I would be kind of mad if I played through a qualifier to win it and realize the date is one I can't be able to attend. I have to say this is my only qualm with IPL too. I'm not a pro, but planning a vacation is kind of a big deal, especially if it will be in Vegas like IPL4 (pretty likely). It would be extremely helpful to know 3-4 months in advance (rather than 1-2) so that proper planning can be done. | ||

In the post you say, This rule were put in place to encourage new players to sign up and try to earn a free trip to a major tournament that they otherwise would not be able to attend. does that mean that the regional qualifiers are also amateur-only? If so, then everything is amateur-only except FnaticAlive? O_o You said there's only 1 bracket, so amateurs will be playing with the "pros"; they're simply just given a chance to attend, kind of like an online open bracket. If there are only 40 spots total, how many of that will be "amateur-only" attendees ? | ||

Single elim isn't that lucrative if you are travelling from afar, which is exactly what IPL wants. They want players from across the globe to flock to IPL5 and make the tournament just as ridiculously competitive as it was at IPL4. | ||
