Make sure your voice gets plenty of rest so you can announce the GSL event like last time. Epic stuff. =D
Already in the works. :D

Thats a lot of tournaments in 4 days, hope they dont get tired out.
|
Sweet, cant wait, hopefully the learn from TAC
|
If they are putting the semi's and finals as far apart as possible on the weekend I find this acceptable, much better than ro8-finals.

Hello CatsPajamas, Is there any reason why exactly from Nov 29 to Dec 2? Didn't you know that WCG 2012 has the same weekend/date? Why not one week earlier or later (to avoid two tournaments at same weekend)? Dont get me wrong, I am not talking ipl5/gsl but ipl/wcg.
I think we all have enough seen how it works in the past with two tournaments on different place at same weekend like MLG & Dreamhack (two times).

Nice looking forward to it ingoring IPLTAC I found IPL 4 quite good and had fun so looking forward to this
|
should cut the prize pool by 50% or more and up the production value other than that sounds great
|
Seems so far away, but time will pick up surrounding this hype!
|
Guesses on the foreign nominees for the world vs korea faceoff? I'm going: America: Sheth, Major (eligible?) Europe: Stephano, Naniwa, Nerchio
That's a whole lotta zerg... could be a weak point.

Glad to hear they dropped the round of 8. Having just the GSL semis and final on the same day is significantly more reasonable.
|
Very glad to hear they got rid of GSL ro8. I think the players can handle preparing for 1 definite and 2 possible opponents.
|
I'm wondering if there is actually any SC2 events on Thursday or if its only LoL qualifiers. The website doesn't specify it.
If its only LoL, that could save me a day of hotel. Any IGN/IPL persons around that could find that out?

Oh, and the Semis and the Finals will most likely be on different days, so the semis will play out, then the competitors will have a couple of days to prepare for the finals. It's not 100% settled yet, but I'm pretty sure that's how it's going to go.

The week before is Dreamhack. The week before that is WCS. The week before that is MLG. It's unfortunate that both events land on the same weekend and we do try and accommodate as best as possible given the incredibly busy schedule of events in eSports at the moment. Hopefully fans will be able to enjoy this event as much as any weekend.

I'm a little disappointed that the All Star team won't have Taiwan/Chinese Seed as I'd love to see Sen there again. Or Xigua

You, IPL guys, make an awesome job. IPL 3 was great, IPL 4 was, to me, a little worse but the GSTL finals were intense. I was disappointed about IPL 5 along the qualifiers and the decision to play the RO8 to finals of the GSL. You listen the community, you make great decisions and I'm sure the IPL 5 will be, through it, way better than I expected. I can't wait to see it and I'm very curious about the GSL World Championship. It's uncommon that the community and the players are considered at this point, congrats to you.

there's nov 10-11, but understandably that doesn't work out as well as dec 1-2 due to gsl5 ro4/finals etc
wonder if polt or taeja or mkp will qualify for both IPL5, GSL5 finals and WCG haha

November is an insane month, you have the big end of the year events for the major leagues in sc2. Final MLG, IPL and Dreamhack + WCS and WCG finals.
