Most of us are crossing our fingers and think it would be the most epic thing ever. Our casters are not so much fans of one night of 18 games.

Sad to not see Empire, think it would be a lot better then some of the teams on that list.
However, this looks absolutely amazing!!!!! REally love the effort IPL is putting into SC2 and i'll definitely tune in for this!!!!
GOGOGOGOG Slayers and Liquid!

I think slayers will win this easy if they want to. Maybe mouz can upset them or hero since they all suck against protoss but pvt is his worst MU and he somehow lost to min the first time

QIM, or even colMVP? Slayers is a favorite along with QIM and colMVP in my opinion, but they will have to work for it and use their A-team.
I feel that even if Liquid plays Zenio, they will not have enough depth to play against teams like QIM or Slayers. Mouz has a similar problem, with a lineup of only 5 players. But even their problems with team depth are nothing compared to Millenium (essentially Stephano and some other guys).
RGN does have some strong players in Artist and Inori, while dignitas has Sjow and Select who are pretty good players, but I do not see either of these teams beating the Korean Big 3 (Slayers, QIM, or colMVP), though they could certainly take out mouz, Liquid or Millenium

Mouz has MaNa, Thorzain, MorroW, HasuObs and you put dignitas and rgn above them?

Damn, too bad EG can't do it. I've been wanting to see them stack up against some Korean teams.
Out of foreigner teams mouz has the best shot, but slayers should take this. Sick idea though by ipl. Super pumped to watch this.

Where is Empire?
Why doesnt Empire get an invite. they have a bunch of amazing players.

This is early christmas candies for the eyes I presume?

Picking Millenium instead of Empire is a "wtf moment" for sure. Millenium's players acted like a bunch of thugs when they played against the Slayers team -- in an IPL sponsored event nonetheless -- that alone should've been enough to have them banned from IPL team arenas for a substantial period of time. On the other hand Empire rolled over pretty much every western team in the last couple of months and have shown the highest level of professionalism and etiquette at the same time. What were you guys thinking???

Somehow some of them are not narrow-minded like all the stone-thrower and pitchfork-thrusters who like to consider themselves as rightfully entitled to have everything their way.
In a word ? Deal with it.

Yeah its very narrow minded to simply look at results.Which Empire as a team has WAY more (even more than Liquid, EG) and not get invited just because they are not as well known as Stephano in the US. Its better to be critical than a mindless drone.

I think they just valued Stephano.. Millenium has no name recognition as a team outside of France, except perhaps for two incidents 1. The almost criminal-like behaviour when they re-signed Stephano in a flagrant breach of contract 2. The lousiness and BM attitude of their players in team leagues.
Sure, call me narrow-minded for wanting to have the better - in all possible ways - team competing in the league.

glad to read more people miss Empire in that lineup
after reading otalio's post i look up and see "France". Bit biased are we now?
Stephano is a great player but so are happy, kas and beastyqt.

Empire has gotten 1st and 2nd in two strongest team leagues outside of GSTL.The only foreign team that is probably just better than them is mouz. They also have 4 players going to WCG finals. How does this team get not invited i have no idea. cause of the silly partnership deals Col and Qantic are good, Slayers and mouz are beasts, but the rest is at Empire if not bellow level. Going for name recognition over skill is not how esports should go. Besides- Eastern Europe is extremely active at esports and matches with our players get extra 5-6k just from Eastern Europe easy (when its likes of Kas, Dimaga, Brat-Ok, Happy, White-Ra)

goooooooooooooooo liquid!

Yeah, Empire should have gotten an invite instead of Dignitas/Millenium/Reign.
