Very happy to have another season of WTL!
|
Wondering if there will be more rumoured or effective player transfers now this season is officially announced. Was rethinking about Vanya going to GGG
|
Yess Goog news from China!
KaiZI has to get some players if they want to stay on the top.
PartinG is free but not many koreans left (ByuL or Leenock)

BTW the gist is if there are way more than 12 teams signing up they might do qualifiers for a few spots, undetermined for now.

As opposed to Summer. The finals are in the titled season, the round robin is the season leading up to the Winter/Summer season.
Just trying to justify the names here. The 2021 Summer season started in the end of winter/beginning of spring.

This is why we have edit buttons.

When map rotation is so fast that you actually travel back in time
|
We're truly entering SPL territory now, adding weird maps for the current meta and saying "git gud" to progamers

Wow, what a twist.
You know even though it may surprise some progamers, I think it's a good thing.
It's probably gonna help upsets a bit with some player prepping build on specific maps more progamer aren't use too. It's not to bad if one map is broken either since it's only one map in one tournament. Plus I'm due for a mix up of maps.
On the bad side, I'll now have images of queen walk on Overgrowth in my brain for the rest of my life.

Round 1 matchup is out, some interesting matchup is AX vs AF and possibly PsiStorm vs SR.

Protoss and Terran: Yay small map is good for us we can rush and pressure Zerg
Zerg: Hold my Queen
