SC2Improve Summer League 2013
Sponsored by ZOWIE GEAR.


Hello and a huge welcome to the SC2Improve Summer League 2013, the £400 league open to everybody ran by SC2Improve and sponsored by ZOWIE GEAR! SC2Improve is a community which aims to provide ways to help people enjoy the game by being a community in which players can find people to enjoy the game with through discussing strategies, playing games and partaking in events.

Most recently SC2Improve hosted the SC2Improve Winter League, a 3 month long tournament which saw over 250 participants battling for an £80 Prize Pool. Alongside this the SC2Improve Weekly tournaments have also been taking place.

If you want to learn more about SC2Improve and who we are you can visit our Team Liquid Thread here or even our website to see all of our events.

This is the second time we are running the SC2Improve Summer League - but we have come a long way since the first Summer League! To put things into perspective there were over four times as many players taking part in the Winter League than in the Summer League 2012 - and things are only going to be improving from there as the Summer League 2013 will have more qualifiers, more prizes and more amazing games of Starcraft 2!

SC2Improve Summer League Special Announcement!

Today is a big day for the SC2Improve Summer League as we have amazing news to share with you all. After almost three months of running the Summer League we find ourselves almost at the end of Qualifiers, with only two qualifiers remaining for players to earn points and try to squeeze into the top of the tables to make it into the RO16 of the main event. We've seen multiple great nights of games and many top level players already secure places into the RO16.

So far we consider the event to have been a huge success - but we're only just getting started as we are very proud to announce that the SC2Improve Summer League is now sponsored by ZOWIE GEAR.



This is a great moment for SC2Improve - acquiring our first even sponsorship for an event - and hopefully it is a strong sign of our continued growth and validity as a tournament provider. We cannot thank ZOWIE enough for this opportunity.

The sponsorship by ZOWIE GEAR will provide us with additional prizes to the £400 Prize Pool. They are as follows :

- 1st Place will receive a ZOWIE MiCO
- 2nd Place will receive a ZOWIE G-CM Black
- 3rd Place will receive a ZOWIE P-CM Blue
- a ZOWIE G-CM to be given away during the Finals of the SC2Improve Summer League

We hope you will all join us in thanking ZOWIE GEAR for their support of the SC2Improve Summer League and we hope you will all join us on Monday 12th August 1900 CEST for Qualifier #11 of the SC2Improve Summer League.
