I'd like the re-emphasize the difficulty of a Bo9 with 9 players on each team - I suggest reducing to Bo7 + ace match (three less per team), or Bo9 WL/GSTL style (four less per team).

how do u justify which team competes for each province? wouldn't there be a huge amount of competition from teams wanting to represent their province?

you get an official team from each state/province it's not like proteams are competing for each area.

Ehm, you are the ignorant one. NA has 23 countries, not two or three. So why call it NA when it only has two of the NA countries?

National? But isn't it all of North America? It'd be nice if someone could come up with a better name for the league.


I know-- we can call it the "North American StarLeague" and call it NASL for short! ... oh wait...

This sounds super exciting! I don't think there should be a team for every state/province in North America though-- that just doesn't seem feasible to me. I think there should be representations of major cities though (like the New York GM Club, the Boston Siege Tanks, the San Francisco Swarm, or the Montreal Expos (HAHA I made myself giggle :3))

Firstly, Greenland, as it is part of Denmark, is considered part of Europe. It also is not, along with Saint Pierre and Miquelon and Bermuda, a sovereign state. Secondly, I'm confused-- when did Central America become a continent? Places like Trinidad and Tobago, like Nicaragua or St. Lucia have more of a right to a North American League than do European provinces. Central America is within North America.

I hope this works out. The community needs more of these kind of leagues for the amateurs who wants something to play for and with some kind of clan they can practice with. Maybe someone takes the initiative to host a clan league open for everyone in the future when we get clan support and there is more clans or something, but now all I see is just a ton of tournaments for the pro's and pro teams but nothing to actually help the foreign community and it's players.

So gl, hope you get enough players!

this is by geographical standards. The Caribbean and Central America are parts of North America yes, but these countries constitute the geographical North America. They do this by using the plates. The Caribbean plate and the Cocos plate separate these countries listed above from the rest of the americas. Anything on the Nazca-South american plates are parts of South America as a continent, whilst those countries on the cocos/caribbean plate are classified as central america. So while technically there are 23 or so countries part of North America, but when you take into account all the information you are left with only the ones above.

Also, puerto rico, guam, and numerous other countries are/were US protect/provinces yet never once were they considered part of USA. When talking about countries and what continent they belong to, solely geography comes into account not ownership.

tl;dr actual proper geography would have had 3 different continents, and this is the geography taught in most USA, canadian, and as far as i know, mexican schools.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'm talking with the team to tweak the format, and I will start talking to people who have shown interest in organizing a team in their region. Soon I'll be able to come up with a rough list of provinces/states involved!

Nice initiative. I think deciding on a map pool now is a big mistake though, hots beta can begin within february for all we know.
Just when I thought I was out, Blizz pulled me back in..
