IPL4 & GSTL Finals at Las Vegas

image: ipl4lasvegas


After StarCraft 2's succesfull start of 2012 with tournaments like HomeStoryCup IV, MLG and ofcourse the GSL, it's time for the IGN Pro League to step up to the new production standard for this year.
Seeing that IPL3 at Atlantic City was a massive succes there won't be a lot of doubts that this year can be even better. For starters the current location is in no less than Las Vegas at the Cosmopolitan.
140 players will duke it out for the grand prize of $40,000. Players like United States of America image: Zicon_smallIdrA, Korea, Republic of image: Ticon_smallMarineking, Korea, Republic of image: Picon_smallMC and France image: Zicon_smallStephano have been invited and you will definitely see them giving their best.

The system is comparable to MLG's with an open bracket where 128 players will fight for the 8 spots left in group play. Each group has 2 spots left which will be filled with the people who come out victorious of their open bracket. The groups have already been filled with invites and players who won their qualifiers.
All matches up to the semi finals will be BestOf3, the Semifinals will be BestOf5 and the Grand Finals will be no less than BestOf7.

We will see from April the 6th till April the 8th whether France image: Zicon_smallStephano can defend his title in this epic, epic spectacle!
