Brought to the North American scene by the likes of Counter Logic Gaming and WellPlayed Productions, a new semi-professional ladder is within reach.
Similarly to the TSM Invitationals, CLG will be attempting to bolster the strength of the NA teams in preprations for Season 3. Not similar to The Solomid Series, however, the CLG will be open for registration. That isn't to say it's without qualifications though, as it would seem you need a certain ladder ranking as stated below:
"To compete your team must do the following: Be at the top of the ladder by Jan 13th 11:59PM PST. There is no cutoff rank. However, this is a 16-team tournament, so you'll probably need at least 1800 Elo in the 5v5 ladder to get in! Teams are accepted from highest to lowest rank. Register your team here[4] Not have players on multiple applying teams."
The tournament kicks off on January 21st and ending on January January 27th.
