Would this affect the Korean players' appearances on GSL, for example?
Either ways, it's nice to have a form of Proleague back

This Chinese proleague rumors has been going on for months now, it would be nice to have an official confirmation or something. And I mean a serious announcement.
And none of those Kr proplayers have confirmed anything or twitter anything (Zest, Patience, Solar, etc.) at the moment.

Would you tell prize pool is two seasons total (290,000 RMB a year) or per one season (290,000 RMB season), and more information about team(TSG, OF, P1, LF their's full name and sponsor, etc)?

This is posted by one of the Chinese casters involved in running Kung Fu Cup, Master's Coliseum etc. If they aren't launching until April I'm sure they will announce something properly soon, but until then they probably just want to keep you guys in the loop, which is nice considering most Chinese events don't tell us much. But I'm pretty sure you can look at this as an "it's happening" thing

I only know TSG is TSGaming.
|
This must be the most important event of CNSC in 2019.
|
per season 290k rmb probably. TSG➡️TSGaming some teams mainly manage LOL PUBG and DOTA.Sorry I don't know them clearly. I am a common Chinese SC2 fan.SCboy planed a Proleague-like tournement since May.2018.They did a lot for this tournement. SCboys are not only the most popular casts in China but also senior e-sports employees in China.I think this tournement is well-prepared
|
According to Xiaose,the 'Two more' proleague might be JinAir and Splyce.We shall see a rather high level competition.
|
Really good news, even better with jinair and splyce

Whoooo!
That's some good news.
|
well this LOOKS cool however I am very sceptical
|
Please please please include english streams! There are alot of caster who would jump on this for sure
|
Hopefully Blizzard won't be able to screw this one as it is in China...
Looking forward to it!
|
any chance for more foreign players can join a chinese team to play in this team league
|
Keeping my fingers crossed here and hoping for the best. This is the kind of boost we can really use right now, and if things are handled properly and professionally with a decent amount of publicity beforehand, I could really see this bringing in a lot of new people to the SC2 community, specifically from China!

$43,000 not bad. Sounds like great news for those players involved. Anything that can help sustain more careers & keep this game going. Great news!

Rooting for Time, id love for that guy to break through to the top tier.

If anyone does not know it, this poster himself, is Huang Xudong, nickname "Xiaose", one of the Chinese caster group "SCBoy", who dominate more than 90% of SC2 casting in China and they are an official Blizzard SC2 announcer. He is also the organizer and sponsor of the weekly Kung Fu Cup and Master Coliseum. He has been talked about he was planning to launch a Chinese team league also involves foreign teams and players in his stream for months. He also worked hard to persuade some Chinese e-sport clubs focus on other games to open their SC2 division. Some Korean players, like parting, fantansy, and solar, have already joined a Chinese team Since he posted this information himself on TL, I trust him and I believe the preparation is about done. I hope everything would go well and looking forward.
By the way, TSG (Triumphant Song Gaming), a Chinese e-sport club focus on League of Legend, announces the open of its Starctaft 2 division today. The Chinese Cloudy (as manager), Apologize, Hickok, and Korean Solar and herO are the founding members. https://www.weibo.com/u/6262205010
|
Great support from fans of SCboys stream! We are all 猛男 tonight!
Btw, is this tournament opened to out-of-China teams?
|
I hope the organisers could put more effort into raising production quality which has historically been notorious for Chinese tournaments. It would be a shame if you have great players and sponsors but the production couldn't keep up.

The same organizer ruined NSL and who knows if this team league will repeat its mistake or not?

Depending on terms with the offline portion, our team could be interested in joining this team league while signing a Chinese player. Who can we talk to regarding this?

Chinese Events organisers do not really have too much interest in attracting overseas audience from my experience. Just at the moment there is NEXT offline tournament of Korean players and Chinese players going on you cannot even find a post of it here.

I guess it takes some time for Chinese to improve both their event production quality and pro-gamer's competence. Anyway, they are interested in SC2 and would love to invest in this right now, which definitely benefits the community. And if more and more top teams and players join the pro-league, castings for overseas audience won't be a problem. The only problem is time difference
|
This all sounds very promising. I would definitely watch something with a similar format as the discontinued KeSPA ProLeague.
|
both of you are PM'd. Thanks.
|
|
It's been confirmed by neotv's (one of the league's operator and organizer) editor that Psistorm will join the league several days ago. Also, scboy's wechat account just announced that they received an official email from Jin Air that they are willing to participate as well, which would be the 8th, or the last team to join the league's first season.
|
Wow, Jin Air is the real deal! It was interesting before, now it's just great!
|
I wonder if Splyce will join.
|
They'd better deliver season 1 nicely. The original NSL league was pretty good but it still fell apart last year.

However, I could not find any official announcement or other related information except the chart. I searched Chinese community and they are surprised by the news as well.
This is confusing.Maybe Huang Xudong made a mistake?Or GSL was wrong.

Don't think there are any more notable mainlanders left for them to pick, They might as well pick a player from HK, TW or Macau. Rex? Gogojoey? I don't know. Has has a team, Nice is banned till June.

That would be the first new player on JAGW since 2016, right?

A regular league like this could have the efffext of increasing the quality of the Chinese scene extremely quickly with the whole “get good or get roflstomped by Jin Air” thing going on

If PSISTORM Gaming agrees to participate in it, there are no Chinese players, too. Does CNProtoss return PSISTORM Gaming? Just I guess.

Has any new information come about this? I saw PartinG on a team called Player One, that’s one of things we already knew from this tourney, yes?

LF drops out due to a lack of potential players, whatever that means. First season will be played with only 7 teams.
|
Leenock, Impact, Losira and Patience are without team, but ok. Maybe there will be opportunities for new players with the teamleague.

Seems weird to me to require a Chinese player on your team just to compete. Whats the reasoning for that?
|
I would say it's because the teamleague is run by chinese organizers. It sounds fair to me.

As what I know, originally this tournament is organized by Chinese, sponsored by Chinese companies, played by Chinese teams, the goal is to raise the level of Chinese players and the main viewer would be Chinese viewers. Since there isn't enough Chinese players at professional level, some Chinese teams recruit non-Chinese foreigners to compete the tournament. Then the organizers decided to open up globally and some foreigner teams had interest to join.
