41 Starleague returns to us after a longer wait although the man behind it, 41 (Sa-il, aka Sayle's Korean Terran cousin), hasn't been idle at all, organizing and casting various sponsored matches and a King of the Hill clanleague. The third season of the league will exceed the last season's prizepool and feature the best players Afreeca can offer, minus Bisu. The schedule remains unclear, most certainly due to the two starleagues to still be announced, but if there's one thing 41TV has playing into his hands, it's the flexibility of online streaming.

The map tests sponleague for the league is currently ongoing and should be over soon (Dec 21), hopefully some announcement will come after that. Maybe as a xmas present?^^

Don't count GuemChi out either. Though tlpd doesn't count it in, he's 17-17 in LSL sponleague. He showed some solid games, beat the zvp specialist hero 3-0 and was the first player to take 4 series in a row.

Let's hope it does. I kind of thought the whole project flopped because there was no news about it since the announcement.

The announcements are still up on Love's wall and she's pretty meticulous about updating all events and such there, so I'd be quite surprised if she didn't take it down if it was off the table. sOoL also seems active and in contact with her. They said they can't announce things at will. I feel like at this point, considering Sonic's situation, where afreeca netizens give him TONS of shit for constantly re-announcing things, some period of silence is better than having to take stuff back or postpone it.
for some reason I read $9000 for first place and was like, wow, since when did 41SL get so big? haha. Regardless, great news imo! Hopefully all these BW tournament organizers come together and plan things out so there's no overlaps!

this is ridiculous imo. Sonic puts a ton of time into his tournaments and the least thing afreeca netizens can do is to just be quiet and let him put together another great tourney instead of bitching at his every time.
The league will start this Saturday 8pm kst with group A, it'll be played on various days in 7pm kst, two hours earlier than most events. I'll post full ro32 schedule when I get home.
^^Wonderful news, particularly with matches starting so soon.
Great to see 41 taking advantage of his small and flexible operation without worrying about the regimented TV/broadcast schedules of an OGN or HungryApp
And you just missed the best moment of 2014 Brood War. Just wait a while for the vods of group C, it was magnificent. SSL?? Lol, child's play. This was some real stuff. I literally wet my pants.

but did they have the STYLE START SBENU?!?!!?!?
For your consideration: Lazy starts this game vs Shuttle by sniping a shuttle with two reavers with these doing very little damage. He follows up by sniping another shuttle. 41 proclaims there's no way Lazy can lose the game now. A while later:
Also, Group E was apparently yesterday but there's no thread or results on liquipedia and the event was not on the calendar. Does anyone know if it got played out?

Thanks for pointing this out, please do consider submitting calendar events and starting a LR thread next time, the community depends on each other and TL is all crowd-sourced
