Bracket

Season 11 for the Starcraft 2 League was a great success. We had an action-packed season with an exciting playoffs, and a team who for the first time ever in ESEA SC2 history, managed to go completely undefeated. Congratulations to Infinity Seven, who achieved a perfect 20-0 record this season and has become the new ESEA SC2 Champions! We took the time to interview the new champions after their 3-1 victory over the runner-up, CheckSix Gaming.

Final Standings:
1st Place - Infinity Seven ($2,800)
2nd Place - CheckSix Gaming ($1,200)
3rd Place - It's Gosu eSports ($600)
4th Place - LighT eSports ($200)
5/6th Place - Team Legion ($100)
5/6th Place - Team Nightmares ($100)

Congratulations on becoming the ESEA Season 11 Champions! How do you guys feel?

Freaking awesome! It's an amazing feeling to know that we've done what no other team has done so far in ESEA and that is to go undefeated in the season.

This is your third season participating in ESEA. Previously Infinity Seven achieved 3rd and 4th place. What was the big factor in Infinity Seven's success and first place finish this time around?
Mmm... Infinity Seven as a team changed much over the past few seasons. At first we were a group of young players who wanted to prove that we were the best. The team chemistry was raw and powerful which was one of the reasons why we were able to beat EG during the regular season last year.

The following season, we were going through a lot of shifts in our roster as we were trying to become a more stable team. We were finding out that, although we had some of the best players in the league, we weren't able to clinch the necessary wins.

It wasn't until this season did our team chemistry really mature. Our players trusted each other and with that confidence they were able to play more solid. We joked earlier in MLG Columbus that we were going to win ESEA, but we didn't realize that we would do so in dominating fashion. I would have to say that in the end it was because of the team bond that we have. It was something that took time to grow though.

How did you guys prepare for the matches in playoffs? How did you prepare for the match versus CheckSix?

It’s a mixture of timing, luck, and confidence in our players. Our players are familiar with CheckSix roster so we knew what kind of team we were facing. It was definitely troubling to see an all-zerg line-up, especially with CrazyMoviNG unable to play ZvZ cross-region. Most of our players actually struggle against zerg currently.

In our first match against Check Six, Insur ended up losing the 4th match against Sleep which ended up tying the series; we had the choice of sending in either jEcho or Sanddbox. We knew Check6 would send out the expected pick: Sleep, thus a ZvZ match-up would be inevitable. In the end we sent Sanddbox; because, he had confidence in his ability to snipe Sleep. He came through beyond read more . . .

Read more for the rest of the interview, as well as the season awards! (Breakout Performance Award, Most Entertaining Award, and Most Valuable Player Award!) Thanks for watching this season of ESEA!

I think the player statistics and MVP award would be far more interesting if you looked at their stats over the whole season. A few win streak is impressive, but I think it would be cool to see how all the players on the top teams performed throughout the season.

Either way, excellent job, and a well-deserved MVP from Golden.

Ah thanks for the suggestion. The website actually has a 'statistics' tab but I think it fails to keep track of everything, I hope for next season it can be up and running though because then we can actually see how everyone's doing. For this recordkeeping I had to manually look at all the games and I think it would have been quite difficult going through the entire season by myself, so I hope the statistics tracker can work for next season!

^ yeah with something like those stats, we can see really meaningful data - masa and hendralsk were played the most at by far the highest winrates, and they really carried their team into the playoffs.

Yeah definitely agree, I'll try and contact the ESEA web people to see if they can get that recordkeeping thing automatic

Congrats to Infinity Seven for showing outstanding play all season long! Thanks to Conan(Suppy) for all the amazing write ups each week, keeping everyone up to date on how the season was progressing! I had a blast taking part in this league as a caster to be able to bring out such an exciting story from all the teams! I look forward to next season and i'm really curious if anyone will be able to take out the new season champion! :D
