I was just there for my bachelor party, hitting up Marquee on Friday night. The nightlife at that hotel is amazing with very upscale-dressed folks and amazing looking women. It is THE hotspot right now. Very nice venue book, IPL. Much props on an amazing venue.

This is so not fair! There is no way that I can afford to go to this, and it looks amazing. Why are you so bad-ass IPL?? Congrats on a great choice for location and venue, but damnit next time make it some place I can afford to get to please?

We have TotalBiscuit, dApollo, CatzPajamas, DOA, HDStarcraft and PainUser.

Really?
I was quite excited until I saw this. Honestly it's really disappointing.

Nice hype video and amazing location! IPL4 is destined to be a huge success. I hope David Ting still remembers my feedback e-mail I sent right after IPL3.

By the way, what is the music in the background of the hype video?

Is there going to be more info released?

I have a few questions that have yet to be answered:

1. Is this BYOC? Im assuming no, since it has not been mentioned, but what will we need as competitors? Keyboard? mouse? nothing, everything will be provided?

2. Are there going to be any promotions with Cosmopolitan or nearby hotels or attractions? Any special hotel/flight deals?

3. I assume competitor passes are also good as spectator passes. Is there going to be a special room or special accommodations for competitors vs spectators, other than getting to participate? (like a competitor room, ie better access to see/meet pros)

Thanks in advance for any answers

I can't say for sure but I CAN tell you how things were for IPL3:

1.Computers are provided as well as keyboards and mice... but they were pretty crappy/hard to play on (especially the keyboard). I would recommend bringing your own mouse and keyboard.

2.IPL announced they would be releasing hotel discount packages for Cosmopolitan but the info hasnt come out yet. The Cosmo is one of the most expensive hotels on the strip so you might be able to get a better deal looking somewhere else close by. Flights in general aren't the most expensive to vegas, not sure where ur from but i think they were around $70 one way from Northern California.

3.Yes competitor passes double as spectator passes. At IPL3, there was a players practice room with computers set up for players to use. Alot of SlayerS and TL were in there and there were plenty of computers available.

How to spend money correctly, an IPL essay.
Props to these smart men.

The fact that the players of the GSTL finalists will be able to compete will bring this whole GSTL season a brand new meaning.
Potentially there's the possibility of a relatively unknown b-teamer to take the IPL prize if his team performs well enough to grab the finalist spot, I'll bet whatever you want that korean players are training hard as fuck both for the team and themselves.
Great games incoming, that's for sure.
