The matches involve seven games. Each team has a pre-line up. These line ups are secret and are announced just before the group match. There is as much strategy going on in the election of the line ups as there is in the actual competition.
The first player plays until he loses, then he is replaced by another one in his team. Theoretically one gamer from one team can end up playing and winning over each of the opposing team members. Boxer won his first two, then he lost to Sun Ki Kim and was thus replaced by ZergLee.
This League has 4 groups and in each group 2 pro-gamer teams partcipate, making that a total of 8 teams. These are the results of the first group. SKT T1 are the champions of the previous MBC Team Leaue and it looks like they are off to a head start this season too.

Please note that there were 4 Terran versus Terran games out of the seven matches! I personally love to watch this match up but I know many out there think it is perhaps the most boring match up to watch, at least according to many polls about this subject. Whatever the case at least there are no complaints about race "imbalances."
