Hello everyone! We're pleased to introduce the D.I.C.E. IPL Showdown! Four of the world's top players will compete for a $10,000 prize pool!


[center]Liquipedia: Brackets


[b]When: Thursday, Feb 07 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)



The D.I.C.E. Summit is a game developers conference dedicated to these ideals: Design, Innovate, Communicate Entertain. D.I.C.E. is held annually in the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This year, the conference is February 5-8.

Tuesday the 5th is a full day of networking, while Wednesday and Thursday will be full days of programming focusing on entertainment. On Thursday night is the 16th D.I.C.E. Awards!

For more information on D.I.C.E., visit their official site.

For tickets for the event visit go.ign.com/DICEIPL. We will be giving away FREE tickets to IPL6 for those who attend the D.I.C.E. Summit.

Without further ado, I introduce you to the four players!

Grubby

[image loading]

[spoiler=Grubby Bio]Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen is one of the most accomplished real time strategy players of all time, winning more than 38 live events, including 6 World Championships. Having a storied past in WarCraft III, Grubby has shown promise recently in StarCraft II, playing in the GSL for the first time this year. He is now living and training in Korea with two time GSTL champions FXO. Grubby is known for his great game knowledge, being a great analytical caster as well as premier player. Grubby still hopes to capture his first international live event.[/spoiler]

LucifroN

[image loading]

[spoiler=Grubby Bio]Pedro "LucifroN" Moreno Duran along side his brother and teammate Juan "Vortix" Moreno Duran are the two best players from Spain and quickly becoming two of the best players from all of Europe. LucifroN broke into eSports near the end of WarCraft III's international scene when it was very difficult for unknown players to make a splash. He won over $10,000 in prize money very quickly without having much of a following or international renown. He capitalized on his success early in the StarCraft II beta winning several international tournaments, but then stopped playing competitively to focus on his academic studies. Recently he has come back in full force. He won the WCS 2012 Spanish Championships and then finished 3rd in the WCS European Finals. He has since gone on to perform well in several international championships, including representing the World in the GSL Korea v World All Stars match.[/spoiler]

Illusion*

[image loading]

[spoiler=Illusion Bio]Chris "Illusion" Lee has shown promise, but yet to meet his full potential as one of North America's top players. He's taken a step back from public play amidst team turmoil. In the past, he has shown top level micro and strategic play. Chris has been training hard in Korea, and he's back to show off his skills at DICE.

IPL prides itself on developing new NA players. As an unknown, Scarlett took IPL 4 by storm, and we hope Illusion does the same here after his excellent performance in IPL's Fight Club at Hot Import Nights. Chris has the international experience to be one of these players and we look forward to some upsets at DICE.[/spoiler]

*Illusion replaces viOLet due to Visa issues.

Scarlett

[image loading]

[spoiler=Scarlett Bio]Sasha "Scarlett" Hoshyn came to prominence by winning the Playhem "Sponsor Me!" Tournament that gave her entry into IPL4. She did not waste her free trip as she pulled huge upsets against Terious and Ddoro before losing in the third round in a close match against Oz. She then pulled off a great victory against DeMusliM to knock him out of the tournament. Her most notable feat is winning the Battle.net North American Championship following a win in the same series for Canada. Both were won with relative ease, and she earned a combined $30,000. She has continued to perform well in international events, but has been unable to take down a major international title. With international competition, will Scarlett finally prove she can stand up and make it through multiple championship winning Koreans?[/spoiler]

You can catch all the action starting Thursday February 7 at 10:00am!

I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Another " hot import nights " type of event, this should be fun. I enjoyed the last one especially the MMA vs DRG bo5 where it went 3-2.

Wow pretty nice prize pool for a 4 person tournament. Pretty good field, too, although I think viOLet should be the favorite to take this if he keeps playing as well as he has been.

viOLet will likely roll all over the other players then continue to roll his way to the bank, should be fun.

Damn, it's these kind of things that are bread and butter for a pro gamer. They're essentially being paid at least $1000 to come and play. They're also players that tend to deliver good games and play for the lategame so hopefully it'll be a good tournament and a good bit of bragging rights for the winner.

I expect Violet will take it just because he's Korean, but it'd be cool to see Grubby win.

Hmm, Lucifron was an ace player for team nGize who was ranked 1st in the most prestigious team league in WC3. His brother VortiX I would say broke out later as it was very hard to get famous. Lucifron didn't have much trouble becoming one of the scariest players in wc3 ^_^

So psyched for this. Really hoping Grubby shows his best performance. viOLet was my favorite Orc in wc3, but he's won enough in sc2, Grubby needs to rise!!!

Very nice player lineup, although odd that you chose to take 2 zergs considering recent trends.

Anyways, gogo Grubby!

I don't even know who to cheer for so ... cheer for ALL the players!

Scarlett - favorite NA zerg
viOLet - tied for my favorite player
Lucifron - my TvZ mech-inspiration
Grubby - ... he's The Grubby, what else to say?

Haven't seen violet play in awhile but he was in really top form at the end of 2012, did quite well for himself at Blizzard Cup. Scarlett's play has been looking amazing lately. I know people we be all "zerg imba zerg imba" but I think that given the player pool, violet and Scarlett just have a higher skill level but all these games should be awesome! This also means violet's finally coming back to the US
