Signed up, what would be AMAZING for an event like this, is have a Home Story Cup kind of component to it (maybe for the finals, maybe not for this particular event), where you can get two teams in a similar setup as you would for HSC, cover maybe HALF the travel costs for up to 5-6 people, and have 2 teams stay at the same place, have the same dynamic of HSC except with clear commentator BIAS (players rooting for their teams) which would bring up more arguments, personality, rivalry.
Not to say that this isn't an awesome tournament without it, but when I read TeamStoryCup and TaKe that's what I imagined it and I was SOOOOO Excited for the idea.
half the travel costs for 5-6 people per team adds up to a whole hell of a lot lol. I mean it would be sick, but i dont think its realistic. Just glad to see more teamleagues popping up though, as they are very very exciting

I would love to cast this if you are looking for English casters, this looks really cool and I've been dying to cast a team league, they're so intense! I've registered.

this is awesome. cannot wait

Lineup looks good so far, can't wait to see these teams go at it, hard to pick a favorite.
Excited to see some more of Axiom
Ret and TLO have looked more than prepared to pick up the slack from an injured Taeja and a struggling Hero (don't worry Hero, I know you'll get your mojo back, Up&Downs ain't no thang)
Would be cool to see how Scarlett's skills transfer over to HoTS and I love me some MMA

Pretty low prize pool imo. Hopefully its at least $15k for first next time That's actually pretty high for a teamleague. In comparison: IPTL pays $9k to the champion (with a total prize pool of $22k) EG Master Cup pays $5k to the champion (total prize pool of $10k) NASL's teamleague paid $6k to the champion (total prize pool of $10k) Other than that one random Asian teamleague that had a $40k total prizepool, the only teamleagues that have much larger prizepools are the GSTL and Proleague, but those are not really comparable for obvious reasons.
Yes, it is quite a lot. Assuming 7 players, that is around $1,400 which is close to the Code S Ro32 pay.

Hey Guys,
we will provide you with some more information very soon We also had alot of stuff to do with the cebit BUT! I saw some question i would love to answer and i think you might like them!!
We cover 1500 Dollar travelexpenses to support the teams Plus! Hotels for the teams so that they don t have to pay all the costs!!! I hope this shows that we want to help the teams and we know its expensive to send 4-5 players!
Beside that this will be an onlineleague with the top 4 qualifying for the offline finale which is 2 days (Saturday/Sunday) at my place!!
More information will come!! Stay tuned and awesome first feedback <333 i am an old wc3 player and played several wc3l saisons and i was aiming for this teamleague for along time and i am happy that acer and also intel is supporting me with that <3 but also don t forget about roccat and needforseat who support the whole thing too!
Times for the qualifiers will be also announced offiicially very soon but we have to wait for an official go but it will be soon! All teams be prepared!

TaKe, I love you so much right now.
I miss team leagues a la WC3L and NGL One so, sooooooo much. There are team leagues in SC2, but they are replay casts (which kills hype), have too little prize money and are, for selfish reasons, broadcasted too late for EU. We even have offline finals now which elevates this on a much higher level.
Some clans have actually stopped signing players because team leagues didn't matter anymore. They focused on few individual players that carry their brand. I want a thriving clan scene back where clan membership actually matters, where we have aces, snipers, matchup specialists and support players, where fans can be happy when a new player is signed, not only because he wears another jersey but because he strengthens their team.
I hope the players, clans and the community work together to make this an awesome tournament and have many iterations of it!

Great news take, love it!
Can we just get the confirmation on what is it, Hots or Wol? I think it is Hots, but just to make it sure.

Team Acer taking their own event would be amazing!

Of course its hots, its stated in the rulebook:
"2.1 All games have to be played with the most up to date version of "StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm".
Everything else would be ridiculous

Take one small question please: Why are you so amazing?

Application sent!
Brilliant idea to have a team league like this :D

That is Awesome news that the finals are offline, like AWESOME. Its not speficied in the thread though, and you should make sure teams signing up for the qualifiers are down to cover the rest of the costs to Germany (travel for 4-5, especially for NA / KR teams, isn't a small amount) ROOT will play the heck out of this league! this is awesome news, not getting the hype it deserves, should edit the thread and make sure everyone knows its offline finals HSC style... just, amazing. <333 you TaKe and FU for not inviting us directly.

I'd prefer Western Wolves over Axiom but this is still excellent news.

Oh, I just read about the map pool
ESL Antiga Shipyard
ESL Cloud Kingdom
ESL Daybreak
ESL Entombed Valley
ESL Metropolis
ESL Ohana
GSL Whirlwind (Arcade)
Blizz Newkirk District
Blizz Akilon Flats
You might want to change the pool after the qualifier. A lot of people have uttered dissatisfaction about the IEM WC map pool as some maps are getting quite old.
