Last night, the second qualifier for the IPL Team Arena brought the list of rosters to completion. The strifes for the $20,000 are soon to break out.

Prime and HoSeo stood out as the best performing teams this last week as they fought their way through the second IPL Team Arena qualifier (held January 16-22) to earn their spots at the big event. Their wins also finalized the line-up of 16 teams that will be pitted against each other in the coming days for the first place prize of $9,000.

Prime had an astounding run through the qualifier bracket, starting with a 5-0 against Team Dynamic and defeating the two European giants Rox.Kis and Alternate 5-1 to reach the qualifier finals. Their opponents in the last match were the fellow Korean team of NS_HoSeo who had a much more challenged run. 5-3 were the magical numbers for the famed for his protoss line-up team, as they ploughed through the quickly growing roster of eSahara, through It's Gosu in the quarter finals and finally their compatriots of team StarTale in the semis. HoSeo took the first place in the qualifier by beating Prime with the same result.

The main event itself is scheduled to begin within a day, on January 23rd. The sixteen teams will fight through a double elimination bracket and the matches will be a Bo9 all-kill format. The top four teams will distribute the $20,000 among themselves with the winners fetching home $9,000.
