IPL5 Online Qualifiers! NA and EU!

With the recent success of IPL4, we are excited to look to IPL5 and the excitement in store for our third live event. This time around, North America and Europe will have their own qualifier tournaments, and we’ll be adding Asia into the mix as well. Garena, through a partnership with IPL, will be running various online qualifiers through their own outlets and the winners will compete at IPL5.

Over the coming months, the IGN Pro League will be holding 8 regional online qualifiers (4 in North America and 4 in Europe) to decide which teams will earn the honor of playing at IPL5. The winning team from each qualifier will receive an invite, while the rest of the teams are welcome to register again for the following qualifiers in hopes of earning a spot.



Online Qualifier Tournament Format

  • 4 qualifiers within each region
  • Separate EU and NA tournaments
  • 32 Team Bracket
  • Best of 3 Matches
  • Single Elimination
  • $1000 Prize
Seeding Match

Once a team has won each of the 4 qualifiers, a round robin tournament will commence to determine seeding. The top seed coming out of this tournament will have their flight and hotel accommodations paid for, courtesy of the IPL.

Signups for Qualifier 1, NA and EU!

Dates: Opens Monday, April 23, Ends Friday, May 4th
Cost to Enter: $25 Per Team
http://esports.ign.com/lol/ipl5_regional_qualifier_signup

Tournament Schedule

Matches will begin Tuesday, May 8th.
Broadcasts of live qualifier matches will happen Tuesday-Friday
11:00am PDT / 20:00 CEST – EU Tournament Matches
5:00pm PDT / 04:00 CEST – NA Tournament Matches



IPL5 will take place at an undetermined date in the United States, and will have an open qualifier component as well as a championship bracket component. It will have a six figure prize pool!

16 Teams for Championship Bracket
4 North America
4 Europe
4 Asia
Team SoloMid (Winner of IPL4)
3 from Live Event Qualifier

For IPL5, we will be having an open, live qualifier. An undetermined amount of teams (depends on space availability) will be able to buy team passes to participate at the event and possibly earn a spot in the championship bracket and a chance at the huge Grand Prize!

Separate EU and NA tournaments

Friggin perfect. That is exactly what I wanted.

So happy to see how competetive LoL is developing. Things get better and better.

Also, 6 figure prize pool. Wow.
I just hope all teams that qualify can afford the trip to the main event.

When it says Asia, which areas of Asia are you talking about?
Hopefully not just in the areas where the Garena servers are.
I really want the Korean/Chinese teams to be able to come

If a non-sponsored team manages to win per say, they have to pay their own flight arrangements, yes?

do no invite Chinese team, 90% of them have visa issues anyways due they dont have stable incomes... (no offense to them, but it sucks when they get the spot and cant come)...

I wish to see more Korean and Taiwanese teams.

Taiwanese Teams are really really good btw.

it's not due to their instable income, they make quite a lot of money compared to the average person in china. It's more of a visa problem because the chinese government is slow as fuck when approving visas.

wat, chinese government never approve visas, the foreign embassies do.
foreign embassies doesnt like chinese because half of them have immigrant intent (fake marriage, illegal immigrant, spying, illegal employment)...

Chinese government has the final say in whether or not teams like Ehome or iG(CCM) or whatever can go. They just need to send/push their applications before hand. Once they get the visa approved for the US, which is generally (12 months) they're free to come and go.
