Crank Gathers Season 4: BW vs SC2 Team League
'Crank Gathers' is back for Season 4! This time, the tournament will be played on the SC Evo Complete mod.
As always, the main sponsor of this event is the Korean streaming platform Chzzk.
Therefore, 'live streaming' of the upcoming Crank Gathers must be streamed exclusively on 'Chzzk'. Aside from Korean-language streams, anyone is welcome to cast as long as it’s on Chzzk. Simultaneous streaming on multiple platforms will not be allowed. Since they are trying to support the StarCraft scene as well, please watch through Chzzk.
We are aware that viewers outside of Asia may experience some lag without a VPN. The streaming platform is actively working to improve this, so we kindly ask for your patience and understanding.

Note on Webcam Policy & Tournament Flexibility
We have received many inquiries regarding webcam requirements. My goal is to have all players use webcams for every match, similar to GSL/RSL standards. At the very least, we will require all players to have their webcams on during the Playoffs.
While webcam setups add extra tasks for both the organizers and the players, seeing the players' real-time reactions provides a much richer viewing experience for the audience. Furthermore, this is a vital component in showcasing the value of our events to sponsors, which acts as the driving force for us to continue hosting these tournaments in the long run.
Please note that due to potential challenges some teams may face regarding the schedule, the SC Evo Complete mod, or webcam requirements, the total number of participating teams may be reduced from 8, and the tournament format may be subject to adjustment. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
