Casting
We're going to be doing casting a little different from how most people normally do qualifiers. I'll get the first talking point out of the way first - we are not streaming live qualifiers. We were trying to figure out a way to improve the qualifier viewer experience, which is normally large amounts of time of casters trying to find games, waiting for players to finish games, checking the brackets, etc. What we are trying for IPL 2 Qualifiers is that we will be allowing anyone to check out the brackets up to the round of 32, and then at that point the games will still be played, but the results and replays will be sent directly to me. Then, during the week we will have a crew of casters pick some of the best matches from the Round of 32 and on and stream for you guys! The schedule follows:
Week 2 Broadcast Dates:
May 16th - EdwardStarcraft IPL Mondays (RO 32) - 3 PM PDT to 6 PM PDT
DuckloadRa vs VTPokebunny
Lalush vs Nadagast
sixjaxdde vs ROOTdrewbie
DesRow vs roxkisBratOK
May 17th - EdwardStarcraft IPL Tuesdays (RO 16) - 3 PM PDT to 6 PM PDT
May 18th - Raelcun IPL Wednesdays (RO 16) - 3 PM PDT to 6 PM PDT
May 19th - AskJoshy IPL Thursdays (RO 8/Semi-Finals/Finals) - 3 PM PDT to 6 PM PDT
Set 1: DignitasMerz vs MYMCloud
Set 2: Lalush vs roxkisBratOK
Set 3: Loser of Set 1 vs Loser of Set 2 (3rd Place Match)
Set 4: Winner of Set 1 vs Winner of Set 2 (Finals)
Week 3 Broadcast Dates:
May 23th - CatsPajamas IPL Mondays (RO 32) - 3 PM PDT to 6 PM PDT
May 24th - EdwardStarcraft IPL Tuesdays (RO 16) - 3 PM PDT to 6 PM PDT
May 25th - Raelcun IPL Wednesdays (RO 16) - 3 PM PDT to 6 PM PDT
May 26th - AskJoshy IPL Thursdays (RO 8/Semi-Finals/Finals) - 3 PM PDT to 6 PM PDT
Week 4 Broadcast Dates:
May 30th - CatsPajamas IPL Mondays (RO 32) - 3 PM PDT to 6 PM PDT
May 31th - EdwardStarcraft IPL Tuesdays (RO 16) - 3 PM PDT to 6 PM PDT
June 1st - Raelcun IPL Wednesdays (RO 16) - 3 PM PDT to 6 PM PDT
June 2nd - AskJoshy IPL Thursdays (RO 8/Semi-Finals/Finals) - 3 PM PDT to 6 PM PDT
We will then reveal the full RO 32 bracket on Friday and update our website and the main IPL 2 thread with those who qualified!
Thank you everyone who applied to cast the IPL 2, we got flooded with applications and I really appreciate the interest. The casters picked to cast the IPL 2 Qualifiers does not absolutely mean they will be casting the IPL 2 Main Event (aside from CatsPajamas, of course) so your applications are not out the window until we make final decisions for IPL 2!

Restrictions
• Player must be in a Master or Grand Master league on the North American, South American or European ladder to participate and LIVE in one of those regions.
• All games must be played on the North American server for both the qualifier and the main event.
• Account sharing is not allowed, players must own a North American account.
• By signing up for the qualifiers, it is agreed that the player will be available on the following dates leading up to the main event of the tournament (in the event that the player is eligible):
On June 11th we will do WR 1, WR 2 and LR 1, LR 2
On June 12th we will do WR 3, WR 4 and LR 3, LR 4, LR 5
On June 18th we will do WR Finals and LR 6, LR 7
On June 19th we will do LR Finals and Grand Finals
If you will be at Dreamhack or GSL Super Tournament we will work with you to play your games early! No exceptions will be tolerated for the scheduled dates unless you have a seriously urgent issue. If a player wins a qualifying spot and fails to be present for the tournament, IGN reserves the right to find the next highest finisher from the qualifier as a replacement. The penalty for a qualifier no show is a two season ban for future IPL qualifiers.
Seeding
The top 4 finishers from IPL 1 receive seeds 1 through 4 in order of their finishes. The place awarded to the player in the qualifiers will determine the seed for the IPL 2 Main Event, descending from seed 5, in order of qualifier. For example, if a player were to finish first in the first qualifier, he will receive the overall seed of 5. If a player finished first in the second qualifier, he would receive the overall seed of 6.
Rules
All qualifier rules are located at the tournament page on Z33K - http://www.z33k.com/starcraft2/tournaments/710-ign-pro-league-season-two-qualifier-1
