Confused why team Empire did not get invited. Easily would be in top 4 with presented line up.
Nerchio, Kas, Beasty, Happy as main line up with BLy and hobot to call upon is a fearsome team
So.. this Earth, nice planet you might say- WRONG!!

Awesome. Been itching for a big budget team league ever since the GCPL ended.

Not really sure about the 2v2, but we'll see.

Sixjax, Millenium & MYM over Liquid and Empire? Hmm.... Care to elaborate on the selection process?

Anywho, sounds great. Can't wait!

Oh yeah team league. and IdrA commentating! That has to be the biggest news.

Anyway the Proleague format seems nice but what killed GCPL was that there was too much mirror because at that time the map pool favours one race too much.

It's always PvP in JB. ZvZ in Scrap. There were at least 2 or 3 mirror out of 4 matches. Now with the much diverse map pool, the excess of mirror will be negated.

No liquid though? I wonder if that's because Huk and Jinro refuses to play on NA

Wasn't that before they had Nerchio and Happy though? Also Kas has clearly improved a lot since.

Oh, why did you decline the invitation Team Liquid? We are disappointed...

EG is without doubt a contender to be the best SC2 organization in the west. Damn, what a sexy tournament. Team Liquid and Evil Geniuses, our heroes.
I had a good night of sleep.
