kill me. Only JYP who has skill AND consistency of regular Korean pro.
He had the same don't-give-a-f*** attitude from his stream, where he all-ins every game and shamelessly plays three ads.

Please step away from insulting my intelligence in the future, IGN. Just tell us the truth. -.-

My understanding of the IPTL is that the premier division WILL have the best of the best after a few seasons but they start with the eigth teams that placed the highest in IPL TAC3. So every team up there qualified legitimately.
But with 4 potential changing teams in the premier division I am confident that as soon as season 2 starts there will be no doubts about the top 8 teams.

out of curiosity if my school's CSL team wanted to enter the Amateur division would we fit the eligibility requirements? I'm the "manager" of the team for this year in the sense that I'm the one getting replays to the CSL/setting up who plays what when for the team. Would our team's CSL page be counted as a "website" or would we need our own?

I haven't talked to the team yet to see if they wanted to do this but I think it would be pretty cool to try for shits and giggles.

Even Fnatic should have been there over EG, not to mention FXO which is just on another level all together.

Where is Fnatic here for that matter? I am going to assume they didn't want to particepate because not including them here is kinda silly.

Top 8 are strictly based on TAC3 obviously....

As mentioned before, the placements are based on IPL TAC3 results. EG got into the top 8, while FXO didn't. Fnatic didn't participate.

Is this tournament NA only? We are a european Clan without NA accounts, but we meet the rest of the conditions.

If so can somebody please suggest EU Clanleagues other than ESL-Ladder and SC2CL, we really want more!
