Yeah, can we get some clarification on the whole "playing from Korea" bit?

That has me a bit confused...can players from North America/Europe compete, even if they'd be flying from Korea?

Also, how does the sponsorship stuff shake out to be? We have some players on our roster that are compensated and some that aren't, can the ones that aren't register for the event, or are they disallowed entry because we support their teammates?


The players that do not receive support are eligible.

As far as competitors from North America/Europe but playing in Korea goes, if they decide to compete and end up winning, we will pay for the winner's ticket from a destination in North America or Europe. How they get to that location is on their end.

Hopefully this clears things up! =D


what if the player living in korea pays the difference for the ticket?

we'd have to make arrangements for that, but if you do end up winning the event it's something we'll work together on to find a happy medium .

Really unfair that these "free agents" are signing up to play, they win the tournament, go to ipl sponsored, then get into a team and become sponsored again, robbing all up and comers from a chance. I hope playhem takes note about this..

So what, you want to have some arbitrary skill limit now as well? How stupid are you?

I see this tournament as an opportunity for a new player to show his worth, its obvious that a professional will sweep the floor with any amateur, there is no need to hold a tournament to find that out. Thanks for the very inteligent post.

Is the current map pool posted anywhere?

Right on the tournament page on the tournament you can see the starting maps for each round and the full map pool on the information tab.

I doubt that they are going to magically get on a team from winning IPL4. Their skill level won't suddenly have changed.
They have been on teams before, and not been picked up for whatever reason. Winning IPL4 will only change marketability potentially, not skill.
The reasons for being teamless in the first place are probably still going to be there.
HOLY CHECK!

well players like major, cited "new opportunity" meaning he has something, that's not announced yet. but currently potentially sponsored by something.

isn't Slush, Sjow, Mentalist in any way sponsored? they are on the list....

Also since RGN disbanded, we have Inori competing hehe, i'm definatly gonna try my best here to see how far i go, but hell i'll be damned if i can win such thing, would probably mean instant spotlight and team pickups lol

And i think teams will be looking at RO32, RO16 for new potential as well, so very good initiative!
