The top chinese teams have united and established the organization "ACE", this organization will protect the interests of the teams and rights of the chinese players (Much like the western organization G7, which is inactive today). The following teams will be part of this organisation:

- World Elite
- Invictus Gaming
- TyLoo
- DK Gaming
- LGD
- PanDarea Gaming
- AgFox
- ForLove
- DT_Club
- TongFu

The ACE Organization will release future news trought their microblog at: http://t.qq.com/Ace-sports

This could be fantastic. Whether it's hit or miss if the rest of the world decides to follow suit we have something to learn from.

Well we don't see enough of Chinese players these days. I can only hope that this move will increase their exposure, rather than limit it further.

So it is somewhat like an SC2Con? That's good, these progamers need representation and someone to lobby for them.

No, as I said in the OP It's a G7 rather than a KeSPA. Since I believe KeSPA is state-owned, and this is ran by the organization owners much like G7 was in western esports.

For those that dont know what G7 was, read this: http://www.g7teams.com/page/aboutg7/

A healthy organization should promote the Chinese team quite well, hoping to see them establish a league soon too

Good move. The only successful Chinese SC2 player I know so far is Xigua and that doesn't seem to be right when talking about a massive country like China. Hopefully SC2 in China will make a breakthrough through this alliance! GLHF ACE (name is bit off/odd though)

Conspicuous absence of Ehome as far as Chinese pro-gaming organizations go.

Hopefully this means we will get to see more of the Chinese players in international events!

I though this thread would be about a Chinese Air Force team.

Will these region associations cause conflict for inter-regional relations? Like a Chinese rep vs. Korean rep vs. etc. If everyone has a similar goal in mind this would be fine, but what if objectives differ and leads to fracturing in the long run?

We really need to see the Chinese players on a more regular basis.

No iG or am I just reading that wrong? :X Don't think they're active in SC2 but they have a pretty big dota presence.

All in all a great move to further Chinese esports.
