As IGN Pro League 3 at Caesars Atlantic City draws closer, we are excited to announce more about the event, both for our live attendees and for the stream viewers at home! Read on for more information on our free streams, additional Prime streams, the bracket challenge, live autograph sessions and panels, the addition of a $20,000 League of Legends tournament, and more!
Free Streams
With the help of Justin.TV and IPL TV (IGN's own proprietary stream viewing webpage), absolutely everyone will be able to enjoy two free streams throughout the entire event! Both streams will be shown in 720p high-definition resolution.
- The Main Stage stream will be showing games from Pool Play on Thursday and Friday, and Championship Bracket games on Saturday and Sunday! We intend to show every single game from the Championship Bracket!
- The second stream will feature games from the live open bracket games on Thursday and Friday, and will be showing the League of Legends tournament all day Saturday and Sunday!
Prime Streams
We are happy to announce a partnership with IGN Prime and are thrilled to be able to provide four additional streams to members of IGN Prime live from the tournament floor! The additional streams available to Prime members include:
- Player Vision - Main Stage - This stream will be a split screen feed showing the first-person view of each player in the current main stage game. You could turn on the free stream with our commentators and watch each player demonstrating their professional APM and never miss a thing!
- Player Vision - Qualifier Stage - This stream will be a split screen feed showing the first-person view of each player in the current qualifier stage game!
- LiveU Roaming Backpack Camera at Caesars - This camera will be wandering around the main stage area interviewing players, behind the scenes in the player lounge, and throughout the crowd.
- LiveU Roaming Backpack Camera at Bally's - This camera will be out and about in the Bally's area, streaming the open bracket competitor area, interviewing players, behind the scenes footage, and talking with spectators.

Bug note: This is a work in progress, for example if you click on a Prime stream then you will be locked into that and need to refresh. We are also working on split screen!

There will be prizes for the top 15 brackets, and you can earn up to $1,000 cash for your picks!

$20,000 League of Legends Tournament!
We are super excited to announce our second game at IGN Pro League 3 at Caesars in Atlantic City: League of Legends from Riot Games! We know that StarCraft 2 and League of Legends have a lot of crossover, as evidenced by TeamLiquid's own League of Legends forum and the option to stream LoL instead of SC2 on their stream tracker. Here are some details about our LoL tournament:
- Eight invited teams:
CLG
TSM
Epik
Curse
Rez
Goose
compLexity Gaming
Dignitas (formerly Rock Solid)
- A best of 3, single-elimination bracket will begin on Saturday, October 8th and conclude on Sunday, October 9th.
- $20,000 prize pool!
- Games will be cast on one of our free streams throughout the tournament!
