I think this is going to hurt both events (and potentially one more than the other). Not only are you splitting the talent up, but you are also splitting attendance (which is terrible for LANs as you want as many people as possible). I also assume people like to catch up with one another and socialise just as much as competing.
Tough love!
I'm not convinced this is on purpose, let's just wait and see what ACL and iM come up with together and go with that. Neither of these groups would want to clash because of obvious reasons.

It's going to be tough. Both organisers have their venues locked in. :S
Q: How do I register?
A: Registration is not open yet. This is the announcement thread to give players notice. When the time comes for registration a news post will be made.
The first qualifier is 4 days away, any updates on how participants can register?
Due to the release of Diablo 3 and the time-out on both sides of the fence the decision has been made to push back all of the online qualifiers by one week. This will hopefully provide time for both players and administrators to execute the qualifiers at the standard we all expect.
Apologies to anyone who had set aside the time and cancelled any hot-dates.
With regards to the LAN finals, we have opened dialogue with ACL and are working to see if we can resolve the conflict.
