Squirtle is absolutely worthy but there are tons of worthy players who deserve an invite. We ended up with the simpler choice of just inviting the previous winner from the last live event, which is a trend we plan on continuing, rather then taking up a large amount of the player spots with previous winners. | ||

This is interesting news but it's still very vague. The regionals will be held online with the exception of the Chinese Regional. IPL 5 date is TBA. Players must live in and be able to fly from the listed region at the time of the qualifier and may only play in one of the European, North American, or Korean Regionals: | ||

Loving that you will also have a good amount of players from each region and prevent koreans from taking all the NA spots. Damn MLG could really learn a lot from IPL! | ||

(so e.g. NA Satellite just means its played on NA server?^^) edit: you might wanna change that? topic: don't really like the idea of the Amateur thing, but ok, we will see how it turns out. Format: I don't like 'regular' DE brackets, too much luck... but yes, its simple so prob better | ||

That's if , and I hope I understood this correct, all the players who qualify for the IPL 5 live event will have the same start and noone will have an advantage (seeded into pool play) like last time! Loving that you will also have a good amount of players from each region and prevent koreans from taking all the NA spots. Damn MLG could really learn a lot from IPL! aLive and the qualifiers from the regionals will be seeded into Round 3 of the Winner's Bracket. | ||
