It gives me great pleasure to announce the launch of a new professional Starcraft 2 League! Yegalisk Master League will allow the current best players to compete for 1000$ prize pool over the period of a month.
Not only we will be offering the highest level of entertainment, but also actively promote the growth of Starcraft 2 Community by giving away FREE HotS copies after every stream! If you're watching us regularily - the odds are in your favour!
If you have a friend that is not convinced to starcraft - invite him over for a beer (or a juice if you're underage!) and let us do the rest of the magic!
Yegalisk Master League is an 8-man Tournament played in a Double Elimination System. Each player will get not only a shot at the main prize, but also a chance for revenge!
The 1000$ prize pool will be distributed between the Top 3 players: - 700$ - 200$ - 100$
The map pool: Akilon Wastes [Blizzard] Bel'Shir Vestige LE [Blizzard] Cloud Kingdom LE [WCS-Blizzard] Daybreak LE [WCS-Blizzard] Neo Planet S [KeSPA] Newkirk Presinct [Blizzard] Ohana LE [WCS-Blizzard] Star Station [GSL] Whirlwind LE [Blizzard]
Players will veto down the maps until only one remains. The loser picks the next map.
At the end of a season the four players who fell out of the tournament first will be replaced by two new invited players, as well as two winners of the elimination tournaments.
Streams available in English, German & Polish

This sounds fantastic! Always nice to see a recurring league that offers a lot.
good luck
|
Announcing first two participants for Season #1 of YML!
- Nerchio - GoOdy
Who else would you like to see on the tournament lineup for April?
|
Yeah, Goody! I hope he does a better showing than when he was plaing snute in the showmatch series Huge goody fan
I'd love to see TLO, obviously (who doesn't) and maybe a couple of lesser known koreans? Scarlett would be nice also!
I hope the activity in this thread isn't going to be linked to how many viewers you'll get :D So far the players seem to be hype!
|
white ra, morrow for mech terran and johnnyrecco, just planting some seeds
|
goswser is pretty baller too and he's in france i think, gobbling baguettes
|
|
Yeah this should get some more attention, nice initiative and quality games.
|
And here we are - two more confirmed players!
- White-Ra - Happy
Who comes next?
|
spidey sense says dimaga? maybe slivko or sase, this should be fun, i enjoy your casts and i still believe i'll get free hots off of you one day, must be more random
|
Gogo White-Ra. Somehow I feel at least 1 of the 2 Spanish brothers will be in this tournament.
|
let me guess: Mana, Snute, Vortix and Lucifron
|
There we go with 2 more announced players!
- Snute - BabyKnight
Only two mysteries remain!
|
The last two players have been announced!
- Kas - Bly
We have one epic lineup, don't you think?

Surprised to see that happy is up 2-0 versus snyout

well done Happy
|
Now Happy is 3:0 vs Snute... he went mech in the games vs Hyun in the yesterdays ZOTAC monthly final and lost 3:2... so today he goes for 4M and sweeps Snute.
Well played!
|
That MMMM combo is so strong. Terran are hard to attack into even 5 bases vs 3 bases.
|
Goody goes mech and gets stomped by Bly 3:0... I'm worried for top-level mech a bit.
|
Great matches today! Looking forward to tuesday

Mech did not look all that hot in the Happy vs Hyun games too. Maybe it's because Hyun is so good, but nonetheless - he looked much stronger with the 4M today.

Go Pandatank!! Hoop jy wen boet!
Thanks Yegalisk for the epic comps as always !!!!
|
As DeathStroke kindly noticed we have an announcement to make:
BabyKnight due to personal reasons cannot attent this months competition, therefore - PandaTank will replace him in Yegalisk Master League.
|
C'mon White-Ra win a game for the series' sake.
Edit: There you go
3-1. Thanks for the games, Yegwen.
|
Carrier too early, White-Ra :/
|
Who won between Dimaga vs White-Ra? Unfortunately I couldnt watch the games :/
|
How did Nerchio vs PandaTank go? Clean sweep for Nerchio?
Edit: Good to see Kas won the showmatch (5-2 Snute)
|
Unfortunately so! Nerchio 3:0 PandaTank, and then Kas 3:1 WhiteRa.
Bracket has been updated.
|
Not feeling all that confident for Kas since he got 4-0'd by Nerchio in a Chanman showmatch two days ago. More so for Happy against Bly though.
|
Happy is on fire lately and I think this will come down to Happy vs Nerchio... no idea who will take it thou.
|
|
Gah! So close, PandaTank
Edit: And GoOdy went down too. Double sad face.

How dare you. PandaTank is the great African hope and GoOdy is Terran Jesus.

Bly tried so hard to counter happy's marine-mines mix, and it works in 1st game, very close 2nd game and then Happy tottaly choked Bly not giving him a little chance...
Thx for the stream, you are become one of my favorite pair of casters
|
|
Saw Kas tweet that both he and Happy advanced (I was caught in WCS). So good.
|
|
|
|
What happened with this? Is it over or postponed to when?
Came to think of it when I saw a GoOdy vs Bly Bo9 for $100 starting.
|
|
Kas takes out Bly 3-0 in the lower bracket and we have an all Empire finals.
Thank you so much for all the games, Yegwen.
Edit: And Kas wins the final 5-1.
