GosuGamers are proud to present our next upcoming league - GosuGamers Nordic League (SGNL)! The league will focus on the Nordic StarCraft scene, and invites everyone to participate, coming from 
Sweden, 
Denmark, 
Finland or 
Norway.
The league will start with national qualification tournaments where the Top 8 getsinvited to the league, which converts into a group play. After the first group play, another group play will take place, and from there á la OGN style, we are going to crown the GosuGamers Nordic League winner!
How does SGNL work?
In order to settle which 32 players are going to participate in SGNL, GosuGamers will host four different qualification tournaments, one for each of the four countries. The tournament system will be Double Elimination, and there's no limit on the number of players to participate. But only the Top 8 will move on to the next stage in the league, which will be played in groups; four groups consisting of two players from each nation will play each other, best of one. When all the group matches are done, the Top 2 will move on to the next stage - the semifinals. This is how they do in Korea, and this is a rare system in the European leagues, so this will be pretty interesting.
