Amateur is defined by the following: Amateurs must not have earned more than $1,000 in live events. 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. Players defined as Amateurs may also play in their appropriate Regionals if they choose to.



Again, all sign-ups are open RIGHT NOW: http://www.ign.com/ipl/all/news/ipl5-regionals-and-satellites/



These Satellites and Regionals will provide us with 39 players total. They will be joined at IPL5 by FnaticRC.aLive, our IPL4 Champion, to make a field of 40. The format of IPL5 will be one large double-elimination tournament. Regional winners and FnaticRC.aLive will receive a seed into Winners Round 3. Satellite qualifiers will start as usual in Winners Round 1. More details about the format of IPL5 are still to come.



Sign-ups for these Regionals and Satellites will be available very soon, so keep your eyes open on TL, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, and our site for information!



Please keep in mind that anything here is still subject to change! We will respond to feedback and suggestions, as well as try to answer any questions or concerns you may have about the new format. We are excited to open the doors to each region as well as amateur players all over the world to see who will earn their way to our next major event!
