I'm not quite sure whether the topic was already discussed here, but as I couldn't find a topic about it I'd like to let you guys know that there'll be a new 1on1 league with most of Europe's best payers and a prizepool of 6.000$ : the Black Dragon League
Participants of the Black Dragon League (Season 1) Goody, DeMuslim, BratOK, White-Ra, Socke, Mana, Dimaga, Abver, LaLush, Kas, Satiini, Strelok[, Naama, Naniwa, elfi
Update 1: Kas qualified for the Black Dragon League, winning the first qualification tournament Update 2: Satiini qualified for the Black Dragon League, winning the second tournament Update 3: With Strelok, another Terran-Player qualified by winning one of the qualification tournaments Update 4: Due to personal reasons TLO declined the invitation for the BDL. It's not decided yet how his spot will be filled Update 5: Naniwa won the fourth qualification tournament Update 6: Naama was able to defeat Fury and Delphi in Best-of-5 matches and therefore also secures himself a spot in the Black Dragon League Update 7: Nightend turned out to be the superior player, facing Paranoid and Lucifron in the second group. As a result the protoss-player will also be a participant of the first season of the BDL
First week of january. Until the the rest of the players will be determined by a couple of qualification tournaments.
Hm... the title of the thread is kinda wrong btw. The league itself won't be exclusively european. Within the second season there'll probably also a couple of other continent's players be able to participate.
Have all the invitees accepted? Really excited to see more games from BratOK.
I think the invite list was chosen extremely well. I except to see Tarson, Hasuobs, and Darkforce qualify in the coming weeks. Kas was another obvious one as well. Glad to see he qualified.
Well if you want to criticise my stream then you should probably adress this in my livestream-thread (link) as this is definitely the wrong topic for doing so.
Morrow didn't want to participate in the league as doesn't feel strong enough to compete at the moment. He might enter one of the qualification tournaments though.
Cheers, Khaldor
@Corwin: all expect TheLittleOne already accepted the invite. TLO didn't respond yet.

Just as a heads up, you're incredibly hard to understand. In answer to your question, SjoW is a well known player on Dignitas. He does very well in the weekly tournaments that Europe seems to have a lot of.
Nice lineup! A little tip for the website though: I couldn't find the term "Starcraft 2" anywhere on the frontpage. Not only does this make it unclear what the website is about for people that just randomly stumble upon it, but it will also make it so that the website won't really show up on Google for the correct search-terms.
I think he was asking "where" and not "who" Sjow is. Sjow was planning to go to Korea in order to participate in the GSL. We talked about whether it'd be possible for him to attend the schedule of the league and as he was not sure about it we didn't invite him directly.
His plans changed though and he will attend the qualifiers in order to participate in the league. He already took part in the last tournament but was eliminated by Naama.
I saw in the rules that the higher ranked player starts vetoing, and then it alternates. I'm pretty sure the player vetoing last has the advantage here. Was this intended?

Could you please read the other answers bevor you post? The topic Sjow has already been adressed. As far as I know Sjow never actually went to korea but is still in Europe and will stay in Europe as well.

You could disagree with a lot of the choices there, but I don't think that's really appropriate as it's their choice who to invite and who not - and you can qualify if you want to.
MadFrog finished first in the Nordic EPS (regular season) and is furthermore performing quite well lately. DarkForce will get his chances throughout the qualification tournaments. Within the last tournament he had to succumb to Strelok.

Actually you could if it's justified. I'm kinda tired of the argument that you can't invite too many players of one nation. Of course we try to spread the invites somewhat but there's no rule why one couldn't.

Madfrog has been owning it up on ladder, and coupled with finishing first in the EPS I dont see anything weird about giving him an invite.
He is a legend in wc3 and have a pretty big fan base so its actually smart of them to invite him. Also he plays zerg alot different from everyone else, and im really looking forward to seeing if he can own it up in this league.

Just makes me laugh because his whines are so verbose (and I thought he was French). And yes BM makes SC2 (or any other sport/esport) more interesting from an entertainment standpoint.

I only saw Darkforce doing really well in Go4Sc2 competitions lately with Dimaga and TLO going to different tournaments around the world. Darkforce was almost the only zerg worth mentioning.
Of course I might be wrong :D Anyway, I hope to see him qualify.
Also I hope Madfrog manages to show us why he was invited. The creative play I expect from TLO (and he did show some of that on MLG and now I want to see more).
It's not quite certain that TLO will actually participate. He's thinking about it right now but he's struggeling with the idea of committing himself to play a league as he's pretty busy. We'll let you know as soon as he's decided on the topic.
Sorry if I missed mention of it somewhere, I did briefly read all the posts so far but didn't notice anything.
Will the league have multiple regular streamers once it gets going or is that yet to be determined? It would be nice to have multiple casters to choose from, even if it's just replay casting.
Streamers can apply to be listed on the page in order to stream the league later on. As the matches are supposedly quite interesting for most StarCraft II players I guess there will be a couple of streams available as soon as the league started
We are also proud to announce our second qualifier scheduled Friday 19th, November 17:00 o’clock CET. We will once again invite 32 players from all over Europe to compete for another slot of the Black Dragon League.
The new Qualifier will be hold this friday. GL& HF to all participants.
damn.. there are so many good players are on the list. i wish morrow can qualify in this event so that the can show us how far he can go with zerg.. and hopefully these players also.. draco,tarson,strelok,cloud and sjow..
Well it's not necessarily a bad thing, is it? At least this way you get to see quite a lot of good games :D The qualifier tomorrow should be pretty interesting. Looking forward to it myself, gonna be tons of good games!
The should get an English language streamer for this ASAP. Because this qualifier has a better lineup than all the weekly tournaments that are watched by thousands.
And I want to emphasize how impressed I am by the organisizers regarding their invites for this qualifier. That looks almost perfect!
Satiini made it in the final against Lucifron, i think that was unexpected. The next qualifier will hold December, 4th. Looking forward for an awesome qualifier.
bumping this thread a bit, since there will be another qualification round (round #3) on thursday december 2nd at 6pm CET (12pm EST). it shall be casted by ragequit.tv so i hope some of you tune into that for some high level euro play
The third tournament will start on thursday at 18:00 CET. Here are some of the players participating in this week's qualifier: http://www.dragon-league.com/en/news/1332

maybe you could update the OP with the upcoming event, so it gets a bit more attention

Are you talking about qualifier 3? Demuslim already has a direct invite so he won't be in any of the qualifier rounds. See the OP for the list of invited players.
Has it been confirmed yet if TLO will be participating?
It's good that there were non-terran players directly invited, cause by the look of things these qualifiers will be pretty much a terran sausage fest By all means, i don't consider 3 tournaments to be a definitive source for conclusions, but seeing TTTP, TTTP and TTTZ semi-finals and TvT finals all round, i personally can't help but ask myself "Why are there still people saying that post-patch zerg is so difficult to play against?".

I don't think this is the best thread to discuss that. To all that tourney flamebating there is only one answer: the number of terran players is larger, hence they win more in absolute numbers.
P.S. Abver could do much better but it seems that he was quite tired after the stream + gamesvs kas. Although his play in the game on blistering was quite neat: thinnest defense i've seen tbh...
Does the winner get the title Black Dragon ? Or is it that they're all Black Dragons battling it out to see who is the best Black Dragon? I vote for the former.
Naama have been dominating so far every match 2-0 :|. He is really a upcoming star, although you can already call him a star after winning dreamhack and beating oGsTop.
i still bet on strelok in the finals. if naama wins i owe endrey a beer though :D good bet going there, hope i can order a beer via amazon :D make sure to watch the final tomorrow 6pm CET 12pm EST

I would very much recommend to give the 3rd zerg spot to Morrow. He has improved a lot lately and will propably even more. Just look at the final games of the last go4sc2 cup he played against Strelok. Imo he is already the second best zerg in europe.
We announced the last chance qualifier groupstages. We will have three groups with three players each. The first of every group will attend to the BDL. All matches will be played in a best of five series.

MaDFroG is a very skilled player with many fans. He just needs more time to finally breakthrough.

If you're only measuring criteria is playing strength, or SC2 aichevements then there is quite a few players who's more "qualified" than Madfrog. But consider this:
1. He has a large following since his WC3 days and will therefore attract a larger audience. 2. His not-so-solid, aggressive playstyle is popular, granting him more fans. 3. SK Gaming probably has a good manager to help him get all these invites(pure speculation). 4. In the few tournaments he participates in, he has also performed quite decently. One example is ESP Nordic were he defeated Naama the same weekend Naama won DreamHack.
last qualification group is going to be played tomorrow evening (Tuesday, Dec 21 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)). after that one the actual league play days will commence in the first week of january.

abver is good player and took games from many top players. Personally i saw him winning hasuobs, bratok, kas and demuslim when he streamed his games.
Problem is he sometimes intentionally plays horribly, chooses the worst maps for his race, etc. I don't know what was the reason of his bad play today but it happens to everyone from time to time, huh? ;|

In order to replace TLO with another zerg player we decided to give you the best zerg players of the qualification tournaments to choose from. Each of these players was at least able to reach round 3 in one of the tournaments and therefore deserves his chance to participate in the first season of the Black Dragon League:
Khaldor (ger), drooL(eng) and Martijn (eng) starting with Strelok vs. White-Ra and we rescheduled Socke vs. LaLuSh to 09:00PM, so they are able to stream them too.
We also add a feature to the BDL Homepage. You are now able to see who will stream the games in the matchticker:
Goody's playstyle is so funny too watch. He just builds a giant blob of mechshit in each matchup and slowly rolls through the battlefield like a german panzer division in russia before the winter came. Hilarious, really.
Tank-battles certainly are not Demuslims strength. But Goody also looked quite decent macro-wise. Imo Demuslim focusses to much on early game pressure.

before the T-34 spam came in! xD
Well, mass tank\goliath and dropships was the main theme in BW TvT. In SC2 it suits Goody's low APM quite well for now.
Also i can't understand why Demuslim decided to go for mech as well: should have showed some hyper aggressive play he is famous for (still love him though).

Pretty impressive Tomorrow Abver will face White-Ra at 6pm CET. There will once again be a stream: http://www.mystarcraft.de/de/live/khaldor (stream will be in german, I hope you'll enjoy it anyways but I assume there will be english ones as well).
There were a couple of streams available. You can check out the BDL page if you want to watch the games The streams are always listed in the match details as well as on the page itself.

Brutal first game from Kas, that first blueflame harass just devastated bratok's early economy and then the constant pressure never really let bratok establish himself in the game again.
I swear I've not seen a blueflame tech choice fail to do massive damage in absolutely ages, all it takes is the opponent being a couple of seconds too late in reacting and all their workers get charred xD

Think so, if you view the match information pages (click off the match ticker or w/e) on the BDL site they have replays linked from there. I'm not going to check them all but I presume it's the case for every match ^^
Socke is falling back lately ... barely survived the IEM group and then lost 0-3 to Tarson. I think he isn't on the level of White-Ra, Naniwa and Mana anymore.
I hope he will improve again, because he was my favorite foreign player some time ago.
That was an impressive series from Demu, just constantly had Socke on the backfoot with his aggression and shutdown any expo's he tried to take. If he keeps playing like that I'll be really excited to see him in Korea hehe

I am much less excited to see european players in Korea than most. Because it basically means that you will see very few games from them. Maybe 2-4 games a month if we are unlucky. Just look at TLO, what we have seen from him while he was in Korea and how much more of his play we see now.

Its over. Abver won 2:1. After building a hatch in Manas base failed he build another one in Manas natural and attacked the wall-in with spine crawlers. That proxy hatch was later destroyed by Manas colossi, but Abver had build enough mutas to crush Manas forces and take the win. Really weird game, worth loading the replay.
wednesday will be the matchday of death and doom btw :D something like 5 ultra-high-level matches. RQTV will be covering all the dimaga matches and some more after so make sure to tune in
That does look like a beer-worthy evening of SC2, had no idea it was going to be quite that stacked actually. Looks like Dimaga is having to play catch up on a few missed games heh, he's started to make more finals again recently right? Should be awesome.
Hi, love your competition with these fantastic players and the ragequit steam. Just want to ask the ragequit guys if its possible to have an overlay with players, race etc. ? Would be nice if you turn in later.

Nani ignored Dimaga as Dimaga was teasing/trolling him a bit. I can't see how that qualifies him as a "scum bm kiddie". Seen bm from Nani, but in this situation he was hardly "taking it out at Dimaga". He wasn't being all.. well, being all Naniwa.

Actually, for once it wasnt really at naniwas fault. He said gg and left. Dimaga then proceeded to say "Naniwa mannered as always " Which was really uncalled for. I'm thinking since Naniwa has been going off and bad mouthing players and has a really bad reputation, players are just trolling him at this point, hoping to set him off.

I agree, Dimaga was trolling Naniwa after winning the first set. Either only for teasing/fun or for trying to make Nani tilt.

glad you guys enjoyed the stream (from what i've seen here). would've loved some more epic games but good stuff anyways. would say the nani-dima game 2 on LT was the highlight really awesome play by naniwa!

Well he is top of the leader board of this league, only player currently 4-0 and this league is only missing sjow & tlo from the top europeans
edit: Kas is not there yet. The match is postponed and Elfi vs. Satiini is played first. Atm they are just doing a 2v2 while waiting on the game to start.
You can find all available livestreams under the several matches as well as in the Livestream section on the BDL Page. The livestream are available 15 minutes before the match starts.

Usually it's on calender, but for some reason it isn't there right now. Looking forward for tonight! Might be the best casting combo ever.
Day9 AND Khaldor ... wow. I was pretty surprised when I turned on the stream, only dimly remembering Khaldor saying something about Day9 being in the studio some time. Cool!
WhiteRa's macro seems a bit off lately, see him floating 1k mins quite a lot...not that it matters when you're goddamn WhiteRa and can run people ragged regardless =)

Yeah he can play a little sloppy at times. I think it takes really important games to get him fired up.

No, the reason why he is in Germany is the IEM World Finals (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=188106) which he is casting. He just arrived a bit earlier and is in Berlin at the moment. And obviously he payed a visit to Khaldor to cast some games of the BDL.
German Fastfood is better in general (not german, but the chains in germany^^) and sean hit it on the spot. because they seem fresher and the ingredients taste better (:
This is great, but I'm afraid a lot of people is missing it because it was kind of unannounced. Khaldor and Day9 are having a good time, too bad Day9 is tired but we have seen him in way worse condition (like in the end of the king of the beta)

Looked like Dimaga had the perfect balance between Roach Hydra Corruptor composition . Last time i saw him play vs White - ra he had like 20 corrupters and White-ra didn't even have so many void rays or colossus end up rolling him on the ground .

I loved it when Day9 saw Khaldor opening a bottle with his phone. He acted like it was the weirdest thing in the world :D
In Denmark you will always, in an average group of people, have at least one guy who can open a bottle of beer with ANYTHING. So a phone doesn't seem all that weird anymore.

haha the same in germany :D looked like day9 had seen a monster opening a bottle :D:D
Denmark, Germany ... and I'll have to add Bulgaria - guess it's an European thing, lol. The desk in my dorm has loads of strange scratches on the edges, and I've also broken a door handle (a sharp one) to open a bottle of wine - it worked wonderfully :D
Wow that is pretty irritating. Day9 is supported by the same viewers he bails on because hes "sleepy". You're a damn gamer, sleepy is a normal thing. Don't turn into a little princess, Day9.
Also the guy at Assembly did the exact same thing and got TONS of flack for it.

This was more like a guest appearance, not really the same thing.
Poor day[9] Jetlag can be really bad, especially when flying west to east, so it's cool with me that he took off.
I also don't mind you casting in english, your english is quite good and I think that a lot of german gamers are able to understand it. I'm german myself and I wouldn't have a problem with you casting more in english.

wow dude he is jet lagged. That is different from normal "sleepy". He also did a few dailies and worked on his school stuff.
And this BDL is not what he came for. If day9 bailed out on the viewers for IEM World Championship then for sure he will get a lot of flak. Maven bailed on the very thing he was there for.
Day9 also didn't rage quit in front of the whole live viewers shouting " THIS IS BULLSHIT".

Artosis fell sick and was unable to cast earlier today ( and probably tomorrow as well) no?
It will be such a letdown if day9 got sick because he does not get enough rest and can't cast IEM because he overexert himself casting BDL as a GUEST
Well, damn. Being at work and missing fun things like this kind of sucks. Anyone know if these will be up as VoDs later? I've love to both see the games and watch Khaldor casting with Day9.

Yea, I feel bad for Lalush :[ Hes such a good fucking player too. Shakuras game I think could go either way but the metal game it really seemed like he was ahead all game. Even had really nice fungals on the VR/stalker to keep his broods alive. But... did not matter at all :[
Very painful. Thank you lalush, for being a total boss. Also the afk at the end was awesome. I lol'd.
Switched to broods too fast. He was way ahead and had his chance to win it for quite a period, but he let the death ball form. I hate when zergs bitch about it when they could "just go fucking kill him." afk was bm as hell imo

why dont you reserve your precious metals opinion for battle.net forums? How complicated it is to comprehend that having an invincible combination of units(especially whilst coming from behind) is the very definition of imbalance?

Haha, yeah, because a unit comp it takes 20 minutes to get is completely stable to get to. If you seriously think lalush was right in holding off attacking so long, morphing his corruptors to broods, and attacking up a heavily fortified ramp -- lol.

is it like your new main occupation to shittalk amazingly well respected community characters? l2manner imo.
Damn it, there was no mention of Kas vs Nani in the Calendar on TL so I completely missed it.
Seems like Kas handed Nani his first loss of the league though with a 2-1 victory, doesn't do much for the current standings, but does mean a win for Socke in his next match will see him finally level with Nani at the #1 position
Why are such people even allowed to play in "professional" leagues. Why do such people get attention and the opportunity to get casted, sponsored and supported. It's beyond me, and it's a shame for the community as a whole.

These things really disappoint me.
I actually think the same. BDL has a penalty system. I think if you get penalty points, some of your prize money goes to the opponents. Its time to put this to use imo.
in an interview in swedish lalush seemed like a shy nerd, a true internet warrrior who can't control himself, I have no idea why he is allowed into tournaments..
Why is lalush even invited in event ? He's not that good (there are plenty of better players in Europe) and really BM besides his BM isn't even funny, insulting other players is just stupid

No. It's more than rage, it's insulting. And LaLush is showing lacking respect for his opponent, the tournament organizers and all viewers.
There's a difference between showing some emotions and getting worked up over a loss or a frustrating situation (this happens, it's normal and human and sometimes it might even add entertainment) and completely losing it like LaLush did here. Accepting this behavior as "just rage" is just as bad, because it justifies and encourages it.
I'm glad the majority here on TL as well as on Khaldor's stream and in the BDL comments see it the same way I do, i.e. this being unacceptable and hoping that LaLush gets some kind of warning or penalty from the BDL admins. Just because we're used to internet anonymity and the resulting attitude from some people doesn't mean we should accept it.
Sweden has really produced some nice players with Naniwa and Lalush.
Lalush is losing everything in this league anyways. I don't think a penalty has any effect on him whatsoever. Might as well kick him out of this league.

I'm not seeing any indication of such a majority. It's amusing to me and personally think people thinking otherwise take things too seriously. If the team and their sponsors think it's unacceptable, let them deal with it.

Um he's not. He is just making a point that Lalush needs to calm down and take off his cyber warrior armor. He isn't acting like Lalush because he didn't BM anyone. Just stating the hard truth - that Lalush wouldn't do it in real life for various reasons. And he didn't insult himself on the internet because he is making a valid point.

hey, there should be VODs in our justin.tv archive right now. I'll also try to get them up on youtube. You will get a PM as soon as I get home (tomorrow evening) with the link to at least the jtv VOD.
What is the latest on this league? Haven't heard anything about it in a while and the round robin stage was supposed to be approaching completion at this point.
All the players are hovering around 11-12 games (out of 14 that have to be played) - but Socke and Naniwa are lagging behind a lot (with 7 and 9 games played, respectively) - maybe due to Dallas?
There were several events within the last weeks so it was very hard for players to schedule their games. There will be more games coming soon so stay tuned!
there should be some long and nice casting evenings due to a lot of players having quite some games missing in the coming weeks. something to look forward to!

that probably is your fault. RageQuitTV is casting pretty much every date, the website has every match listed with the livestreams and BDL is always up in the TL calendar.
if you know about the league already, it's your responsability to follow it and tell your friends as well!

i would very much see the stream, for example today there is a date in the TL event database, but it's only listed as "BDL". If i know what BDL is (i do) i can click on that link and be referred to this thread, the op does not contain a thread link nor does the front page of the official bdl website. i do not say it's impossible to find the stream but it could be much easier and much better promoted.
with that said i'll definitely look forward to todays matches, Socke fighting!
edit: nevermind the stream is listed on the right, i must have been blind

Not completely true, the organizers could've made daily matchup LR threads in tourneys section, that's the easiest way to get attention since everyone wants to discuss matchups live with other people watching.
Tune in tomorrow when current place number 2 and 4 fight against each other to secure a good position for the playoffs The action starts at 19:00 CEST - Socke vs. Kas
I think at this point (with only five games left and everyone pretty much fixed in their slot, 4 weeks behind schedule) people are just waiting for the playoffs to start.
Actually, what would help make the last couple matchdays interesting would be some info on how the tournament progresses into the playoffs. Where's the cutoff? Who can still make it and which games don't matter anymore? When's the playoffs start? etc etc

if i recall correctly it was mentioned somewhere, that top 6 advance to playoffs. if thats correct everyone in top 6, except nightend is already qualified. the only way nightend doesn't advance is him losing both of his last 2 matches 0:2(vs naniwa and naama) while whitra wins his last match 2:0(vs naniwa)
Naniwa's terran timing is perfect. He's always been one of my favorite players overall and he's proving he can play 2 races at top teir. I'm pretty impressed.
edit: his macro is slipping hard though... 2k minerals... life sucks w/ out warpgates.
He seems frustrated by PvP lately, but this game means little to him so he just having fun. Always amazes me how good these pros can play switching race though.

League is still on-going, i think a few games need to be played but essentially everyone is either in or out or the play-offs. Nani just switched to terran for a laugh vrs Socke and won 2-0 thats all. He is top of the league (or was last i checked).

Great news! It's been hard to follow this tournament but hopefully this long and compacted day of quarters+semis+finals will make up for it. Hopefully Khaldor will be streaming in English?
