Hello everyone! This is the official thread for the one and only European Satellite for our next LIVE event, IGN Pro League 5! The top 8 of this Satellite will earn qualification for the live event. There will only be one Satellite for America, one for Europe, and one for Asia. Each player may only participate in one of the American, European, or Asian Satellites. There will be one additional Amateur Satellite that will be open to players with minimal previous tournament earnings.



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. For Satellites, we will use results to determine who will qualify in their place.

Well that's good to hear. Say what you will, but IPL does a pretty good job with community feedback. Well that's good to hear. Say what you will, but IPL does a pretty good job with community feedback. Team Slayers, Axiom-Acer and Vile forever

Exactly. Qualifiers like these should not be on weekends as they are bound to conflict with real tournaments. The only benefit IPL gets from this is that they vastly diminish the quality of their lineup in IPL5.

It was honestly a pretty damn stupid move from IPL. Exactly. Qualifiers like these should not be on weekends as they are bound to conflict with real tournaments.

Not unfortunate, it's 100% IPL's fault for refusing to have their qualifiers during the week like every other tournament.

actually its not. they released their dates before any of the other events. I think you should learn some basic maths before you make silly statements. actually its not. they released their dates before any of the other events.

That has nothing to do with math, so I have no idea what you're talking about. I think you should learn what math is before calling me stupid. The word you are looking for is "calendar" or "dates".



You're right, they released their dates before every tournament (with the exception of NASL, who announced before them), that doesn't make their dates make any sense. EVERY OTHER TOURNAMENT hosts qualifiers during the week and it works DAMN well. Yet, IPL decides to hosts qualifiers on the weekend, knowing full well that's when actual tournaments run. People will obviously prioritize playing in a tournament to playing in a qualifier.



Easy solution, have the qualifiers during the week. That has nothing to do with math, so I have no idea what you're talking about. I think you should learn what math is before calling me stupid.

I'll reserve judgment on IPL's management of the qualifiers until their "solution" for players who can't play the satellites is revealed. MLG did their Summer EU Open Online Qualifiers on a weekend.I'll reserve judgment on IPL's management of the qualifiers until their "solution" for players who can't play the satellites is revealed.
