http://esea.net/index.php?s=esports&d=comments&id=8916
At least 5000$ in cash prize
I'm not 100% sure for the number of teams that will be allowed but I know there will be a cap.

The cash prize and the amount of teams that can sign up will be announce next week.
|
The admins for SC2 are dbizzle and myself.

So how does one become admin? Im sure Laurent + dabears wont be able to cover all 50 teams with 4-5 players on them. hehe
|

dont pay premium for this crap. You dont need to pay premium at all to play in the sc2 league, only the sc2 entry fee. Hmm I wonder if any of the top clans will participate if it has an entry fee to participate.
This isn't Brood War where kids struggled to pay $5 with mummy's credit card and top players could be bought off for $15/month. People will pay it, and if the top teams don't some shittier teams will win the $5000 and good on them for doing so.

The only thing im not liking about every sc2 league is that the match times aren't fixed weekly timeslots. We saw this in all the BW leagues, iCC-CL, BWCL, WGT-CL, they all had common timeslots, which allowed teams to prepare every week for the same time, and there wasn't any confusion. Would have liked to see some one step up and just solidify a timeslot for one of their leagues, SC2CL does it on europe and it runs perfectly fine Plus it gives viewers/fans a chance to always know when their favorite team is playing O_O

Just talk to the other teams ahead of time within the allotted time slot. Then you can notify your fans via forums/website/IRC/1.2 channels. whatever. It's MUCH easier and that way if you don't schedule your match it's not because of the time constraints and the admins can say it's your own damn fault and everyone moves on.

ESEA, in my opinion, has an excellent scheduling system on the site. I've played a lot of leagues and ESEA's scheduling is quite sound compared to other leagues.

When you are doing this 4-5 times a week with teams who can usually only play for 1 day a week it gets really annoying. I do my best to be lenient but teams can't offer enough timeslots for us to play sometimes and we have to bend over backwards in order for the cw to progress.

How is your comparison between bw and this even relevant? I don't see any difference, a game is a game is a game.

Because that is exactly the way it was in BW but with the influx of attention from the, far more advanced and organized, FPS communities this is changing. That is how it is relevant. A game is a game, but communities and the leagues are different.

Then prioritize. If you are playing in a league worth money, give that priority over one that means nothing.

Time slots will be listed in the rules, time slots are pretty flexible and are usually played during reasonable times.

Yes but when Cevo tried to charge to enter every team complained so again I am curious if the same will happen to this as well look at the Cevo topic where it was originally a fee before a ton of complaints removed that...

"Blizzard does not allow anyone to charge entry fees. If we were able to, there would be the current prizes plus over $3,000 in cash. "

CEVO said that they didnt want to pay the licensing fee, it has nothing to do with people saying they wont pay.
Im sure all the relatively quality teams will pay.
