VP and Lz.
I don't want to get your hopes up, but I wouldn't say I'm not serious about trying to get this going. I've mentioned in a blog post that the goal is to have live tournaments, so gamer couples can come together for some fun and competition. I'd love it if the idea takes off and we can have a tourney in the San Francisco area or something that's best for everyone. For right now, I want to get some teams in and registered so I can start some initial brackets. We'll be in a better place to see where we're at once we see the levels of play we have going on.
Oh, and I've posted instructions on how to register for the league on the forums of the site. It's a bit clunky, but it works until we get a better solution.

InControl and Anna are gonna win idk any other GF remotely gold league. ST_Rainbow & ST_Aphrodite helps if the guy's better than gold too Why do you insist on insulting fellow pro players? Within the past month or two you insulted MKP calling him a bad player on SOTG. Look at the results from the past year and he has performed significantly better than you have. While not quite on MKP's level, rainbow is a solid player that is arguably better than you are. When are you going to learn to respect your peers? *On subject, best of luck to this league. If I can convince my girlfriend to play I will be signing up as well :D
Are people really this stiff?
Dude he's fucking around. I sware somedays i can't tell the difference between this place and reddit. Teamliquid members = supposed to have half a brain, almost...

I've heard of many units being OP, but never the gays.

what are the rules regarding couples?
Do they need to live in the same city? same state/province? same country?
Do they need to be friends? do they need to be lovers? How would it be known/proven?

seems like this ideas got a really good reception just remember why you started it though and make sure that it doesn't become such a burden or that you spend too much time worrying about how it'll turn out. should be lots of people on TL willing to help if you need it

I'm purposely being pretty loose about this now. I don't think it will be abused at first. Once we start meeting up live, the abuse should really drop off. One idea was that it be a co-ed league that just has to be one male and 1 female. I think that's a good idea to help bring females to the game, but my #1 goal when I thought of this idea was to meet other married couples that play SC. I don't think there are enough of those to run a league, so bf/gf couples are fine, and probably even male/female friends.
I'll start a thread on the league's forums to see everyone's thoughts on this.

Thanks, Denzil. I really do appreciate the kind words. I know it will be difficult, especially because I know nothing about running tournaments/leagues, etc. So I'll definitely need to hit up the community for help from time to time. But over, it's going to be fun for me and everyone involved. That's the main goal.

This is playing with fire since the gay marriage debate going on in US right now. =x

If this is a serious league, I'm interested in joining in with my boyfriend. I am 400pts Diamond and He is ~1000pts Master. More information about the rules etc. would be nice to have.

Supr, come on in. Our first tournament will be organized as soon as we get enough teams. I think we need 2 more teams, then we're ready to go. The first tournament will be for initial league rankings, and we'll see from there. I'm even going to give casting a shot and stream the tourney! My hopes are that this first tourney well bring attention to the league and get more females/couples into competitive gaming.

Naniwa/SaSe have this in the bag

Any updates on the status of this league?
|
I can imagine at least one couple breaking up over this because the guy gets too competitive.

gay couples would be imba
