I don't know, I definitely expected more high end players than that. Very strange.

You guys dont get it... Even if they will not fill all spots and there will be for example 64 players (I dont believe in that scenario) Even then you will meet someone well known in 1st round (probably) and 2nd round (for sure). So still its not going to be easy 1000$ like Redox was trying to say.

MLG got same tournament format and Open Bracket is always almost full, so even if 3 days before IPL3 there is like 60 people signed it doesnt mean its closed list.

Edit: Ok nvm, I just saw in rules "60$ entry fee to open bracket" thats why they will not fill 256 spots for sure, but still to get to championship bracket and get 1000$ you will have to win at least 2x bo3 with well-known players...
I agree, with a winner loser bracket system it's less likely that a player will make the championship bracket without facing a notible player. But if the bracket is completely random (and i don't think they have a ranking they can rely on) it's possible that all top players are consentrated in one half of the bracket. IIRC MLG uses a ranking system to create the bracket... this will result in a more balanced bracket (with exception of first time Koreans) and make it less likely a nobody reaches the later stages of the tournement. I'm not aware of a similar system for IPL3.

Well, even if a "no name" does make it to the RO32. They will just face one of the invitees or pre-tournament qualifiers from pool play and almost definitely be eliminated in the RO32.

Although I sure do hope they seed based on TLPD International ELO or something like that. Everyone not in the database should be treated as ELO = 0 and then randomly put into the brackets are the rest have been seeded.

But I won't be too upset if its completely random. There are only maybe a dozen players in the open bracket that have a legit chance of going deep into the championship bracket. So as long as the majority of them don't eliminate each other in Round 1/2 of the open bracket it's not a big deal.

And even then, there are maybe 5 players in the pool that are contenders to actually win.

The open bracket is nice and cool. But I don't think it attracted the player pool I (or anyone else) was hoping it would. I'm honestly surprised more europeans didn't come over.

Wow, so you basically only need to win 2 rounds in the open qualifier and you earn 1000$. Pretty crazy.

More people should have taken advantage of this.

btw, how is the seeding in the bracket of the open qualifier determined?



I dont think you understand this correctly, open bracket is 256 players after 4 rounds 16 players will advanced to championship bracket to join 16 people from invitees and online qualifiers. (its double elimination so sometimes even more than 4x bo4)

That means to win 1000$ you need to win 4 x bo3 (or more because of double elimiation system) to get into top 16... and in open bracket you got at least 25+ well known players like:

coLCatZ, coLTriMaster, RGNSpades, RGNslush, aTnSocke, EGDeMusliM, EGiNcontroL, EGPuMa, EGMachine, colminigun, LiquidHayprO, LiquidSheth, RGNKiwikaki, vileSpanshwa, FnaticMSIKR, FnaticMSITTI

So chances that we will see a new face in 32man championship bracket are equal to zero... so no easy 1000$ for everyone.

Could you elaborate on how there are 256 players in the open bracket? The list in this thread, which seems to be complete, consists of 64 players. Which means you have to win 2 rounds to get top 16 and earn 1000$.
But since it's double elimination you need to actually make it to the round of 8 in order to secure a top 16 spot. Because theoretically, you can make it to the round of 16, lose in the winners bracket, then immediately lose again in the losers bracket falling to 17+ place so you don't advance.

So given a 64 man bracket you would need to win at least 3 rounds. And of course, more people can sign up still so some people will need to win an additional round.
