It's a joke. It means "Radley, this player who we all know is one of the better players in this league, is nothing compared to Poetic who most people have probably never heard of and whose main claim to fame is one almost-victory with a surprise strategy in a tournament qualifier".

Hey Guys! Is it possible to get into this league? 
I havent really played bw in the last 3 years, but i would be all up in some teamleague stuff

Hey everyone! QuickStriker/KoreanUsher here!
Starting next week, I will be the official English caster for this Rookie Teamleague after several private discussions with SCC-Faust.
Every week after matches are done, I plan on casting team matchups on my Twitch channel (and then uploaded to YouTube as VODs). Due to time and resources constraints, I'll most likely cast only 1-2 team matchups for time being and unveil the other match results during the weekly livestream. Currently the live casting broadcast tentative schedule is every Tuesday 4 PM - 7 PM US East Time Zone.
I also reached out to several potential co-casters to commentate with me thru PMs. Some of them are potentially players in this league and it's possible that we may have guest appearances of familiar faces which will be exciting to see. Dedicated co-caster(s) has not been set yet but I expect guest co-casters for sure as the league progress.
One big problem to address regarding casting for Rookie Teamleague: Team Melee matches. After discussing with Faust, there is currently no way to actually cast team melee maps without the replays being broken. We have not found any solution to successfully cast team melee sets but Faust insisted that team melee match will be included so at this point, either I cast a team match that decides the winner before the 5th team melee set or I cast set 1-4 of a team battle and just people know what the results are for team melee set. Another option is I consider team melee set as Set 1, 1v1s as Set 2-4, and 3v3 Hunters as final Set 5 in bo5 situations. So there's 3 options to consider while avoiding to cast team melee (since it's broken) and I'll let Faust or others discuss and decide before I start my cast what the casting format will be.
Lastly a little about me. I used to do some minor English commentaries back in the old 2009-2011 Proleague days and did live real-time Korean voice-> English text translations off Korean commentaries in livestreams at nanashin and other channels. I've been aiming to properly restart my old amateur casting days recently (after several failed attempts) by doing commentaries of BW games of both English amateur leagues and low-interest/small Korean tourneys that don't have English voice commentaries (ie. HoSic Starleague). But as I followed TL and Korean SC BW scene since 2008 and have extensive knowledge of the competitive scene and games, I'm confident I can produce an exciting cast for many today. I'm also an active Twitch streamer who haven't played nor streamed BW for years as I moved on with other things. Aside for Tuesdays casting, I stream indie, strategy and other variety things so please understand BW-related stream will happen only once a week!
Thanks and looking forward for the English cast interest for Rookie Teamleague!

That will never never happen. I'm about 98.89% sure of that.

Oh I forgot one thing I want to ask to all fellow teams. Can I have each team choose a theme song of their own (preferably a music that won't mute the VOD on Twitch and YouTube) to play as their team intro and in-between matches (winner team music gets play until next match is ready to cast)? Otherwise I will randomly play whatever music I feel interested.

Instead of team melee, just do micro/macro map, then you can cast it!
Also, can I join a team? I'm C on iccup

Something I already considered and looked into.
It definitely is a good idea but unfortunately that limits it to a 2v2 with players locked into roles.
And that sort of defeats the freedom and creativity teams can have on team melee mode in my opinion.
There are a few things I really wish I did differently when I first made this topic with the format and how I handled everything, but I'm widely inexperienced and never expected it to be perfect for my first tournament. More of a test drive than anything, and if this goes well, I would love to host another afterwards with plans for it to be a lot more well run. And then I can take more things into consideration like streaming, etc from the get go. Problem with changing things atm is I feel like quite a few of the players signed up because of the fact that it isn't just 1v1s. People enjoy BGH & Team Melee and there is literally no tournament / league that lets you play them. Also, although I changed the 1v1 map pool, player count for teams, rules, and date of the league itself, the one constant has been having the BGH & Team Melee as it was the whole concept of the league when I planned it. Just generally an accessible tournament for players who aren't hella gosu who can work together.
Also, it is less than a week until the league starts so I want to change as little as possible from now on.
That and the fact that I'm not sure how many teams are actually going to show up and/or be prepared, so my primary focus atm is what to do in the situation where there will be a lot of no shows to prevent everything from falling apart.

Oh, and yah, team sign-ups open so if a team wants you, I'll add you to their roster.

I propose https://www.youtube.com/embed/CTE08SS8fNk?start=423&end=460&version=3 as our intro (The Twin Towers of Zenithal)

Any teams still need players? I'm an up and coming Z/P race picker with a lot of heart and a z key. I can promise at least a 10% win rate; maybe even as high as 30% under the right conditions.

Took a quick listen of the music and I love it. That music started at that time shall be your main music theme for "The Twin Towers of Zenital" when your team matchup ends up being casted.
Anyone else?
