am·bi·tion /æmˈbɪʃən/
–noun
1. an earnest desire for some type of achievement or distinction, as power, honor, fame, or wealth, and the willingness to strive for its attainment.
de·ter·mi·na·tion /dɪˌtɜrməˈneɪʃən/
–noun
2. the quality of being determined to do or achieve something; firmness of purpose
What is ambition? For TeamLiquid.net, our ambition is to be the best at what we do. Our determination takes us there. For years TL has been covering the Korean scene. We have brought the games, the news, and even the pros into your world. Now, with the dawn of a new era ahead of us, it is time for TL to take the next step; not just covering the StarLeagues, but running our own. With that in mind, TL.net proudly presents the TeamLiquid StarLeague.
Built on the determination of dozens of staff, the TL.net StarLeague is unlike anything that has come before.
The Process
- Anyone can play. No invites.
This is not about invitations to free money. This is about YOUR ambition to be the best. Nobody gets a free ride in the TSL. The first stage is a grueling qualification on iCCup.
Anyone outside Korea is welcome to play. For three weeks gamers will claw their way into the top 48. Those that make the top 16 can take a break while #17-48 duel it out in the first of two elimination rounds.
- This is a hard road to travel.
In the first round, Ladder Ranks #17-48 pair up and fight a pivotal bo3. Win and advance, lose and go home. It's that simple.
In the second round, Ladder Seeds #1-16 and the Round 1 Qualifiers play in Dual League style groups, with bo3 matches, and two of the four will advance to the big dance.
The lights go on and it's showtime. The TSL will be broadcast live through our streaming server. Games will be commentated by our TL commentating team. Interviews will be given, hype banners will be created, and articles will be written. In the end, a champion will be born. With a prize pool of over $10,000 the TSL is the largest and most prestigious tournament for foreigners outside of WCG.
Every staff member here on TL.net will be dedicated to bringing you a genuine StarLeague experience in every way possible. The TSL will be a spectacle in true OSL-fashion: a professional league run by the community and for the community, fueled by pure passion and love for StarCraft.
Registration
Registration is a simple process. Go to iCCup, create a new account, and join the team "TeamLiquid StarLeague". Only new accounts are acceptable. After that, start playing!
Registration commences... NOW!
For those that are rushing off to play at this very second, keep these rules in mind:
TSL Ladder RulesYou can feel free to play whoever you want (not just other TSL players). You can also reset as many times as you wish. Complaints will be handled through the normal iCCup complaint system. - You must use ICCUP's Anti-Hack Launcher for every game.
- Smurf accounts
You must create an account with your known ID in it. Do not take this request lightly. If we find out you have been smurfing in any way, you will be disqualified. If you are worried about which ID you should use or whether this rule applies to you, ask Manifesto via private message.
Since all accounts must be new, we recommend gamers use a TSL- tag with their name. Ex. TSL-Nony, TSL-FakeSteve. If you find someone else using your known name, PM Manifesto.
If you feel that not smurfing gives you an unfair disadvantage, you must appeal to Mani. We will then give you a predetermined smurf name. Failure to do this will lead to disqualification.
If you want to change names, you must inform us.
No exceptions.
- You MUST create a new account. No old accounts.
- No transferring of stats.
- No hacking or abusing. Again, all ladder games must be played with ICCUP's anti-hack launcher.
The question on everyone's mind is "will previous hackers or abusers be allowed to play?" There will be no outright ban on previous hackers or abusers.
However, we reserve the right to ask everyone that qualifies for the Top 48 to comply with safety checks, for example installing an external anti-hack program of our choice and/or recording an FPVOD. If you do not fully comply with ALL of these requests, you will be disqualified and we'll just take player #49. It is that simple.
- No multiple or shared accounts.
- No Korean IP addresses.
- No letting others play on your account.
- Do not play in non-TSL tournaments with your TSL account. The points gained will be deducted and you may even be penalized if you continue to play in them. Penalties for violating rules include disqualification, ban from all future TSLs/TL.net events, ban from TL.net, and death.
- This is regarding playing tournaments on ICCUP from your TSL account and gaining points for placement finishes.
This is prohibited. Do not play tournaments with your TSL account. The points gained will be deducted and you may even be penalized if you continue to play in them.
Once you register, you MUST join the TSL team here:
http://www.iccup.com/iccteamjoin/3428/
YOU MUST SEND A TEAM JOIN REQUEST IMMEDIATELY UPON REGISTERING.
You are allowed to play anyone and use any map on ICCUP, but if you want to play other TSL players, the default channel is "TSL Ladder" and if that becomes full, "TSL Ladder2" etc.
TeamLiquid would not be able to run this project without the help of the fine people at iCCup. We would like to thank them for allowing us to use their ladder. Please post your appreciation for their staff.
This is the largest project TL has ever initiated. The logistical scope is unprecedented. In the coming days, details on rules, broadcasting, prizes, and more will be released. We will be creating a separate forum for the TSL to answer all of your questions. For now, you can check out the pre-TSL interviews we conducted with various community members.
We hope you enjoy and take advantage of this opportunity. Good luck qualifying!

OMG OMG OMG This is why I love you guys, you never fail to deliver on anything. And this is the step that has put this fan site above and beyond anyone elses. This was so unexpected, but its why tl.net is number one. The wonderful things on site never fail to amaze me, but this has completely blown my mind. A round of applaus for the awesomeness that is team liquid. 
|
|
|
10,000 $ O_O where did we get that kind of funding? This is amazing.
|
OMFG. TL.NET HAS DELIVERED.

Ten thousand dollar prize. Holy. Mother. Of. God.

Crap. I need a new monitor. And Keyboard. And computer.

If Koreans get jealous you might want to accommodate them by making a separate entity that they can participate in.
BTW very nice; if this works out it will have lived up to the hype.

Great!!
Going to be awesome!
btw, where does all that money come from?
|
zomg this is exactly what I was hoping for. Although it sounds pretty hard. I mean will A- even be top 50?
edit: Yeah 10k is insane? Some poker sc player sponsor?
|
This hype was worth it. Thank you TL for making my life complete. Seriously this is just awesome, words fail me.
|
Wow, that's great. I'm in!
|
This won't really affect me that much since i'm without a doubt the worst SC player ever to have showed his face on TL, but it's still a cool thing and i'm looking forward to a lot of awesome games.
The prize = Holy shit!
|
|
|
|
|
Nice project! Looks exciting.
But the pretsl member interviews don't work =/ "Not enough rights"
EDIT: ok, they work now
|
Kool! Too bad I would lose my first match 
|
So great, so hard, so near to impossible for most of us! I LOVE IT! 
|
I guess this lives up to the hype at least half way - it's "just" (yet) another foreigner league, but with a very large prize pool, open qualifiers and live casting to make it potentially much more interesting than usual.
|
OMG !
so professionnal !
<3
|
Damn, I wish were good. I should have started practicing ten years ago.
|
Fuck. I just whopped out in Joy! Can't wait to see the top players battle it out!
Fucking A stuff guys you guys rock!
|
most ridiculous prize ive ever seen
|
this is gonna be BIG!!!!!!!!!!!
|
|
|
I love you guys <3
btw interviews aren't working, not enough rights
|
Nice project guys. Look forward to some memorable games !
Two thumbs up.

|
This announcement better not be sarcastic.
|

|
I'm a total noob, but i'm entering anyway.

Oh shit, there's even a TSL button on the right side of the site!
|
Omg that's totally awesome.

you should have put an x over korea
although the chinese will probably win. PJ?

For a second there, I thought you had to get top 16 on the iccup ladder. That would be insane.
|
|
|
sorry to ruin the streak but honestly it sounds just like another foreign tourney but with prizes bigger than usual..
Good luck with it.
|
wow if you dont mind me asking who is sponsoring that kind of rediculous amount of money?
|
Oh ok the top 48 is just vs other TSL people because overall iccup top 48 is crazy stuff... well thats at least a little bit easier lol.
|
No problem to start playing on the new account before it gets accepted, as long as its a new account?
|
what is the song in the trailer?

This tourney will have people very motivated because to even qualify you must play for hours(days) to get top 48. And the organization/administration will be amazing for sure.

Start accepting in team plz.

so what games will be broadcasted. Both group A & B, or will we only see B live? Thanks

Because it is a foreign starleague, otherwise korean ppl will own.

Koreans already have tons of leagues to compete in.
Who will be commentating? What will the maps be for the league itself? And will all be Bo3?

You mean there's only two leagues in Korea? I am sure there are many more that are also progamer only. And then there are tons of amateur leagues.
And you are not a progamer because you aren't skilled enough. Can't be helped.
It would be cool to have Artosis and Tasteless commentate. Of course both have other obligations already. TSL is competition for Ascension and GSI. But if they did it would be a good example for gretech to see how well they work together, or not.
[edit]
Lol, Artosis is playing of course.

This is pretty amazing :D Maybe I'll reinstall and try

This

Good bye IRL.

Yes, there are other leagues I suppose. I'm just saying there are no leagues in Korea that cater to the needs of "non-skilled" players, like me. An opportunity to participate in a Star League where "anyone is allowed" (this one) would be golden. I obviously wouldn't expect to win, but it would be a good experience rather than playing public on Hamachi, Bnet or with the same friends all the time.
Ah, well. As you said, it can't be helped.

games on maps, other than blue storm, troy and zodiac are not accepted? did i get this right?

how long does it take to get on the team list ?

Those are the maps for the tournament style part. All iccup games count, just use AH and make sure you have a new non-smurf account. That's my understanding atleast.
|
There's one problem with the iccup registering thing. The more you play the less good you have to be to reach the top because of how iccup works, sadly.

Wait, so why no Koreans?
There is already far more money for Brood War in Korea than in the rest of the world combined.
Speaking for myself (not for the guys working on this), I see this as a way to support and enhance the foreign Brood War scene, to bring it a little bit closer to the BW haven that is Korea.
It's also a way of giving something back to the foreign BW community: TLnet would not be this great if it wasn't for the large, mainly-non-Korean community that supports it. Of course, there are a number of Koreans who do a lot of this site as well, and I hope they'll understand why TSL is going to be for foreigners only. (Maybe some of our Korean members can get exceptions and be allowed to play? I dunno. By the way, I believe Rekrul is still in Korea, so strictly-speaking the rules ban him too .)
Basically, it's for all the same reasons that the previous TLTours had final tournaments for non-Koreans only.

This looks like an immense idea. Especially with the professional commentating

Finally foreigners can show off somewhere other than WCG. I can't believe you guys are doing this, I can't imagine the hard work it has taken and will take as well as that much money for the prize. Anyways, I'm really excited to see the progress and commend you for working on such a big project.

Holy smokes! I havent played even on Bnet for years! And Ive never tried Iccup lol maybe its time to start playing again haha. GJ TL. Even though I'm no good just seeing this got me real excited!

I ORGASMED MULTIPLE TIMES.
I love you guys so much.
But damn, you guys went from giving out mousepads to 5000 dollars? Where the hell did you get the funding for that?
Do you guys have any plans to have 2v2s included in this? Maybe in season 2?
The fact that it's going to be live broadcast with english commentating, and I don't have to stay up until 3 in the morning to watch it (like the GSI) means this is EPIC WIN
|
This is just too awesome, but it's too bad I can't play in it
|
If they ever tell my story let them say that I walked with giants. Men rise and fall like the winter wheat, but these names will never die. Let them say I lived in the time of Boxer, Emperor of Terran. Let them say I lived in the time of savior, Maestro of Zerg. Let them say I lived in the time of reach, Hero Protoss. Let them say I lived in the time of TSL.
|
This helps the community in so many ways. First of all it gives everyone not in Korea a chance to participate in a league, and if the fail to qualify, follow it.
I would also expect this to be an incentive for foreign top players to continue play, given as they will have a chance to acquire some fame and money.
And who knows, it may be the stepping stone for something even greater? Whatever happens, best of luck to the TL staff and thanks for putting in the effort for us SC fans out here.

From where did you get 5000 $ ? Makes no sense whatsoever, did some Korean guy just donate it to you? lol

Btw, how does the ladder work?, can players just play as many games as they want till the
end-date?
Seems a bit unfair since players that are worse than others but play more advance to grp stages just beacuse they played more games and not bc they are better?
Or am i missing something ?

Just for those asking about why Koreans aren't allowed to play, I think there are multiple reasons from the staff side. The two biggest ones are that this is a tournament aimed specifically at the foreign scene, and that Koreans can have progamers play for them, which would give them an unfair advantage.
This starleague is aimed specifically for you guys. It's unfortunate that our Korean fans can't play with, but it's necessary.

Or am i missing something ? why should someone who is good but not willing to stay active be able to play the final tournament? besides at high ranks iccup you have to have more wins than losses to go up in rank, so players who play 400 games a week won't be able to pass a certain area just through mass gaming
|
maybe you could create a channel on iccup too like op TSL- or something
|
Oh my God. What horrible timing for me to have wrist surgery
I'm going to play anyway.... how the fuck? 5,000 dollarbucks? this is INSANE
|
It's not unfair. But it does allow somewhat lesser players who play more than some good players to score more ladder points. But of course those good players have the same oppertunity to play a lot.

I think GosuGamers just got pwned.

Is Draco coming back for this?, he better be.. just walk in and steal the 1st place, would be sick!
|
5000€ would be even more cool
jk, great news but videocast is a must

Plz tell us where the f*** you got all that money from!

Why are ppl accepted without TSL- tag is that allowed?? i can see even someone transfered stats :o

TSL tags are not required, but recommended. Any cases of transferred stats will be logged and dealt with.

It'll be okay if I join and mass game and lose to everyone right? I know people might not play me since they won't gain many points, but is being a bad player while playing in qualifiers for TSL considered BM? Perhaps in the future it will pay off.
|
THIS IS HUGE !!! Go TL.net !
Draco has just won a LAN in Poland today, I hope he will see this fuckin awesome shit and play to be the top 1 !

I'm sure being awful isn't BM. Play to your hearts content and who knows maybe you'll get good enough to start winning and gain a couple ranks and feel good inside.

This is a community event, and half the purpose of this is to get everyone involved and playing. I'm very bad at playing, but I'll do my best to get a few wins as well! Maybe sneak one off of Nony, otherwise I'll just mass vs yubee... :D

Try registering the account on the server, as if you were making a new account on BNET.

damn..too bad I still get "Unable to join the selected game." on 90% of my join game attempts.. nobody on iccup forum could help me way back when I posted about it before
Anyone know what causes this?
ive forwarded port 6112, chaoslauncher didnt change the port, firewall off, even enabled DMZ.
what's even more weird is my brother who plays iccup a lot and shares my connection never gets this message

Is Kespa going to be counting this in their ratings?

Great idea, unfortunatly the whole iccup site seems fucked up beyond all recognition to me.
Cant log on to my old account, cant request a new password, cant register a new acount, cant do anything.
Anyone else getting this?

If I understand correctly:
Both of you need to register on iccup.com. You're not allowed to register on through the server on starcraft, like bnet, but you must create an account on iccup.com.

The team i believe, otherwise the banning of Korean IPs would be pretty much useless as there's like 1% of the Non-korean players who can reach top 48 on the entire ladder.

YES! This will be awesome to watch. If only years ago I had spent my time being a starcraft god, not a useless soldat god. don't ever ever ever become one of the best people in the world at a game that doesn't have prize money, you'll regret the amount of time you spent on it later.
Goddammit, now I wish I could get the damn stupid antihack to work now just so I could play a little get my ass kicked but it'd be fun anyway.

Bullshit, I'm the worst at SC. I say we have a showdown to prove our lack of skills. I don't have a terran ball, I have a terran amorphous blob. It moves like an inchworm: *stretch out* *unstretch* *stretch out*. My l33t alabama micro lays spidermines too close to my siege tanks just in time for a dt to run through and kill them all and then somehow my SCVs die too just for the lulz. In math terms, I'm 1/Flash.

Do we have to make an account with our TL account name in it?
Like, TSL-MyStiC_Chaos
O_o
Or can we be named whatever?
|
I hope TL SL will succeed and eclipse other tournaments. There is already bunch of BW tournaments, but how will TL stand out?
I think TL SL league really needs Klazart. From what I've seen so far, he is the only person that has the voice for commentating AND plays Starcraft. I know his comments aren't always right too. However, commentators doesn't have to be the most knowledgable, they just have to sound exciting for people who aren't normally interested in BW. Ex. OSL & MSL.

Use your TL account name.

"and then somehow my SCVs die too just for the lulz. In math terms, I'm 1/Flash."

TEAMLIQUID - get Klazart, Moletrap AND/OR Diggity to comment the games, it would be bring the quality up even higher with really good commentators.
Make it happen, i'm sure they would be love to help.

TSL-MyStiC should be fine as long as it's not already taken. Any name that's recognizably 'yours' should be ok.

No, get commentators whit some idea of when they are talking about. Klazart, Moletrap AND/OR Diggity simply don't understand SC enough to comment serious event.

You guys really need to get Klaz, Mole and Diggity. I know there's some juvenile beef but those guys truly are good commentators they just know how to spice up a game.

No point to argue vs you since you obviously don't like these guys, so even if they knew what they are talking about ( which they do ), you would still qq about them.
Please link me a video to any english commentator that is better than these besides Tasteless.
Please do.
Its not all about who knows the MOST about the game, it's about being able to get into the game, giving emotion, about having a good voice, being able to recapture alot of things going on at once etc etc, the list is endless.
So again, please prove me wrong and find a better commentator.

How is banning Koreans because they'd be on top any different from Hitler discriminating against the Jews for being so rich and successful. Bad comparison I know, but similar idea and I was too lazy to think of a less extreme example.

All good players save replays! :D

rofl this is freaking awesome

ya'know, I wasn't as thrilled about Ambition as many people here at teamliquid are, mainly because I suck at starcraft and would never make it past my first match haha. But after reading the ecstatic responses and how happy everyone is and how much more of a community we seem to be, I think I'm just as excited as everyone else now. Thanks TL and staff!

Almost too nice to be true.
Looking forward for this big event. It's a pity I am just too noob for it .

and btw, we already have an event where koreans are included. its called iccup, and they play in the end of season tournement to my knowledge O_O

Well done!

I dont think I'll participate in this since I know there are too many good people playing in this x)
Good luck to all participants!
I'll definitely follow this

A job well done gentlement, kudos for it.

very impressive, guys. like someone else said earlier in the thread, its a shame i dont really play anymore

This would be insignificant but for the fact that I was never inspired to play a ladder (never played WGT, PGT, ICCup, or more than 100 or so actually competitive games on B.net) until now.

Thank you TL for this opportunity! After a 6 year break I'm not that good at SC but I will participate. Even if I lose now, I will learn so that I may win next time

I actually dont like klazart very much when he comments. Hes great when it comes to in game analysis but his excitement during the battles makes his words mash together and it becomes difficult to follow whats going on in the battle and what Klazart is excitedly trying to say. He does a great job commenting during the lulls tho.

Oh man i so wish i was able to play bw now.

So what prevents a player from putting up the live broadcast stream during a game and cheating? How big is the delay?

we can set the delay for something like 10 minutes, or an equally unmanageable amount of time

Hehe, I already see some familar names from TLA and Liquibition in the top

Haha yeah same here except i'm 0-7. For some reason I just can't stop...
|
It's smashing time.
Mondragon, Nony, Skew, and all you other "gosus", get out the lube.
You're going down hard.
|
I am still amazed that this idea began 20 days ago. I mean to get 10 grand together in 20 days for a foreign starcraft tournament... damn.
Nice job.
|
I hate to be a nitpicker, but...
Under "the process"
Those that make the top 16 can take a break while #17-48 dual it out in the first of two elimination rounds.
It's duel, not dual. Tricky Homonyms.
I'm really looking forward to this. Too bad I'm gearing up for the hardest quarter of my life.

|
|
Wow. This could be amazing. All you need is some good commentators, and some way of eliminating abuse, and it should be a crazy success. Good Luck. For commentating, I suggest Day.
Thanks TL!!

I hope some new faces appear in the foreign scene wtih this, though. Im really tired with the same old media members, ToT( and excello.

Hmm, it seems I can't login to ICCUP. I'll try tommorow morning I guess.
|
|
|
|
|
For all of you who are having trouble logging into ICCUP:
once you fill out your username and password, instead of pressing the enter key, try actually clicking the enter button right under the password box.
that should work.
|
WOW
Lived up to all expectations.
|
niceness.
btw... erm... can people who:
1) are not asian
2) are not korean citizens
3) suck at starcraft anyway
be exempt from the "anyone outside of korea" rule? ^^
|
i think the prize pool adds up to 10,050
and top16 inside the team TSL ladder 1v1 standings?
top17-48 inside the team TSL ladder 1v1 standings?
Or is this overall in regular ICCup 1v1 ladder standings with the koreans.
I know you can play anyone either in team or outside.
I see the Chinese have arrived at TSL RushGooN, fengzi, etc.
|
lol quite some peopel typed TLS instead of TSL, including me...

No, top 48 from TSL team
Yep
Yep

TSL S1 will end in 2 months, just curious when approx. will the next season start?
And what about top3 seeded players, then only 13 players will qualify from group stages to TSL next season?
Great job TL, im sure that if anyone its TL that can make great Starleague. Good luck in everything and for everyone participating!
|
hmm, i will reserve judgement on this for now. too much things can go wrong, but we'll see

omg sweeetttttt, im totally in, although I have no chance at all.

This is just brilliant. I wish I had spent years playing Starcraft instead of wasting my time with overrated things such as studies, my job, a social life, etc...
Seriously, I can't wait to watch these games.

So a quick question popped into my mind. What if you're a Korean, who's lived in Korea all his life, but has just moved out side of Korea in the past month or so... I mean come on.
But other than that, I think I'll attempt to try this out. I'm so rusty now though I'll probably be lucky to make it to the top 1000.

As far as I know, current people responsible for the team are being very informative and PMing with the reason to anyone who is not qualified for the team and anyone who is removed from the team. If you havn't gotten anything, it might just be an issue with a backlog of people registered to the team and your application is pending and should be accepted as soon as possible.

Damn just when the iccup ladder started to be fine after the reset, with everyone playing at their real level, TL released a new league.
Now loads of good players started to crush D/D+ players like me... this is just boring.
Well gl to all players and plz, level fast to higher ranks

it seems like the news spreaded over the chinese bw sites - Legend/fengzi/Rushgoon are playing :D

Your IP is not from Korea if you moved out, so how can this affect you?

He said he was living in korea 1 month ago or so. So obviously his ip isn't the same now. He was jsut answering to semioldguy that there's ppl that just left korea, nothing more

Does that mean we can get some good replay packs from these good gamers playing in it? HIT'EM UP!!!! :D

Sooooooo many big names it's insane, looks like Draco decided to join now as well.
This is gonna be so awesome!
|
I wonder if anyone is faking being a big name though... like yesterday I did a ctrl f and there were like three castros signed up.
|
Only time will tell, there are probably a couple of fakes in there but we'll know for sure once they've played a couple of games.
|
Just a bit of a problem. The banner and the video include Korea on the world map. This should be edited out to make it more accurate.
|
The winner can play against the winners of the OSL, GSL and MSL so Koreans no longer need to whine about that.
|
At first I thought this was anyones game but then I saw Mondragon and that wholde gang of Pro's.
But then its not really about winning money, more like taking a screenshot of the ranking at the end of the first elimination and then always refer to it when calling people at TL.net noobs ^^.

I now need new keyboard..not because I am going to play in this, but becasue I just came all over the one I have now When i saw this. A M A Z I N G ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

We should have banned any well-known gamer..

True, lol!
Let's make this a Western League: North America and Europe only!
When we are too weak to compete, we reduce the competition, hehe!

hmm, i have a gut feeling that the sponsor is Blizzard for some reason
|
Great to hear good news. this will get some inactives back gaming. since there is so much prize money i can guarantee there will be guys using hacks in an attempt to win it.
I feel for the chinese players..
|
Huge thing. I'm loving it. Will follow the qualifiers for sure.

just curious why arnt the koreans allowed? i mean, who here doesnt wanna get raped by boxer's manly marines?

They have tons of opportunities to play tournaments with prize pools in Korea. It's the non-Koreans that have very limited options for tournament play, so this is meant to alleviate that shortage.

Oh, lol
I've entered iCCup to play a lil, but I've played with AH off (3 wins 1 lose)
I wont even notice this, but I had +100 pts instead +130, so I've made compliants. They were denied of course.
I was 100% sure I had AH on (coz I remember the PGT system, when you have it off - you can't create game rooms)
Should I reset my account?
|
Today i checkd TSl standings and i saw there soo and oldy both being banned before for hacking(whit proof)Why this players are allowed to play in league whit such a big prize money?This is why sc is going down,people who gets cought on hacking,next day play in a league when 1st take 5k$ to home.
SAD.
|
It wasn't an easy decision for us, but it's the only objective choice. We'll do everything in our power to ensure that no one cheats in the TSL.
Anyone caught cheating in the ladder or tournament will be at the very least disqualified, banned from future events, and banned from TL.

there's an ]S.W[-P.J- (or something like that). He used to be ok, though I doubt he could go 13:0 so probably isn't him, but it's a possibility.
Also I should be 8:0 but it says 4:0, I dunno if there's some bugs or if it just takes ages to update or what :O

Other than that, seems pretty cool! Gogo TL!

you guys are injecting life into the non-korean community first TLPD and now this, you guys are too great !
