But YES! More dual tournament groups, GOGOGO! It puts focus where it belongs, the one who wins wins! Instead of the classicc "If he wins this 2-0 but player B be loses 1 map vs player C, or player C wins 2-0, he should be through, i think." #anticlimactic  | ||

 Incredible Panic Team League Season 3 You should rebrand it.Aside from that, it's a great news. I'd like to see the organisation getting more involve into bringing international teams instead of korean ones. Otherwise it's just like GSTL, KSL and that's just not worth watching for you. Edit : Just read, Chapatiya and StarVe posts. I'm with you guys ^^ | ||

Okay, so IGN starts IPL, which stands for IGN Pro League, then starts IPL TAC, which stands for Team Arena Challenge, and now IGN is going to name it IPTL, which presumably stands for IGN Pro Team League? That just sounds so strange. I'm so used to "Proleague" and "Team League" being two different things. Like early OGN/MBC differences. Then there's the later simplified "Proleague", which is a team league anyway. ITPL, or "IGN Team Proleague" makes a lot more sense but the abbreviation sucks, and doesn't follow the whole add-T-before-L to differentiate team competition from solo that GSL started with GSTL and NASL picked up with NASTL. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii if MLG comes out with their team format I wonder what it'll be called. | ||

With that said, your division-classified format is the way forward for team leagues, and its definitely an improvement from TAC and the rest of the high profile team leagues. | ||

I would recommend either making it full round robin. This would only add 2 games to the entire existing system at most, so I don't think it would hurt scheduling much at all. If you want to keep the double elimination group system, then there must be a significant advantage for being 2nd in your group rather than 3rd, which at the moment there isn't. To stave off pointless games. Also it might be worth while to make a handy chart to show how this works out visually, like GOM did with the new GSL format. | ||

Premier Division - Code S Group play followed by single elimination tournament. Challenger Division - Code A Single elimination tournament with the top players getting to play the bottom players of the Premier division (Up n' Down) Amatuer Divison - Code B Losers of the Challenger Division play in a massive open bracket along anyone else who can assemble a team. Whether people like this for a team league or not, up to you, but its the exact same thing as GSL in turns of format. | ||

I, for one, don't think scheduling is a problem at all. It's a matter of having a dedicated team and a management that puts time into scheduling. I'm absolutely certain that making this a live format will ease my job a lot. And make it a lot more fun due to the feeling that you get from playing such wars live. | ||
