A tournament watcher's days are busy. Events follow events, sometimes overlapping, and there are always more games than you can watch. Adding to the pile is IPL5, returning after more than a half a year. This is our rundown. 
Excerpt from "The Rules of the Game at IPL5" Koreans must have a special relationship to IPL, because in no other tournament, excepting GSL, are they ever so numerous. Of the original 72 participating players, less than half come from outside Asia. Last April’s IPL4 saw the Championship Bracket become a miniature Code S, with only Stephano making it anywhere near the finals. This time the tournament is looking much the same, even bringing the same caveats in the form of Naniwa, Stephano and HuK. Of course, it’s not exactly a rerun. MarineKingPrime, then the most dangerous player in the world, is not here; neither is Mvp or Nestea. This won’t be much comfort, however, if you’re going up against DongRaeGu in the first round.
