It is great pleasure that I am able to relaunch SC2Improve's contribution to the UK & Irish StarCraft 2 scene with the UK & Ireland 2016 Series : Spring. 'Spring' will be the first of multiple events this year in which you will be able to watch the best StarCraft players from the UK & Ireland come together and compete on a regular basis. This tournament is a replacement for last years UK & Ireland Summer Series, which had to be cut due to scheduling issues. I am happy to announce that Molotovs & Marshmallows will be returning to sponsor the Spring edition of the series. They had the following to say about the event.



The UK & Irish scenes have so many talented players but with so few opportunities to prove themselves, with a limited number of LAN events to attend each year and next to no online events to help grow the scene. I strongly believe that the growth of our players can only be furthered with regular regional based competition which also brings exposure to the players and their teams. With this in mind I will be aiming to not just deliver exciting StarCraft content, but also a show in which you will learn more about our players and our scene.

It is also important to grow new talent as well as nurturing the talent already at the top of our scene. With the new format I have decided to run with for the UK&I 2016 Series I will not be neglecting players below the highest level of skill in our scene. All events in our 2016 series will be split into the 'U Series' for the highest level players and the 'K Series' for everybody else.
