IPL6 Officially Cancelled!

So less than one month to go before the IGN Pro League 6 event was scheduled to occur, officials from IGN confirmed that the event has been cancelled. In a press release, IGN stated that:


We regret to inform you that we have decided to cancel our next public competition event, IPL 6 at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, March 28-31. 

When we launched IPL two years ago, the eSports landscape was very different with far fewer events than we have now. Now there are more tournaments than ever before competing for people's time and attention, so we're no longer in a position to commit the resources required to run another major independent event.
