Hello everyone! This is the official thread for the one and only International Regional for our next LIVE event, IGN Pro League 5! The top two players of this Regional will earn free travel and hotel stay for the live event. They will also earn an automatic seed into Winners Round 3 at the event. Our North American, European, and Korean Regionals have already concluded. This International Regional is open to everyone and is the last chance for pros to win a free trip to IPL5. You will want to play your absolute best to secure this amazing prize!

Unfortunately, we are not yet able to announce the date or location of our live event. 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 player who qualifies in these online qualifiers cannot make the trip to our live event, their registration fee will be refunded and we will use the Regional results to determine who will receive the free travel, hotel, and tournament seed instead.

Mh, not so nice to force games to be played on NA even if both players are from the same non-NA region.

We still have to keep everything organized via our North American-based admins and casters. Logistically speaking it makes more sense to keep everything based on one server, especially when the other "true" regionals have already been held on their respective servers.

Our Operations Manager Mirhi says that if players get admin permission to play their match on a different server, it will be allowed, but the default for cross-server of any kind and for broadcasted matches will be North America.

Sucks that its at such a bad time for Koreans but they should still place top 2 either way. I don't expect too many players that are currently in GSL wanting to mess up their sleep schedule for this though, looks like MC and TheStC are the first crazy people of the bunch. Guess it isn't horrible for them though since StC just had his RO48 Code A match and MC will be doing RO16 in 2 days and whether he advances or not his next match won't be for a while.

I hope you said the same thing about the TSL4 qualifiers that were on earlier. KawaiiRice and Catz went up against eachother on the EU server.

Hope more koreans know about it. This is way easier than the KR qualifier, unless a lot of KRs start signing up. Every KR who played in the KR qualifier should definitely sign up for this.

For every Regional and other qualifiers, we send e-mails directly to team managers in English and Korean! It's up to them to sign up though! =)

Looks like the deadline was 3am EST Friday, so you missed it by almost a day I guess. I hope that their website didn't let you pay them even though registration was over.
