On behalf of Raise Your Edge Gaming, I am pleased to announce that the SC2 Royal has returned for the sixth edition of the tournament.
The RYE SC2 Royal #6 will feature a unique and compelling squad-based format. All Starcraft 2 teams are invited submit squads of 3 players each, and players who are not submitted as part of a team's squad may band together to form "merc squads."
To determine seeding for the bracket stage, each squad will choose two of their three players to compete in a round-robin stage which will test their 2v2 skills. Once seeded, all squads will then compete in a single-elimination 1v1 (Proleague-style) bracket.
Team owners who would like to submit their squad(s) and merc squads who would like to register should contact CreightonOlsen on Discord (CreightonOlsen#4323) in advance of the deadline.
Prize Pool
1st place squad: $1,500
2nd place squad: $750
3rd place squad: $300
4th place squad: $150
A $100 bonus will be awarded to each 2v2 team which places 1st in their group in the seeding stage.

E: with the Final beeing a Bo9, will we see some ladder maps from the last season(s) there or will we get 2 maps twice?
Also can someone pressure Heromarine, Showtime and Lambo into participating in this and forming an an all german merc squad, as neither of them is in an actuall team with multiple SC2 players? I miss NW

I Don t see a world, where Liquid isn t sending in a Team tbh. They habe a lot of depth and I also recall Harstem, Clem and uThermal participating in some 2v2 Tournaments earlier this year. So I Don t think the Players would why away from this more experimentell Team league Setup either
Some keen-eyed players have noted that the NA qualifiers for TSL6 are on also on December 2nd, just a few hours before the Ro32/Ro16. Don't worry - we will make accommodations for players that are in both tournaments! Please don't let concerns about missing your matches in the RYE Royal prevent you from signing up.
Squads will be announced on Monday after registrations close!! Two reasons:
1. Some squads are still jimmying with their rosters and I don't want to lock them in with an announcement. 2. To maintain competitive integrity. Don't want to let anyone know who they might be facing so they can plan counters.
Registrations close at 1200 CST on Monday, and I'll try to have an announcement out an hour or two after that.
It's finally here! I am so pleased to announce that 21 squads have registered for the SC2 Raise Your Edge Royal #6!
Squads can be found on the Liquipedia page for the event, with the 2v2 seeding stage groups on the second tab. Let me know what you think of the incredible talent that has signed up.
Interesting notes!
Eleven byes will be awarded in the 2v2 seeding stage. This means that the top two teams in each group will earn a bye (top three teams in Group E)
Remember that a $100 bonus will be awarded to the five teams who place at the top of their group in the seeding stage.
Of the 21 squads, 14 different SC2 teams are represented! Not bad.
Foreign language casting spots for the entire event are still open. If you'd like to cover all the action in your native language, reach out to CreightonOlsen#4323 on Discord right away!
The seeding stage takes place this Wednesday at 19:00 GMT (+00:00), and will be streamed on:
Wow, amazing turnout, this will be amazing. Liquid > RYE > Cascade are probably the favorites. Exon 2 seems to be stronger than exon 1 Edit: Underneath is a list of all entered Teams ranked by their Alligulac score: The Rankings from CSO eSports 1, 2, 3 have to be taken with a grain of salt, as all their players have a very small data set of played games and all lost all their Tournament games as well, indicating their real scores are actually lower. Big kudos to those 9 players to still sign up for this, I wish them all the best and some great fun playing against the pros. I m also super excited for the Alpha X youngling Team, this is what makes it even more special.

exon Squad 4, 5 and 6 are not realy playing for money there. Top 4 teams get paid and they have abslutly Zero chance to get there. For Exon 3 that would ba almost impossible as well and even Exon 1 or 2 need some luck with the Matchups to defeat the Top Teams.
@dbRic1203 - I was really hoping someone would do this! Thought it might be inappropriate for me to do that math as the organizer. Really cool breakdown. I'm expecting the 2v2 seeding stage to throw a few spanners into the works - I've heard that a few squads have been sneaking in a LOT of 2v2 practice to get a better seed out of the gate.

I m just realy excited for this tournament. It s quite a bit different from the standart tournaments we get, wich is allways exciting. I m realy looking forward to the 2v2 stage as well, if some teams realy put the practise in, we could see some upsets there for sure :D
Small competitive update: GdA Team unexpectedly had one of their players leave the team. The American zerg player Reaper has been replaced by the French zerg player ShinO. Roster changes are not sanctioned by tournament rules, but as admin, I'm allowing this minor change. Other teams in Group B of the seeding stage have been notified.

BOOOO, that ruins my entire analysis Shino has a rating around 1800, so it would put them up slightly higher, infront of IndyK Crew, so it s 2 spots in a range that could as well be heavily skewed anyways, because there are a lot of non Full time players on that level anyways.
