[STPL] Season 3 Announcement - Starts 25/04/2020!

Hello and welcome to the Shinhan Tank Proleague Season 3!

Before we go on I'd like to first give a big shoutout to our fantastic sponsors who make this all possible.
- esport.fund!: https://esport.fund
- Matcherino: https://matcherino.com/tournaments/26983/overview
- Finally our supporters on Patreon and the people who have donated previously or will do on Matcherino.

Without you all we wouldn't be able to keep growing the STPL the way we are. The more the STPL grows the more money will go straight back to the community and the more prizes we can give out so thank you so much for all your support. Also please a huge amount of thanks to the teams, team captains and the players who take part as without them I wouldn't have anyone to host tournaments for!

I feel incredibly happy with how Season 2. In comparison to the first season; Season 2 was more concise, there were a less walkovers and the teams we had we kept throughout the entire season. It saddens me to announce that 3 of those teams will not be returning this season. NaS and NiCe our two North American teams have unfortunately closed their doors and will no longer be competing in tournaments and pSi will be taking a momentary break for this season due to activity concerns. In spite of this we'll still have 11 fantastic teams battling it out across 10 weeks of round-robin matches across a variety of wonderful maps.

Will the 2 time champion SouL be able to hold onto their title and win their third title in a row? There's only one way to find out. Let's get going!

- Disconnect is always a re-game.
However, if the player who didn’t disconnect feels that they have a large advantage
they can submit the game for review by an admin (Qikz and whomever decided).

- Players may take a walkover if their opponent has not shown up 20 minutes after game time.
However, if a player cannot play on the specified gametime then their team may sub
the player for someone of the same race (or different race if other team agrees)
if they are available within that time.

- Players may attempt to reschedule at any point before game time.
If proof is given that a time was agreed with both players, rules apply for given time.
If no proof is given that a time was agreed, rules apply for the default game time.

Qikz, will there be any change on the rules for players specially during the playoffs?
I believe right now there is 0 restrictions, but a general feedback was to allow only players that played a certain amount of games during regular season or something of that sort?

Any chance there is some restrictions regarding the amount of "mercs" in each team?

It really demotivates players to play if there are pro's involved since the skill gap is just too big. Maybe even allowing 1 "merc" per team if possible?
It started from non-korean teams and non-korean players and now it's swarmed with semi-pros and some pros being involved to get a few bucks for showing up. Even tho it helps connect both non-korean and korean communities, it doesnt have the impact that we would all expect since koreans dont really respect any sort of foreigners playing SC:BW, except those who live outside of south korea so they done get casted into a corner and not have any friends.

Hi both, I'll speak to the captains and see what they feel. I understand your frustrations, but the rule will more likely (if agreed upon) be needing x games played in the group stage to be eligible to play in the playoffs.

shame that only 11 teams will participate this season (-3 from seasons 1 & 2) but I bet it will be an awesome league nevertheless with some crazy games, both crazy good and crazy bad ones..

great map pool, btw

Can't wait for this to start Thanks, Qikz.

I don't play in this league, but as an avid viewer, I support this idea.

I think it should be played in x different weeks instead of x games to prevent something stupid like intentionally losing maps so a player can play in the ace match and meet the requirement in the last week
