Thanks to pachi for the amazing banner.
UPDATE: SELECTION ARE FINISHED!!! CHECK WHICH TEAM YOU'RE ON. GAMES BEGIN NEXT WEEK. SCROLL DOWN FOR MAPS.
Tension fills the dusty air as your hands fidget nervously in your pockets. You steal a quick glance to your right, then avert your gaze to the ground. Gradually, the whispers die down and the captain starts to speak. Your heart and time itself come to a screeching halt. “I pick Kennigit,” he says. The rest of the kids hurry onto the field as you are immersed in the agony of being the last one picked, the fat kid, the one less desirable than Kennigit.
Relive the glory of your elementary school kickball days! Join the Liquid Kickball League, inspired by the Blizzard Sandlot tournament! Join a team, win it all, and don’t be the fat kid!
Liquid Kickball League
Signups: CLOSED
Core Maps: Destination, Heartbreak Ridge, Neo Medusa, Outsider, God’s Garden, Shades of Twilight
More information on the map rotation will be given once the league starts.
Format:
There will be eight teams of ten players. Each team will play all of the other teams once (for a total of seven matches). There will be five BO3s in each match and two matches per week over the four weeks. On the fifth week, the second and third place teams will play a 7v7 (7 BO3s), and then the winner will play a 7v7 against the first place team. There is a possibility of 2v2 team matches in the semifinals and finals. Standings will be determined by the win-loss ratio.
Each week, the team coaches PM me their lineup for the two games to be played. Each player must be used once. If a player cannot play for this week, put “SUB” in his slot, and I will randomly choose another player from your team and PM you back.
All games will be BO3, with the map orders and matchups posted in the weekly tournament thread. COACHES, I encourage you to talk to your players to determine their map preferences. Players are responsible for PMing me the results, along with replays, if possible, so the tournament thread doesn’t get too cluttered.
Team selection:
Coaches, I will PM each one of you about the time and place for the team selections. We will most likely meet on iCCup or the IRC channel. PM me back a number between 1 and 1000 so I can decide the selection order. For the selection process, each player will be given a certain number of points (up to 10). Each coach chooses one player in the designated order as long as he remains at or below 25 points. If he reaches 25 points before choosing 10 players, he must choose players with 0 points. Afterwards, each coach will choose a team name.
Signup:
Sign up for a player and/or coach spot. Include your Z/T/P/Random/Race Pick and max iCCup rank if you sign up as a player. I will take the first eight coaches and first eighty players who sign up. DO NOT PM me; post in this thread. If you signed up to be both a player and coach, if a coach slot is available, you will be a coach. Otherwise, you will be a player. COACHES CANNOT PLAY.
Awards: Pending...
Timeline:
Week 1: Signup and Team selection
Week 2: Match 1 (A) and 2 (B)**
Week 3: Match 3 (A) and 4 (B)
Week 4: Match 5 (A) and 6 (B)
Week 5: Match 7 (A) and 8 (B)
Week 6: Semifinals and Finals
**The “A” and “B” are used by the coaches when they PM their lineups. These games can be played at any day during the week (on or before Friday), regardless of whether it’s for Match A or B (you can play your Match 2 games on Monday or your Match 1 games on Friday, if it works better for your schedule).

Most Bang for their Buck?
Although many players were wanted by multiple coaches, several stood out as the indisputably most popular picks. They might not be expensive powerhouses like Jaedong or Bisu (-Oystein-, who got capped out at 10 points), but they were widely regarded as the bargain deals of the night.
Here:

Let the games begin...
Each one of you will play a BO3 on ONE of these map sets:
+ Show Spoiler +
Match A
1. Neo Medusa, Destination, Neo Medusa
2. God’s Garden, Destination, God’s Garden
3. Outsider, Destination, Outsider
4. Shades of Twilight, Destination, Shades of Twilight
5. It’s a Surprise!, Destination, Surprise
Match B
1. Neo Medusa, Heartbreak Ridge, Neo Medusa
2. God’s Garden, Heartbreak Ridge, God’s Garden
3. Outsider, Heartbreak Ridge, Outsider
4. Shades of Twilight, Heartbreak Ridge, Shades of Twilight
5. It's a different Surprise!, Heartbreak Ridge, Surprise
1. Neo Medusa, Destination, Neo Medusa
2. God’s Garden, Destination, God’s Garden
3. Outsider, Destination, Outsider
4. Shades of Twilight, Destination, Shades of Twilight
5. It’s a Surprise!, Destination, Surprise
Match B
1. Neo Medusa, Heartbreak Ridge, Neo Medusa
2. God’s Garden, Heartbreak Ridge, God’s Garden
3. Outsider, Heartbreak Ridge, Outsider
4. Shades of Twilight, Heartbreak Ridge, Shades of Twilight
5. It's a different Surprise!, Heartbreak Ridge, Surprise
IMPORTANT: Again, the only difference between matches A and B is the maps, and NOT the time played. You can play your BO3 any time this week. Communicate with your coach on your map preference, as these maps will remain the same every week. Coaches, PM your lineups to me before Sunday, and players, PM them ASAP in order to play on the maps you're most comfortable with!
EDIT: Since there are 9 teams, NukemDuke's Team will have TWO Match As and NO Match Bs this week. Trust me, it works out.
...now I'm a D- player.
