Meat-Playground Qualifies for Riot’s Season 3 Qualifier AND You Can Too!

“The record-breaking Season 2 World Championships concluded about a month ago, but already the excitement is building for Season 3. This past weekend, Meat Playground earned their spot into Riot Games’ Season 3 Qualifier as the top placing team at IPL5 not already qualified."

Riot Games announced the “Season 3 Path to Pro” qualifying series with multiple ways of earning a spot for aspiring pros. However, not everyone has time to grind out ranked 5v5 matches on the ladder. As an alternative, IGN Pro League will be running a “Riot Season 3 Qualifier Tournament” for 1 of the remaining 16 spots in the Live NA tournament.
