Hello!
This is an important day for SCL! We are finally able to announce the teams for the inaugural season of SCL. Before I do that I'd like to thank all 28 teams who sent in their applications, it was a huge turnout and I'm glad we have so many top teams here.
Now we decided that we would take 24 teams into the qualifiers, and those 24 teams will battle it out till we have 12 teams left. Then those 12 teams will be divided up into 2 divisions of 6 depending on their points in the 2 randomly generated matches.
We thought that this would be the best and appropriate way to accommodate for the huge influx of applications from North American teams. But a 1 division league with 12 teams would be way to long of a season so 2 division looks like a good path for SCL. We also though its to premature to try and rank teams, even though some teams have more/better achievements it's still nearly impossible to place teams in a fair ranking.
Sadly, we could only pick 24 teams. We had 28 applications and we will not post the reasons (unless deemed necessary) of the 4 teams we chose not to accept. Some reason I will share were: lack of info on the application, incomplete applications, unprofessional applications. If any of the teams that don't appear on this list wish to know why they weren't accepted they can contact me or SCL|Moo here via PM.
Now onto the 24 teams! We would like to welcome the following teams to SCL Season 1:

Congratulation to all the teams selected! We hope to produce some fun games and hopefully the qualifiers go over smooth so we can get this league going!
Now I lightly touched on how the qualifiers would work, and I'm going to explain them further here. Basically were going to take all the teams and generate 2 matches for each team. The 12 teams with the highest amount of points by the end of the 2 week qualifier will be accepted into the league. In-case of a tie, we will have a week off after qualifiers to play tie breakers. To find your matches they will be posted here.
Things to know:
1. The rules are still being updated, I still have to go through them a few more times, but as of now they still stand. Also anything not listed does not mean you can abuse it.
2. We will not tolerate teams not acting up to our standards. Some basic stuff is emailing the league when your matches are scheduled, sending in lineups 30 mins before matches. If you have any questions contact the league, please do not hesitate to ask, we like questions.
3. For the qualifiers we will be using the rosters sent in with your applications as your team profiles, which will be finished by tonight. Once the qualifiers are over we will allow teams to make their profiles via our create team system. So if you have any roster additions you can either A) email the league at hello@wcleague.com or B) Post in your Team Profile and we will update the roster, you have until September 16th to send in your roster additions so they wont be barred.
4. Unlike other SC2 Leagues, we would like teams to keep replays. We chose TopReplays because of it being constantly updated and you upload multiple replays at once. Hopefully soon we will have the submit replay function in our website but for now this will do. I will make it even easier on teams, you can use our account!

5. All teams must schedule their Week 1 matches by September 17th, 11:59pm EST via league email (hello@wcleague.com). We will not tolerate late scheduling, or FF matches.
6. To maximize exposure we created a Facebook and Twitter for the league, so if you'd like to follow us we will post the happenings that are going on in with the league, matches that are getting shoutcasted ect ect.
Last but not least we are still looking for admins of all positions, we have a good amount of admins but I would still like more! We still need shoutcasters so if you would like to join our ranks, then drop us a line at the league email or PM me or SCL|Moo.
I promise that is all, this was quite a long post and I hope it was very informative if you have any question or think I left anything out just let me know!
Good luck to everyone!

GosuGamers will cover this into rankings.
