The first European and North American qualifier for the IGN Pro League 5 is taking place throughout this month and the matches will be played each week from Tuesdays to Fridays. After the success of IPL 4 in early April, which reported record breaking viewership for an eSports event in the western world, the organizers did not waste any time and started preparing for IPL 5 which is announced to be even bigger than the previous event. There will be 4 qualifiers within each region in a single elimination best-of-3 format. IPLLoL will run the western regional qualifiers independently, while their partners Garena, MarsTV and S.163.COM will help with the Asian qualifiers.

• 16 Teams for Championship Bracket
• 4 North America
• 4 Europe4 Asia
•  Team SoloMid (Winner of IPL4)
• 3 from Live Event Qualifier

With a diverse 16-team roster and a six-figure prize pool, the main event is sure to be an interesting one. But to get there, teams need to pass the qualifiers first. In addition to a spot in the main event, the 1st place finishers from each region will receive all-expenses paid trips and top seeding for IPL 5.  Red Baron and  HatPerson will provide commentary for the duration of the qualifiers and VoDs will be up on IPL's YouTube Channel.
