Hello Summoners! The IPL is proud to present the 32 team League of Legends online qualifiers for IPL4! The first place team will receive airfare and hotel accommodations to the live event. The top 4 teams from the qualifier will earn a spot in the 8-team championship bracket at IPL4 and receive a cash prize! Please note that there will be only four team openings at our live event, which are obtainable only through this online qualifier!
Registration does not guarantee entry into the qualifier bracket. Our tournament staff will choose participating teams to be in the qualifier bracket based on team ELO, player ELO, and previous tournament standings. At this time, we will only be accepting sign up from NA and EU based teams.
Once selected to participate in the qualifier bracket, a registration fee of $25 is required within three business days of notification. Failure to pay the registration fee will result in disqualification from the qualifier bracket and a new team will be chosen to fill the empty spot.
Unfortunately, we are not yet able to announce the date or venue of our live event yet, but it will take place in Las Vegas. All we can tell you is that it is coming up soon and these qualifiers were scheduled in a way that ensures that we have time for travel preparations to be made. If for any reason, a team who qualifies in these online qualifiers cannot make the trip to our live event, their team registration fee will be refunded and we will use the qualifier results to determine who will fill their team spot and receive the prize and tournament qualification instead.
When
Sign Ups: Sign ups begin immediately and will continue through February 10th.
Sign up here: http://esports.ign.com/lol/ipl4_signup
Round of 32: Feb 11th – Feb 17th. Teams will play their matches on their own accord, reporting the results to tournament staff.
Round of 16: Saturday, Feb 18th and Sunday, Feb 19th, 9:00AM PST (That is Saturday morning for North America, Saturday evening for Europe). Teams will play matches under the supervision of tournament staff. Matches will be broadcasted live, or recorded for later broadcast.
Round of 8, Semifinals, and Grand finals: Saturday, Feb 25th and Sunday, Feb 26th 12:00PM PST (That is Saturday afternoon for North America, Saturday evening for Europe). Teams will play matches under the supervision of tournament staff. Matches will be broadcasted live!
The Format
Teams are expected to check in 45 minutes before the start of the online qualifiers. Please be aware that these qualifiers can and will take a lot of time. Each round is a best of 3.
Servers: All games will be played by default on the North American server. We ask that teams remain on North America in order to ease the facilitation of the tournament, and only switch servers if both teams agree to it and it is deemed necessary to play without severe lag.
Note 1: There will be no age restrictions at all for IPL 4.
Note 2: Residents of the state of Vermont may not participate in the online qualifiers due to state law.

On which server is this being played since it is for EU and US? Also you should have waited till you knew which 4 teams will get a direct invite and how big the cash prize for the top 8 is. Most teams will probably hold back till then. Good luck.

I dont think any team will hold back when there is a tournament sponsored by IGN.

See, what would be PERFECT would be invites to M5, CLG.EU, AL, and Sypher. THAT would be a tourney.

IPL's decision is better because it is less biased. Why invite those teams and not aAa, SK, fanatic, exGBT or Millenium?

aAa beat CLG.eu, Sk beat m5, fanatic has a good track record at LANs, exGBT got second at WCG, Millenium got decent results. IPLs decision is correct in inviting the prior teams and having the new ones fight it out. Might as well add MiG to the invitees.

Hoping the EU teams actually sign up for this. Although playing on NA is pretty bad for them, however the top tier teams should make it though.

We've got a number of great sign-up teams so far and are still looking for more! Bug your favorite streamers to make sure their teams sign up! =D

Get it going IPL 3 was amazing// make IPL 4 the best it can be as well!

Lexvink is it you who's at UW? I thought it was Aphromoo originially since he's friends with a guy I know but it's not...
I'm trying to keep track of all the people I know from here/all the connections I have but it's getting difficult. (Trying to maybe spearhead a CSL LoL team though I'm sure the pros would be too busy...)

I would love to see corean teams at IPL in the future, like MiG blaze and MiG frost.
