COME ONE, COME ALL!

NEVER BEFORE SEEN ANYWHERE!

TEAM LIQUID PRESENTS: TEAMLIQUID STARLEAGUE 9!

Team Liquid announces a show-stopping tournament for the ages, TeamLiquid StarLeague 9!

As part of the ESL Pro Tour Circuit, this once-in-a-lifetime tournament showcases 32 ferocious Starcraft players from around the globe. This great group of athletes will show us all they’ve got to become the undisputed champion of TSL 9 and a marvel to the world. Best of all, this tournament will be happening OFFLINE, in Utrecht, Netherlands!

That's right, folks. For the first time* in TSL history, Team Liquid will host the final weekend at the spectacular Alienware Training Facility! The top 12 players within the competition are granted a paid flight across land and sea.

This satisfying, superb, and sublime circus of life and color would be impossible without our marvelous sponsors: HyperX, Coinbase, ESL, Twitch, Secretlab, IMC, Monster and of course, the always dependable Shopify!

All of us at Team Liquid are looking forward to presenting our most spectacular grand tournament yet, so step right up and learn more about TSL 9 below!

Tournament Details

Shopify TSL 9 is a 32-player double elimination tournament awarding $30,000 USD and 2540 EPT points. All players will battle through the double-elimination bracket from July 29 to August 7, with games happening every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The remaining 12 players will be flown to the Netherlands to compete offline at Team Liquid's Alienware Training Facility from September 2 to 4.

32 players double-elimination bracket, seeded by EPT points (visual bracket)

  • Best of 3 (Bo3) Upper Semifinal and Lower Round 4
  • Best of 5 (Bo5) Upper Semifinal /Lower Round 4/ Lower Round 5/ Lower Quarter Final / Lower Semifinal
  • Best of 7 (Bo7) Upper Finals, Lower Final, and Grand Final (Winner’s advantage)
Our previous TSL champion, (Wiki)Rogue, declined his invitation. Therefore, all 32 spots are open through qualifiers.

Qualifiers

32 player spots divided amongst 14 regional and server qualifiers.

  • Tournament platform: Challonge (Tournament Sign-Up Page)
  • All matches are Best of 3 (Bo3) with Best of 5 (Bo5) qualifying matches
  • All qualifiers seeded by EPT Points

For double-elimination qualifiers with over 16 participants: the bracket will be single-elimination up to the Round of 16 (Ro16). From Round of 16 onward, the bracket will be double-elimination.

Community casters who would like to cover the qualifiers should fill out this community caster form at least 24 hours before the specified qualifier match(es) begin(s). You must also be a member of the Discord server with your identifying nickname. For non-English coverage of the main event (beginning July 29), please fill out the form as well, and we’ll be in touch after the qualifiers wrap up.

TSL at AWTF-EU

While the facility will not feature a live audience, we’re delighted to bring the last week of the tournament offline to Team Liquid’s AWTF-EU office! The facility features workstations and practice scrim rooms furnished with high-quality equipment, where our players will compete. It’s also where Team Liquid’s StarCraft 2 team trains and boot camps. Our production crew for TSL 9, Waveform, is full of long-time StarCraft fans who are eager to bring TSL to life. Look forward to seeing StarCraft players run rampant in our office!

(Psst. Hey. Even though TSL won’t have a live audience, we hope everyone watches TSL with great company. If you are interested in organizing a BarCraft for TSL, please get in touch! We’d love to support your endeavors.)

We’ll have more information to share within the coming weeks! If you have questions about the tournament, we’ll be glad to answer them here or on our official TSL Discord server. Thanks again to our gracious sponsors and your continued support of StarCraft 2, TSL, and Team Liquid.

It's amazing that after 14 years of TSL history we finally have an offline version! Super happy we can be part of the event once more and I'll be excited to watch!

— Dario "TLO" Wuensch
Head of Player Development, Shopify Rebellion

Thanks for making it all the way to the end of the post! Have some Liquid+ Points, and we'll see you online!

*: Due to the difference in scale, we are briefly choosing to overshadow TSL 3’s grand finals.

We've got a lot of long-time fans of StarCraft here at Waveform and we're all very excited to be a part of TSL 9. I've personally been watching since the very first TeamLiquid Starleague and been in and around the community since BW so you better believe we'll be pulling out all the stops for the LAN!

Having worked with both Waveform and TSL in the past, I could not be more excited for this event. I know that both organizations will put forth the best effort to make this one of the most memorable StarCraft events of all time!

I think all former champions should have their own special qualifiers bracket. And I mean all champions including SC1.

Yay!!! Great stuff

As a side note though, any chance we can allow the visa-restricted Korean/Chinese (Russian?) a chance to play from home?

Why are Korean qualifiers single elimination while the rest are double elimination?
Don't be oblivious of the obvious
