Prizes



The first team to defeat everyone on the opposing team's roster (5 wins, or a best of 9) will earn $500 for their team to split however they want. To make things even more interesting, we are including a $100 bounty for each victory that a team earns, for new challengers to try and claim. For example, if a team wins 3 weeks in a row, they will have earned themselves $1,500 total, and have $300 worth of bounty on them. If a new team defeats them, they will earn the $500 for winning the week, as well as claim the $300 bounty.





Fnatic is the second team to win the IPL Team Arena, and they have earned themselves $1000 and a $200 bounty on their heads. Dignitas has always been a formidable clan war team and they are anxious for their chance to prove themselves this week. Here are their full rosters:

This is a pretty big match between two foreign titans, but the lack of Zergs in the Fnatic roster always jumps out at me.

Given this seems to be the element that Reign and It's Gosu were missing, I think we'll have a new king on top of the hill tonight Time Flies like an arrow. Fruit Flies like a banana.

Rain still has the ability to take out everyone on dignitas as well so dont count it against them. you also cant totally disregard fnatic's other players. theyre all quite able to take matches from any of dignitas' players..

True, but Rain is 6-0 in the IPL Arena, and the collected rest of the team is 4-8. The only other player even breaking even is Nightend (and Tod, but he hasn't played yet). So it seems like an outside chance at best that the other fnatic members will be a major force, although I'll concede that Tod and Nightend could bring some fire as well. But I still favour Sjow/Select/TDH/Naniwa over Tod/Nightend/Rain True, but Rain is 6-0 in the IPL Arena, and the collected rest of the team is 4-8.

Soluhwin Profile Joined October 2010 United States 1171 Posts #14 Dignitas has much more flexibility in terms of who they can send out, and don't have to prepare XvZ at all. I'll have to cast my vote for Dignitas. I put the sexy in dyslexia.

Spaceneil8 Profile Joined February 2011 United States 316 Posts #15 It would be nice if IGN would post the players that are sent out first for both teams. GSTL does that and it really helps build hype if we see who's sent put first.
