Let's hope the critique from TAC doesn't go unnoticed - that event honestly were quite below the standards we've come to expect from IPL.
Haha, lets just be honest, the TAC finals could have been amazing, but they were lame. Sure the games were all pretty good, but I didn't feel the hype or excitement i felt from IPL 3. or GSTL

Lol good luck with that! So many events. So many internets will be needed, this could be so much chaos. 29th 30th 1st 2nd, to produce GSL Semi Finals and Final. LoL tournament. IPL5. And GSL World Champs?
AND you will need to provide the players to be able to practice? Might be a big flop.....but it might not be

If you watched at the end, there were things like players intros.
Honestly I think the event was supposed to be much better, someone just screwed up.

They could have the GSL semi finals played out on the 1st day Nov 29th and the actual finals on Dec 2nd, giving the players 3 days to prepare for the finals.

I hope they release the package ticket and hotels deals really soon.
I'm looking to get 2 VIP tickets and 5 days hotel at the Cosmo, but I don't want to wait so long that they sell out. Not that I'm expecting $250 tickets to sell out fast.
Can we get any response from IPL staff as to the time when the packages are made available?
The last IPL, the hotel packages came a few weeks after the tickets went on sale.

Oh they changed the format of IPL5 it seems. From the beginning it was 40 players and here, they tell about 72 players.
Many high-level players were upset with the qualification system, as there were a limited number of qualifiers, some of which ended up conficting with other major tournaments (most notably NASL3 Final/WCS Canada vs IPL American Satellite). So in response, IPL added another round to the tournament, 32 more berths, and more qualifiers to fill them (on weekdays).

They should really stop calling that the world championship. It's nothing more or less than Korea vs the world. It's a pretty inherently elitist / nationalist show with very obvious favorites.
|
GSL Semi and Finals. Sexy. Better than r08 till finals for sure.
|
Well, glad they scaled back the GSL a bit. I think semifinals and finals isn't too bad. Ro8 up was probably a bit much, but I'm glad that GSL and IPL responded to the community feedback.

Yeah I know about the qualification stuff which was terrible. It's a good thing that IPL answered like that.

Players will be nominated through a community poll to take place in an open bracket to determine the 2 best NA and 3 best EU players! Keep your eyes open for the community poll that will be coming within the next few weeks!
I look forward to the community voting huk and nony and idra and white-ra and the other old stalwarts who have declined a bit in terms of skill. That said idk how many spots they're going to vote on for this open qualifier, still looking forward to it.
Bit concerned that it might be a lopsided team (eg: no terrans) just due to the qualifiers rather than invites. Also only 5? Would like to see a few more so they can properly chose snipers and such.

Currently qualified are the following players: Sleep, Snute, MarineKing, TaeJa, Polt, Xigua, aLive (invited), Crank, Violet, QXC, MajOr, Axslav, Daisuki, Glon, ViBe, Perfect, Nerchio, ParanOid, Bly, ToD, DBS, Ziktomini, HayprO, JonnyRecco, Creator, J, Byun, TheStC, Sculp, Byul, HerO.

I think this is too much action and nothing will be great.
The GSL Semifinals + Finals are too close to each other so the players will not have enough time to prepare plus it is very likely that one or two participants will play in IPL 5, too. Another shitty finals incoming.
The Worldchampionship is a funny gimmick but no one will really concentrate on it.
Finally the main event: The qualifiers and the main event will be waaay to far from each other so there will be no breakout performances only underachieving ones.
|
better choice with GSL. Also, I assume it will mean tastosis coming in (for gsl), but will they be getting other outside casters or sticking primarily with their inhouse team? I don't remember what they did with IPL 4, didn't watch it. But i hope we'll be seeing outside casters.

LoL is gonna have an open bracket? Holy shit, that's crazy 0_o

I don't see how anyone could watch it to the end - not only did it not live up to the high expectations set by IPL 4, it was quite a bit worse than anything I've ever seen in SC2, even counting the MLG that we do not name.

Glad they scaled the GSL bit back.
If they hold the Ro4 at the start and the Finals at the end that will still allow for some prep.

And which Koreans have qualified for WCG 2012 (World Cyber Games)? The same weekend as IPL5

EVeryone... It's a single GSL, it's not unnatural for events to have different aspects going into it once in awhile, I like the diversity. YES it will be less like the preparation GSL, but it's a single GSL and it will be fucking awesome to have so much talent at IPL5. I know I'll be attending^^

Ironic - in one day Kespa shows how closed minded and anti-competitve it intends to be in this new era, while GOM continues to work with other esports communities to provide opportunities to its players and fans to grow the scene together.
I feel sorry for the Kespa players who wont have the opportunity to be a part of what sounds like an amazing event.
Best of luck to GOM and IPL for this epic event, I couldnt be more exvited about the GOM world championship. They've listened once again and bringing back one of the events of 2011,
