I doubt that is the criteria they are basing anything on.

Aye, it's a hiring process rather than a raffle :p

Take it from me. I'm active duty military and we honestly don't really get paid all that much. I average like $1800 per month then I receive another $1200 for BAH (Rent) in which 900 of it goes too. So overall I'm left with $2k-2100 which then I have bills to pay such as utilities, car insurance, etc...

Not sure that is a consideration. The 2 pay options are pretty equal. You either get $8/hr OR a free flight. Everyone will get one of these two so it doesn't matter what the picked person has the income to go or not.
I see your point, though, that without being picked you, yourself, wouldn't be able to go. That does suck no matter how you shake the stick. Hopefully an IPL/MLG will come to a town near you soon.

I was so much pointing to active military with the comment, i know that military members get paid far less than they deserve. I was talking more toward the engineers and fortune 500 company people.

Still no word from anyone that DID get hired/accepted?

Maybe they're trolling us?

Obv post count is inversely proportional to acceptance rate

Wow I am surprised that so many applications came in, but than again they did offer to fly people out. Nonetheless this is still one of the coolest things IGN has done in a while.
Good luck to everyone involved, and if you made it, post here!

All emails have been sent as of a couple minutes ago. If people end up backing out we might still need more people! Thanks again for everyone's applications, we truly do appreciate all of your interest and we hope to see you at IPL 3!

No such luck either. Congrats to everyone who made it.

I definitely applied way too late, lol
Congrats to everyone who gets it! I really hope you guys do this for the fourth installment, I think it's a great idea.

I feel like I applied too late as well.
Congrats to everyone who got a position. It will be a lot of fun, but remember to work hard, for eSports!!!
