I'll update ICCUP as well. Thank you for getting back to me so quickly about posting on ICCUP and thank you for the editing job and getting the word out on ICCUP. It was very much appreciated.
I'll update TL and ICCUP and focus on those two.

This is a unique opportunity for those players who ordinarily wouldn't make it to the tournament round. Due to various events regarding the Starcraft foreigner scene and other good leagues like SC2GG going on, some of the outstanding players that you'd normally see won't be competing in this league. From what I can tell, there's currently only 3 of these outstanding players (that I recognize), Artosis / Xiaozi / Ranged, that have thus signed up so far. If I left your name out, forgive me, it is due to ignorance not malice. So it's very conceivable that C/C+ ranked players will actually make it into the tournament phase, perhaps even D+ ranked players. So you all actually have a very good chance at winning a prize. This is going to be a grueling two weeks. This is a "short" league, comparatively. So, I recommend preparing yourself psychologically. It will be intense. Because of the makeup of the players, through hard work (playing excessive games), it may even be possible to make it to the tournament phase with hard work and a modicum of skill. So in closing, good luck every one and good gaming!!!! | ||

Once the league begins, players may still sign up after the start date by joining Team ASL led by ICCUP user ID "messengerASL." Check out the rules below if you want to compete. I just wanted to share my own thoughts on the league. The turnout is good/solid, thanks to every one helping to take this off the ground including friends over at ICCUP, ICCUP.Del and YellowAnt for editing/posting news and troubleshooting bugs, respectively.

Generally, people either have all the free time in the world or they don't. (this is from my own observations). For those who do, they'll have enough time to play in both leagues, very easily. For those who do not have all the free time in the world, they'll just generally stick to one event due to committing already and time constraints. And since we came out during the later part of SC2GG's season, we won't be impacting them. SC2GG is far along enough now in their league so that our presence will not influence their league. IE Their top 16 are all B's now, which is not an easy feat, so their top players will STILL be playing in that league in their tournament. Due to ASL's unusual entry into the limelight, few top players will transition. And due to ASL's very carefully chosen opening start date, this league has become more like an auxiliary league/tournament for those players that may not necessarily ordinarily get the chance to make it into something big, so I just wanted to point this out. It's a very unique happenstance that it should work out like this, but fortunately, it has. So to D+/C/C+ players, here's your chance to make it. | ||

It supports an argument I was making with a friend/colleague over at Bearing Point-New York. I'm going to send him this link via email. I think he's responsible for jacking up my ad placement to $12/day on TL. It was $6/day and he mentioned earlier today he would try to outbid me to mess with me. And jumping from $6 to $12 is not strange at all in anyway even though it's suppose to be a progressive system where it goes up incrementally. ;-) Frank, see? Frank despises Mensa people. It's very humorous. Once we had a conversation online over something relating to our mutual project we were working on, and out of the blue, he goes into a diatribe about Mensa members, like CLEAR out of the blue. I think when he was younger, a bunch of Mensa people bullied him and stole his lunch money. ;-) Frank, if you decide to respond on here, don't use my real name. | ||

ASL II July 1st, 2009 Most likely, this will go by quarters from now on, the first of that month. IE: January 1st April 2nd (For obvious reasons, we're not going to start it on the 1st for April) July 1st October 1st We will be the early adopters for Starcraft 2. | ||

Its not like top foreigners have a packed schedule and limited practice time. I doubt they are spending all their hours practicing for SC2GG or any league. They will always have time to join another one as long as the match times do not conflict. As we've seen, guys can get to B in one day. I don't know how you can be so sure players won't join your league if its legit. And no matter how many players in the SC2GG Top 16 join yours, it won't impact either league. Foreign players aren't pros with proleague commitments and stuff, it'll work out, they will have time. "Due to ASL's unusual entry into the limelight, few players will transition." Can you stop writing things like this, are you trying to imitate the associated press or something? | ||
