This is going to be a continuous league, not a one-off, the community leaders have agreed to pledge 5000 rmb for the hosting of the next one after this one finishes. They are making it free for Ro32 players to compete in the next one (they are taking 10 rmb admission fees, a paltry <1.6 USD). They are still in the organization of donations / casting, I will try to get in touch with the people hosting it and see what responses I can get. Currently they are at 5720 rmb / 8400 that they need for this one. | ||

Recently, I have managed to get back on THE oldest computer from the family that still utilizes OS like Windows 97. Because of my curiosity, I wondered around and messed with it a bit there and there. Now you are probably thinking "What the hell does this have to do with StarCraft?". Well it turns out that my cousin that gave me the computer was a huge fan of the game and 9 years back, he used it for netsurfing and such. So on the favorite/bookmark folder, there were around 8 Chinese Websites dedicated to Brood War/WarCraft/Age of Empire and pretty much anything RTS related from the golden age. Most of the sites are unactive and some of them are even expired as its mod probably have decided to not pay for the fees anymore. This is some paleontology stuff right there. However, on one of the Websites, it re-directed me to Playsc.com. Once the link appeared in front of me, the slogan reads "We only talk about SC". And I thought "Cool, something I can related to." Then as I navigated through the board, there was a thread that says "2012年中国星际争霸论坛水友赛" which vaguely translates to "2012 China StarCraft Team League" that goes by the abbreviation of STL. So then I digged deeper in this whole enigmatic presence of this league. And by my research, this is the 23rd 'STL' held to this day. The League spans for a total of 23 seasons. This is the thread by the way: http://playsc.com/forum/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=281970&extra=page=1 It looks like the Chinese have their own system of hierarchy with the list provided. With a little bit more of digging closer to the core of the Interweb mantle, I have found another site with identical information pertaining to the league. The official website is at: http://www.8da.com/forum.php If you scroll down the link to the third section separated by the Blue Bars, you will find a subheading "STL战队专区", it means STL Team Forum. 30 teams are listed underneath. 30 is not a number that can go underestimated. As I aforementioned their method of ranking and going back to the tournament page (first link), there are 5 teams currently listed on the Participation list (more Teams are being contacted). There is also a link on 八达 vs 遥远 (8da vs Yaoyun), looks like forum battles and 确定 means confirmed by the teams just below that. Beside it, you can find http://kan.games.sina.com.cn/u/play.php?uid=2446697112 Which is the VOD of the first match played recently. You can check their level of play by watching the VOD. | ||

All the chinese leagues and tournaments have been going on since forever, I just assumed that the community didn't have interest in it since I never see it mentioned so I never posted it. oops. I don't know quite enough about it myself, alot of websites / communities host their own tournaments, and most of the websites are self-proficient generating their own add-revenue with out a centralized body, so it's difficult for anyone to sort out. I mean for example off the top of my head there are these websites related to BW/SC2: http://www.plu.cn/ http://www.wfbrood.com/ http://www.liansai.net/ http://playsc.com/ http://www.neotv.cn/ http://sc2.tgbus.com/ http://www.8da.com/forum.php http://www.sc2.com.cn/ http://s.163.com/ etc etc.. | ||
