Hello everyone! IGN Pro League will be hosting an event at South by Southwest or SXSW in Austin, Texas this year! We will be part of the Interactive portion of the event at ScreenBurn. ScreenBurn is the name of their video game culture exhibition, and you can read more about it here: http://sxsw.com/interactive/screenburn/arcade ScreenBurn is free and open to the public on March 9th - 11th so please come and join us for an awesome time!
What is IPL doing there? Well, we are going to have a huge, LIVE showmatch right in the middle of everything, featuring two of your favorite players. The top two players in the poll in this very thread will be flown out to Austin, Texas by us to play in a live best of 9 showmatch for $5,000 worth of prizes. First place will receive $4,000, and second place will receive $1,000. Hopefully that's enough on the line for just one series that the winning players will put on one heck of a show.
Now to meet your nominees from all over the world:
16 players from 7 countries are vying for your votes so that they can fly to Texas and play in this massive showmatch! Who will the fan favorites be?
Head over to http://esports.ign.com/sc2/sxsw and place your votes (Two per person! Pick your favorites!) before midnight Pacific Standard Time on Monday, January 16th! That's when the voting ends. Our two players with the most votes at that time will be flown in to take part in an unforgettable live showmatch! Please leave any questions, comments, and discussion here, as we'll all be reading and eagerly watching as the poll progresses!
Also, don't forget to remind them about promoting this poll! If you really want to see your favorite player, they will need to tell their stream viewers and fans about it!
VOTE LINK: http://esports.ign.com/sc2/sxsw
Just as an FYI / Disclaimer: IEM World Championships in Germany are the same weekend as South by Southwest. If our poll winners decide to attend that event, we will go down the list by votes received until we have two players that can attend.
Right now, the players on our poll that are conflicted right now are EG.IdrA, coLMVP.DongRaeGu, and EG.PuMa. It will be up to the players and their teams to decide which event they will attend, so just keep that in mind as the voting continues!
Update!
The poll is now closed, and our winners are actually both former IGN Pro League tournament champions!  White-Ra and  Mill.Stephano will be battling it out live in Austin on March 9th and 10th!

drg vs whitera, two of my favorite players. The fact that it is intended to be a showmatch will make things very interesting.

| I voted Idra/MKP, which I'm pretty sure they'll win as it's the most popular foreigner against the most populer korean on that list, in a non-mirror match. Second would probably be Huk/DRG. |
