The STL is a new online North American event held by SC2Clans.org, hosted by Binary Beast, and now sponsored by IVGrafix. The STL is looking to heat things up this summer, featuring some of the top up and coming teams on the NA sever:
- Premiere League - Master/Grandmaster level teams
Prize: 1st Place - $100 + Team Logo and Web Design by IVGrafix! MVP Award: TBD Participating Teams: + Show Spoiler + - Championship League - Platinum/Diamond level teams
Prize: $50 Participating Teams: + Show Spoiler +
The STL will follow a similar format to the GSTL. Within each division, teams will be placed into groups and play round-robin style. Teams will play one match per week during the regular season. Matches will be a Best of 7 All Kill format. At the season's end, the top teams will advance to a single elimination playoff bracket. Complete Format and Rules can be found HERE.

Be sure to follow all the action at SC2Clans.org, on Twitter @SC2Clans, and on Facebook.com/SC2Clans.
If you have any questions or would like to be involved with the league, contact admin@sc2clans.org.
Also, I would like to personally thank Team OpTiK, xO Gaming, Clan [7], and Team Decerto for participating in the Team League Preview; valuable experience was definitely gained, and the league will be better because of it.
Good luck and have fun!

Application form is found by following the Sign Up link underneath the banner.

It's may be worth mentioning that there is no restriction on the number of teams that can sign up in a league, but once registration is closed and teams are placed into leagues that it will be done so in a fashion that creates an even amount of teams in a group and so that the amount of games each group plays is in the 7-10 range.
So basically this means that we will accept any number of teams but when it comes to making the schedules we will be cutting the numbers down to fit the bill (ie 24 teams or 32, or 36).
Sign ups are on a first come first serve basis and and any teams that don't make the cut will be placed on a waiting list to replace any no shows in the first week or two.
Keep the registrations coming, especially all the lower league players!
|
I have to say I love the initiative by this league. I got an email almost 2 weeks ago asking if we would be interested in playing in it. Looking forward to it ^^ Flow Gaming will be ready!

No one can play down a league but anyone can play up a league. So your options would be to sign up a team with only Diamonds in the Championship League, or to enter your entire team into the Premiere League.
We want the competition levels to be as close as possible.
|
This sounds awesome! With teams like NrG, aiR, PMS | H20, Area 51 Gaming playing you know this league will be epic!
|
Sounds awesome! Gotta find me a Plat/Diamond Team... and probably learn to play a little better :D
|
Bacon Community will EZ plat-dia. :D
|
anyone down to make a bronze to gold lvl team let me know. PM me =]

Hello, Team FC is interested in signing up, but upon clicking the link, I am given the following message:
"You can't submit the form"
|
Sorry, you must register with sc2clans.org before you can submit an application. The sign up module for the site should be just to the left of the error message you are receiving.
I will add this to the OP.
Thanks

|
Hugs and Kisses applied for the premiere league!

Looks really cool! Wish I was on NA server

Team League Preview match between xO Gaming and Team Decerto going down in 1 hour.
Casted by Team aiR's BuDDha at http://twitch.tv/sc2clans.
|
Well that was fun. xO wins 4-1 vs Decerto.
You can follow the standings here: http://binarybeast.com/xSC2US1203230
Next match tomorrow night between OpTiK and Clan 7. Same bat time, same bat channel.
|
So far we have 26 teams signed up for the Premiere League. Surely we can get an even 32 :D
|
I Would be very interested in playing in this league!!! Though, I do not actually have a team. I Am a gold level toss player (shooting for plat in season 7) and would love to be a part of this experience.
contact me here, or in game (SGB.527)
Thanks!!

Mujaheddin eSports signing up for the bronze-gold tourney.
|
I just want to make this clear for all registering teams. The registration for the tournament is under the "Team League" tab. There is also a "Clans" tab which allows you to register your clan simply for Clan Promotion. Do not use the Clans tab to register for the tournament. We will make this more apparent soon. :D
|
Updated the map pool. MLG Shakuras Plateau has been replaced with IPL Atlantis Starship.
There are a couple of reasons for this change. One, Shakuras is just old and I wanted to add more newer maps to the pool. Two, The MLG version has issues with adding spectators to the game. Three, I think Atlantis Starship will produce a lot more interesting games to watch than Shakuras would have.
If you have any constructive comments or ideas about the map pool, feel free to discuss and it will be taken into consideration.
|
I wouldn't mind making a bronze to gold team if anyone is interested.
|
All Bronze-Gold players, we are considering a Individual Tournament and would like to know how many we have that would be interested. Please leave your thought here Individual Tourney Thread
Thanks all :-D

Because you just registered 1 HR ago and I've been on my lunch break.
But seriously though, once I get back to my office I will tell my boss to shove it, I have things to update.
^_^
Ps I know that may sound like I'm being an ass but I'm just joking....sort of.
|
Updated the OP with Casting and Stream info.
To get a preview of the action, tune in to the official stream tonight (7:30 CT) as BuDDhA will be casting a match between OpTiK and Decerto.

My bad my other broski did the clan registration not team league one

Guys! Tell all your friends.
We are very excited to see everyone play and cast these games. So please sign up!

Couple of updates:
1. Registration deadline has been moved up to April 20th to give us more time to setup groups and schedule matches.
2. The Cup League (Bronze-Gold) has been removed due to lack of sign ups. If anyone is still interested in a Bronze-Gold team league we recommend looking into the Chobo Team League, which can be found here in the tournament forums.
|
Can't wait for this tournament! It is going to be a lot of fun. :D

The leagues have rounded out nicely, with 35 in the Premiere League, and 13 in the Championship league! This is building up to be an epic season.
There will of course likely be 'no-show' teams during the first week, and they will be replaced by teams on the waiting list, so keep the sign ups coming!
Only 8 days left to register!
|
Prize Pool has been updated.
Registration closes in 5 days.
Team Managers should be expecting an email in the next few days containing important information regarding league participation.
|
Registration closes Friday! Would love to see a few more teams sign up for the Championship League.
It looks like for the Premiere League we will have 4 groups of 9 teams, with the top 4 of each group advancing to the playoffs.
For the Championship league we are looking at 2 groups of either 6, 7, or 8 teams, depending on last minute sign ups. I know a lot you Premiere teams have a B-team you could sign up. This league will likely have an 8 team playoff.

looks nice, any plans to do this on eu?

We are very much aware of the demand on the EU server for well organized amateur events. However, our main objectives right now are to establish ourselves in our home country as a successful promoter of independent teams and to provide those teams with events that are both fun to participate in as well as entertaining to watch for the SC2 community. We want to be the stepping stone for teams to move on to the next level.
Once we reach a level we are happy with we would love to expand into the EU scene. This will also heavily rely on finding the right people (European obviously) to join our team who could run these events to our expectations.
|
UR Gaming is in should be alot of fun.
|
Registration is closed.
Emails have been sent out to all registered teams.
Teams, be sure to check your emails and the website if you don't want to be left out!
|
This tournament looks like it is sizing up to be epic.
It's exciting to see new things cropping up and people really organizing their one spots in e-sports.

|
Woah woah woah! You got Samsc2 to cast for you?
|
I will say upfront, some of the teams I have no information about at all, other than looking at their rosters, so I blindly picked some of these just to have a pick for every match. Nevertheless, Here are my picks Week 1:
Premiere League oGaming vs Team SCS (4-1) Nrg vs [7] (4-1) Binary vs Hugs and Kisses (3-4) Visionary vs FxA (4-1) Fallacy vs sMi (4-3) PMS|H2O vs Solace (2-4) ALT vs exioN (4-2) iMpulse vs Han|Stassis (4-0) OpTiK vs Berserkers (4-1) MnM vs FkC (4-0) Icons vs Under Rated (2-4) eXe vs Mobility (3-4) Team FC vs Dream Team (3-4) Decerto vs RoH (4-2) aiR vs StarcrafSV (4-1) xO vs Tactical Carnage (4-2)
Championship League TBD
What are your predictions?
|
looking forward to starting this off tomorrow! Thanks for doing this. GL everyone.
|
Hopefully we can prove the Fever Clan v Dream Team 3-4 prediction wrong!
|
Where can we access our current rosters for the league? I'm probably going to have to make changes before we start tomorrow..
|
|
|

For the Championship League, Boisterous and Cadoink will be making VODs. You can find their info in the OP.
For the Premiere League, I am looking into setting up a YouTube channel and making VODs from the live casts on Twitch. However it may be a couple of weeks before things settle down and I have time to dedicate to this.
But with 22 matches every week, there will inevitably be gaps in coverage. We will do our best to cover every playoff match though.

How do i upload results to this binary beast page :/ + Show Spoiler +Stolz beat RoH 4-1 but I don't know where to report it :/
|
Tactical Carnage is extremely excited about this! Should be a lot of fun, hopefully we can give a great showing this week in our first matchup against xO!
|
|
A lot of good games in Week 1, particularly the Impulse eSports vs NMx match. Check out the VoD here: iMp vs NMx Be sure to check out the standings after Week 1 and check out all the action for Week 2 coming up.
Tentative casting schedules will be released tomorrow.

Really positive experience so far with this league (I'm with Tactical Carnage) - an extremely well run league all around. While we couldn't quite make the comeback against xO this past week falling 4-2, we hope to put our Bye week to good use and get in some solid practice. When we come back, who knows? Maybe we'll pick things up a bit.

Great league so far. Looking forward to seeing more. :D

Some games to look forward to this week:
Thursday @01:30 GMT (+00:00): Area 51 Gaming vs Team exioN casted by NanMan http://www.twitch.tv/therealnanman Friday @01:00 GMT (+00:00): xO Gaming vs PMS|H2O casted by BuDDhA http://twitch.tv/buddhism101

I don't like the fact that our opponents are attempting to try to get a win when they lost. Accusing us for sending a scout to "tryout" for your team so we know what you are doing. Area51 Gaming are in other team leagues like ESEA, Sc2Tour, etc. Do you see us sending our players to say they are leaving to join their team to only come back and tell us the scoop on their builds?
Please save your breath and just accept the loss.
Area51 Gaming 4-2 exioN Gaming

No reason for this stuff to be made public, it does nothing but to evoke a flame war, and mar the face of the league by having it potentially fill this thread.
Anywho, live tonight with Championship League action between Berserkers B-Team and Team LXG: http://www.twitch.tv/boisterousSC2
AND Premiere League action: xO Gaming vs PMS|H20 http://www.twitch.tv/buddhism101

TaC fell to LgN by a score of 4-3, but great games all around! They were cast by samsc2, and the link is right here!

Check it out if you like. It was a great time had by all, and I'm really loving this team league so far.

Tonight we have a mid-season showdown between two of the top teams in the league: Legit Gaming vs Nightmares Academy casted by BuDDhA http://twitch.tv/buddhism101 (Check the OP for your local show time)
These two heavy hitters will surely put on a good show as they fight to keep their undefeated league records intact.
Be sure to tune in and support these up-and-coming teams and casters, and help us grow esports to new heights!

|
Come check out some mid-season Premiere League action @01:00 GMT (+00:00): Under Rated Gaming vs Team Nightmares Academy casted by NanMan http://twitch.tv/therealnanman

|
Big match up tonight between Legit Gaming (5-0, 1st in Group A) and Under Rated Gaming (4-2, 3rd in Group A). LG will be fighting to keep their perfect record alive while URG will be trying to stay one of the top 4 teams from Group A advancing to the playoffs.
This match will be streamed live and casted by SamSC2 http://www.twitch.tv/samsc2 @01:00 GMT (+00:00)

Another great match coming up tonight in about 40 minutes between Legit Gaming and Impulse eSports. The match will be co-casted by SamSc2 and NanMan, and it is also on the featured stream list: http://www.teamliquid.net/calendar/2012/06/#event_10991
So awesome we can finally reach some more people and promote the amateur/semi-pro level teams.
