What is the Starchallenge?
Sources tell me that this is the brand new name for the former Challenge League, or Dual Tournament Round 1. For those not familiar with the Challenge League Format:
Every Wednesday, 4 players in every group will play a Dual Tournament style round robin on different maps. The players who advance from their group go on to the Dual Tournament (Qualifiers for the Starleague). A few changes have been implemented this season, such as the 4th place finisher of the previous starleague goes directly to the Starchallenge semi-finals, while the Round Robin has been changed to a Bracket Style, Bo3 format with, as said before, the fourth spot taken by the 4th place finisher in the last starleague.
