That must be really hard on some of the players though. Wasn't it a long day of open/group play followed by team league in to the small hours? I mean it just becomes so much. But yeah it's pretty efficient.

Yeah, that's a really good concept, liked it very much for SC2L. So maybe this ATC final can be played at the next HSC?

Why are Empire and Invictus invited, instead of having to re-qualify? Last season, it was said that the bottom two teams would drop out and have to re-qualify.

Because Western Wolves and Quantic Gaming have disbanded. Empire and Invictus are the replacement of those disbanded teams.

They should speak to teams about rules. Like players should not play with a barcode, they have to play matches with a strict schedule.

Oh man, I remember Millenium vs complexity last season. BabyKnight and Dayshi were just not there, complexity only had qxc, TheStC and MajOr and then MajOr didn't show up, coL had two forfeit two maps and revived TheStC finished against Maddelisk and Adelscott. And thus Millenium gave away their play-off chances

So what you suggest is that tournaments starts to cooperate more? I like that idea (in general)
I'm not gonna lie, i wasn't hyped for SC2L at all, BUT the fact that they had the finals at Dreamhack was simply brilliant. DH is gonna be in X weekend no matter what, so either there would be schedule conflicts or they worked together and Bam!: DH and a Team league finals.
If ESL/IEM, Dreamhack, NASL, (Redbull?) (MLG?) and so on would either A) make their own team league or B) work together with ATC, ClanWars, (or SC2L if it came back) to have their live portions combined. Maybe even let the qualified teams players attend/invited to participate in the 1v1 tournament.
Altough alot of problems might show up (I.e: sponsor conflicts maybe), hopefully stuff like this will happen more.

I doubt that would be possible, ATC and HSC are sponsored by rivaling brands, and I dont think that either sponsor would be happy with shared screentime. And I doubt TaKe would replace the entire branding in the flat during the day.

Haha yes I think the SC2L finals started at 1:00 and ended at 3:30 or something like that.

That TaeJa rampage was atleast a good story, as TaeJa had to all-kill for TL to keep play-off chances. Mill vs coL was low in games quality, almost every player of both teams were missing and the only story was that Mill threw their chance away. I'd say the second was worse

I was having fun during Mill vs. coL, quite the opposite during TaeJa vs. Quantic.
After looking at the results again, Invictus was really close, they lost 4-5 a mere 3 times ( vs. TL, mouz and Quantic). Oh and they didnt play 2 of their matches for some reason

Quite the same during TaeJa vs. Hyun & Friends
Looking forward to fighting all Mill fans during Mill vs. mouz again.

Me too. Had we not lost stupidly those two matches (Quantic and coL) and we'd have been at 5-3 with only Invictus to play to confirm our playoffs spot. Things went so bad but I guess we deserved that for taking Axiom's spot in season 1 playoffs. Or simply for having players who don't show up.

Nice, I always enjoy team-leagues. Having to strategise which player to send against whom on which map makes the whole thing more interesting.

Empire \o/
we need more players tho!

Cool stuff, I fondly recall the season 2 finals. Watching MMA dominate everything and everyone while Scarlett was playing some online cup on the side was pretty funny. Some rather good games from that final too.
