CatsPajamas, Doa, HDStarCraft, PainUser, TotalBiscuit, dApollo, and maybe even more!

Please more, none of the above can hold my interest.

Please don't go through with this map pool.

Tal Darim is an excellent map and came out as THE MOST balanced map from the Playhem stats so it should definitely remain.

Shakuras produced the epic finale to the best series in SC2 history between DRG and MMA.

However Calm before the Storm and Terminus are both awful. The former is basically an enforced 15 minute no rush snooze fest while the later has some disgusting positional imbalance given certain spawn positions.

EDIT: I also like the point bought up that inviting 12 players or whatever then just handing them atleast $1000 when they can lose every game they play is... a bit poor. On the one hand I like the idea of not having an incredibly top heavy prize pool and spreading it out a bit more but on the other getting a grand for potentially not winning one map... hmm, easy money i guess.

Fuck. Yes.

And got a competitor badge. I will get stomped, but I'll have more fun blowing $40 in Vegas playing vs some gosu pro instead of a game of craps.

So the invited players basically get a free $1000 at least?

And are you always going to be inviting the winners of previous IPLs? So can we expect to see Idra, Stephano, Whitera, and the winner of this one at IPL5?

Can't wait for this! Quite possibly the best instance of a foreigner plowing through Code S Koreans; can Stephano defend his title? Will there be another foreigner upset? Can't wait to find out!

Sad face... would maybe go if it was one week earlier. Sounds like it will be an awesome event though! I really like the double elimination format throughout and the balance of invited and open qualifiers.

edit: It's not exactly unique to this event, but the prize dropoffs in sc2 events are steep! Progamer is rough life yo.

A championship bracket should never include Bo3's imo, its just not enough to decide when the pricepool is this big! Come on, Bo5 from at least Ro8 on would be nice.

Odd weekend to have this, can see it hurting viewership. But I am very excited to see IPL in Vegas. I look forward to it.

Double Elim never make a good final!

I predict we see someone come from the losers bracket, you know, coming back from the dead, on easter. I see what you are doing IPL, giving yourself a nice story line there.

Personally, Easter works out great -- basically everyone gets friday off (and for this target demograpic -- school is off)

Sounds great, can't wait! Lots of great players already qualified and the list of signups looks impressive too. Looking forward to this!
