Looks like SSL 11 is (hopefully) around the corner, new announcement about the preliminary qualifying tournament:

- SBENU is the sponsor.
- OGN is once again the organizer, along with SonicTV.
- The qualifying tournament will consist of 128 players.
- Anyone can participate (pros, ex-pros, semi-pros).
- It will be an online tournament.
- Signing up for a spot requires verification of identify. They specifically say that you will be disqualified if you use someone else's identity to sign up for multiple slots. I think this is to prevent people from rigging their own wins by playing against their own fake identity.
- Sign-ups from Mar 10-13
- Players must turn their web cams on so that referees/organizers can access them. Presumably this is to minimize shenanigans.
- All matches are BO3s.
- Map pool: Circuit Breaker, La Mancha, All Or Nothing (SBENU)
- RO128 begins Mar 14 at 3PM
- RO32, Finals, and Ranking Games begin on Mar 15 at 1PM
- 1st~8th (!!) advance to the main tournament.

Thanks much, lemmata!

That's going to be a lot of amateurs! (assuming they take up the slots used by oldies like (T)firebathero and (T)ToSsGirL?)

The three maps are on TLPD, also shared here for easier access

So does this mean SBENU is still the sole sponsor? I was really hoping the success of SSL10 would have netted Sonic some financial support, as well as the confirmation other businesses are taking a possible serious interest in the scene again. With the OGN brand attached, I was sure someone else would sign up. Or are these details specifically only for these qualifiers or something?

U know SBENU is all over the place, sponsoring LOL, Sudden Attack, running events and whatnot. Sonic clearly has enough cash to do it so suddenly stepping away from the central starleague theme and letting another company take the credit would seem kinda unwise.

I just thought he was still looking for further investment like with SSL9.

As Stratos said, Sonic is not some online shoe shop anymore where he has to take loans out to sponsor his tournaments. In fact, I would bet that sponsoring the SSL himself is a sound business decision at this point which will actually pay off financially.

Was this the case last time as well?

No. He said he was going to this for a previous SSL (8 or 9, I don't remember), but that never happened. I was really excited for that back then and I am now too. This is the most important part of keeping Brood War running; new players.

Indeed, SSL 10 had a qualifying tournament as well. Two big differences in SSL 11:

1) 8 spots instead of 1
2) Pros allowed instead of only amateurs

With the large number of BW pros now streaming part-time on Afreeca, not all of them will automatically be seeded into the main tournament. I am guessing that the increase in the number of qualifying spots and the participation of pro players in the qualifiers has to do with the increase in the talent pool.

so, is there reason to believe the Qualification slots are not open to foreigners? Otherwise, this could be a tournament of major interest for a lot of guys.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=23404358 im pretty sure pros were allowed back then as well, tho with the one slot it was kinda irrelevant.

Considering the sign-ups for the qualifier have already started, invited players must've been known by now, so they know not to sign up?
