Now that our Academy roster has been finalized it is time to start showcasing its talent. Currently there are no new team leagues ready to start a new season just quite yet. We unfortunately missed the cut off for URTL season 2 by a couple of weeks. Outside of WCS and without daily tournaments like Playhem we have few avenues at the moment to showcase our roster. For that reason Clarity will be hosting a series of showmatches between our Academy and the likes of other Academies in the NA and EU regions.

Seeing as Clarity Academy is the new kid on the block, we thought it would be fitting to challenge the OG Starcraft 2 Academy over at Complexity Gaming. They were the first NA team to introduce the Academy platform to Starcraft 2 and have made big things happen for the likes of Sasquatch and Goswser over the last two years. Let’s see if their current roster is ready for Clarity Academy!

We’re putting up $100 for every showmatch just to raise the stakes a bit. Tune in on Saturday 5/11 at 9PM EST for the showmatch. It will be cast and covered by our very own Wyrd and ZombieGrub! You will find all of the details below.

These showdowns will be recurring to some extent, but not on any particular, set schedule. Our next opponent is already being scheduled. If you’re interested in challenging us, we would be more than happy to oblige. Feel free to shoot an email over to: clarityacademy@gmail.com if you would like any more information or would like to set something up!

As stated above, our first opponent for the Academy Showdown series will be oldest running Academy in the NA Starcaft 2 scene, if not in the global Starcraft 2 scene: Complexity Academy.

Complexity has done a great job the last couple of years fostering talent in North America, graduating the likes of Goswser and Sasquatch. Their current roster boasts a talented line up as well. This weekend you will have the pleasure of seeing any one of the seven players from the Complexity roster:

Complexity Roster:

Protoss:
AGIANTSMURF
Duster
Poo
Kyo

Zerg:
FireZerg
Nocreativity
Midday

Terran:
SnixSnipe
Kiom


While the Clarity Academy is extremely new, it’s line up is also incredibly solid. You may have seen quite a few of these players stand out in the recent WCS NA qualifiers; both the Premier and Challenger divisions.

Clarity Roster:

Protoss:
Bails
Bones

Zerg:
Mystery
Saikou
TBo

Terran:
Badcop
ElliGE
ILoveMKP
Intense

Players have up to 5 minutes in between games to take a break, choose next map, etc.
All matches will be played on the NA server.
Cheating is not tolerated. We don’t expect it at this level, but here is a rule saying it will be dealt with if we find conclusive evidence that someone is hacking or stream cheating.
Any unlisted rule or disagreement must be communicated to a match admin prior the start of a match.
Match admins reserve the right to alter, change, add, or remove any rules at any point in time; within reason and without bias.

The prize pool and organization behind each showmatch is sponsored by Clarity Gaming. We believe that highlighting these up and coming players is essential to their growth in the industry as it was to those before them and those who will come after. We hope that through these showmatches we may garner more attention, visibility, and respect to these fantastic players; both within and outside of Clarity Gaming.

Should be a good match! More than a BO7 would've been nice though. I think PL format would be quite interesting for a showmatch like this.

Hmm, that's funny because I asked Twixz for an up to date line up and he typed our Random for you. I knew you were Terran but assumed you switched because he made a point to type out "random," not just "R" in place of "T." Anyway, I update the roster and changed you to Terran.

Getting pretty pumped for this tomorrow! Going to be watching from the LAN where Poo will be playing from
