Wow. I love the prize pool distribution in this tournament. If you get top 16 in the open tournament you walk away with $1000. That's pretty damn spiffy even if you get properly crushed in the championship bracket. And every invite automatically gets $1000 to help defray travel costs.
IPL is off to a good start!
pretty sure all invites + qualified players get all expenses paid (travel + hotel)

hmmm, is team liquid teaming up with IPL in some way? don't think I've ever seen a countdown for an MLG or DH.
OP says it's sponsored. Think of it as ad space.

i cant understand not to invite nerchio who 3-0ed idra etc but invite idra ... not fair so far
I think it's fine to invite the previous IPL winners to IPL 3.

Don't get me wrong, i love what IGN is doing for E-sports and i'm going to watch this event. However i think that the competition model in IPL 1 and 2 was better than this one.
Another thing that bothers me is why didn't IGN invited the both runner-ups from their previous tournaments (Kiwikaki and Nerchio) and decided to randomly invite players like MC and Boxer that never participated in the events. There are other oddities like the invitations of Huk and Boxer (I guess we can understand this one). This does not reward the history and commitment of the players with the event.
Other than that gg gl

Because what IPL, and any other serious tournament for that matter, really cares about is viewership. Thats why they invite people who will give them many viewers, people like MC and Boxer. Nerchio and Kiwikaki, while both are excellent players, don't have the same crowd appeal as the emperor and the former President.

Awesome portal. Going to be a very fun tournament

Umm, Koreans were excluded from participation in IPL 1 and 2 so how is it fair to reward commitment to the tournament when they haven't even had the opportunity to show it?

This seems like it will be a very interesting and fantastic end to the IPL3, I will definitely be watching it.

That's an ad i don't actually mind, looks good infact.

So maybe I'm missing something but wasn't WellPlayed.org the original community forum for the First IPL? Or was it NASL? Seems like TL is the official community forum for NASL and IPL now which is dope... I mean it's awesome that TL got the gig, but does anyone know what happened there? I thought Well Played did all the graphics and everything for the first season of IPL? Or am I confused?

WP was doing the graphics and stuff for IPL S1 but after that season IPL decided to internalize everything and got their own staff for everything. NASL I never really got in the first place what the point of being the "official forum" was and have no idea what the motivations were to stop that arrangement.

I don't think many people would know, and I doubt that they would tell you. Probably not that much.

Enough for IGN to see a reasonable return on their investment. There really isn't much more that needs to be said. It's the same with all advertising.
This is just the first time (that I have seen) with third party event countdowns.

Why you would try to make one site an official forum is beyond me. People will post where they please regardless of text on a page saying it's the forum[/i] or not. Example: Battle.net. Sure if you want a Blizzard employee to respond you'd do well to post there but that would be the exception.
