Hello everyone! This is the moment that we have all been waiting for. We are extremely thrilled to announce IPL4! This event will span three days, April 6th, 7th, and 8th, at a soon-to-be-named venue in Las Vegas, Nevada and will feature both StarCraft II and League of Legends tournaments! This is an all ages event!
StarCraft II Details
When: Friday, April 6th through Sunday, April 8th. Each day will be completely full of streamed games, both from our completely open qualifiers and our group stages.
Where: Soon to be announced venue in Las Vegas, Nevada!
Buy your Spectator passes here: http://ipl4.eventbrite.com
We currently have an offer to purchase spectator tickets at 50% off: Facebook Discount Page (You may need to disable adblock or try more than one browser if this does not work correctly the first time!)
And again, this is an all ages event!
What: A 128-man, double-elimination open bracket, with the Top 8 joining our online qualifiers and invitees in a 20-man group stage, with each person in groups earning guaranteed prize money. Group stages will have an elimination component, where only two players from each group will move into an 8-man, double-elimination bracket for the championship. Every game in the group stage matters, as payout is determined by each person's final standing in the group. Group tiebreakers will be determined by head-to-head results first, followed by map score.
Buy your competitor passes ($40 per person) here: http://ipl4sc2.eventbrite.com/
Player passes are capped at 128, and there are less than 100 passes remaining! ACT QUICKLY, THESE WILL SELL OUT! And again, this is an all ages event!
