The IGN ProLeague 6 eSports tournament has been canceled.

IGN announced the cancellation on its website following being acquired by Ziff Davis earlier this year.

“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,” IGN explained in its official statement. “You should also know that we are working on finding a new home for the IPL team and IGN will continue to broadcast partner tournaments in the future.”

Full refunds for the event, which was planned for the last weekend in March, and hotels are being made available, although fans that purchased plane tickets are on their own.
