Hello everyone! It's time for some more details concerning our IPL4 live event in Las Vegas, Nevada, running April 6th-8th!

First up, we have received confirmation from our final invitee, and have drawn up our finalized groups with that information in mind! Keep in mind that each group will still have two empty spots that will be filled with players from the live, open qualifier. Here are the groups:

Now for some important information regarding our first ever premium stream pricing:

Many people will have questions about if we will have a paywall, and if we do, details about it. We've finalized our plans and are excited about sharing it now. Making sure that people can enjoy our content for free is a top priority for us, and we also want to increase the quality we offer.

Recently we've made a big investment and upgraded all of our equipment to support true 1080p HD quality! On top of that, we've decided that instead of having streams entirely behind a paywall, all of our streams will be available for free! That includes the LiveU cam, which had a lot of great content at IPL3. To help us recoup part of the costs, we have partnered up with Twitch.tv, and have come up with a compelling subscription-based deal of $5 per month for the 1080p and 720p stream. All other resolutions will be 100% free.

This package will cover ALL of our events, whether they are online, or live. Regardless of whether they are in North America, or anywhere in the world. There will be no additional fees, period.

We feel this is the right balance of increasing the quality of our content, but not forcing undue costs to our viewers. Hopefully you agree.

If you are currently an IGN Prime member, we want to make sure you can take advantage of this offer, so we will offer a one time opportunity to migrate from IGN Prime to our new Twitch.tv subscription page. Details on that are still to come.

To do a quick sum-up, all of our streams can be viewed for free on 480p or lower, 720p and 1080p will cost $5 per month, for all of our content, no matter if it is a live event or an online event. IGN Prime users will be given the chance to switch over to this model soon.

This paid subscription model will take effect the first week of April, with IPL4 being the first of our events to be covered by it. All of our streams will continue to be free in all resolutions until IPL4.

Thank you very much for your continued support and please leave any questions or comments here, we read every post!

Also, just to reiterate, live qualifier competitor passes are going quickly: http://ipl4sc2.eventbrite.com/

Looks great! I prefer a free low quality stream then paid HD streams, makes sense to me that you pay for a premium quality product. The invited players are pretty sick too.

$5 for a weekend of content isnt bad, its like ESL prices for HSC. Much better than $20 for the weekend.

IPL!

1080p is great, and the value seems there! 480p, if properly encoded, still looks really great for a free stream so I definitely support this decision and I'll be picking up my pass

Really cool that the LiveU streams will be free this time. Those streams were awesome last time. Beast crew!

It's not only for the weekend either, it's for all their event that month. This is a pretty insane deal for the amount of content you get.

April is still awhile off. If he can get his ZvT back to where it was at the end of 2011, he's got a very good chance of advancing.
