Whew you just made my heart skip a beat as I only applied for the production positions.

Well now the new questions is that when will those positions be filled / notified.

Lol this is the first job I have applied for as an adult that I didn't get, and I even offered to work for no compensation for the love of esports ...

I wonder what type of criteria was used to select people.

Worthless MBA!!!

I got a position as a referee, I honestly feel my experience as a past MLG volunteer referee helped with that. Sorry to anyone who didn't get a position and congrats to everyone who did.

We did not send out rejection emails due to the fact that 1) not everyone is confirmed yet, and 2) there was 450+ people who applied.

Like I said before, we had a lot of fantastic apps and just not enough open positions.

EDIT: Nevermind, shouldn't be a problem ^^

Yes, any updates on when these positions will be filled?

Thank you for being up front and connected to the community!
Don't listen to those that are unnecessarily critical, most of us really appreciate the fact that these positions were even offered!

Ok ok ok ok...So I checked me email this evening and saw a response from IPL and was like "Oh I guess they are sending rejection emails (hadn't been following this thread, had no idea about how many applicants etc) read and saw that I had been offered a positions (Information Staffer) and I literally flipped out. I jumped out of my truck (I am an EMT, was on a standby) and started freaking out. I think my partner thought I got stung by a bee or something, it was all pretty hilarious.

I never thought that I would get chosen seeing as my only real qualification I felt was a love of Starcraft. BUT HOLY CRAP SO EXCITED! Cannot wait to go to IPL 3!! Thanks so much IGN :-)

WOOOOOOT! Looks like I'll be joining you Mr Diamond on the Main Stage at some point since I also was offered and will be accepting the Main Stage Player Coordinator position.

This is going to be absolutely terrific to work with these guys and make this the best event to date!

I didn't make it in either. Hopefully they will do the same thing for the next event and give more people a chance. Also I hope that other events with positions like these will adopt a similar approach ... it's a great way for fans like us to be able to give back to the community we love!

GL HF to those who got it - I am jealous! Have a great time.

I was kind of down about not getting selected- but reading this made me feel better

If the love for Starcraft was all you needed to get the job then I seriously need to re-evaluate my life.
