Cmon do proleague format :/ Allkill format seems to be the more popular format in general i guess :/

Obviously i am happy that we have more sc2 content though, that's always nice! Still

16 individual players that will undergo a draft

Can anyone explain what that means? Does it mean that the teams will be picked instead of signed up like last time?

You'd have to think so. Top 4 in individual start picking their teams. Interesting way of doing it.

The afreeca team match (bw) did it the same way. I am not the biggest fan because it usually means that we get unbalanced teams. But hey who knows

I liked the friend teams because you could see the interactions between players but it's always interesting to try different format. We will see.

Anyone knows how to approach tournament organizers in order to talk about potential [community] broadcasts? My best guess is press at playxp.com, but that email is probably VSL-irrelevant.

I'm so excited for this. Team leagues are always great, even tho I hope that we have more teams for this but something is still better than nothing. I hope the teams will be original and not just the 16 players in the main bracket

Hopefully there will be an English cast, but I'm looking forward to it either way. Also I prefer all-kill to proleague format, especially when you don't have massive rosters.

Now we just need a SPOTV announcement :D

Registration just opened today. It won't close until the 26th.
We will probably find out who the participants are after that.

That's kind of amazing - who would've thought at the end of last year that we'd have so much Korean SC2 that there are schedule conflicts... :D
