The ninth season of WGTour Clanleague kicks off tomorrow, and apart from the WGTCL oldies MicroGamerZ, uT) and RSGaming, we also see the two new multi-gaming clans MeetYourMakers and Play.it. This season will be one of the most interesting ones so far. GosuGamers have reviewed all the teams and the upcoming matches for tomorrow.
With all the new multi-gaming clans who have recruited many of the players previously playing in top teams in the StarCraft community (such as SoL and pG), the community is highly interested of seeing how they can cope with the already existing teams out there. Tomorrow, they will find out. Two of the new teams that have been created in the past couple of weeks - mYm.sc and Play.it is taking part in the most prestigous StarCraft clanleague - the WGTour Clanleague, a well known league which has eight seasons in the back. Tomorrow the ninth season starts, and GosuGamers will of course give you the latest information about it all.
RSGaming |
RSGaming - Reigning Champions
RSGaming is with no doubt one of the absolute best North American teams in the StarCraft scene for a very long time. With international top players such as Testie, Veg and BlackJack, the team lost only one match in the previous reason. Reason for that was because of the black sheep TT1 who was caught hacking in that match and therefore lost by default. RSGaming has won the WGTCL twice, once back in Season 2 and just now in the previous Season 8. In an interview over at » WGTour, rS.Wisdom says that if they only bring a decent lineup, they should be able to take their third WGTCL championship title.
Nuit Blanche |
Nuit Blanche
This mainly French team is most likely not all that familar to many, but don't let that trick you. This team will not be one to underestimate. They are packed full of talent with their most notable player being TheZerg. He's currently ranked B3 with a record of 60 - 14 and can be called one of the best from his team and his country. However, this will not be an easy task and will test their team's strength to compete in Division 1 against the best from around the world.
Clan uT) |
Clan uT)
WGTCL is nothing new to this team. They have been in existence for several years and have had players compete in WGT for several seasons. With players like Clawson - WCG Finland 2004 winner and OctobeRZerG - winner of WCG Macedonia in 2005 they will be a tough foe. A team that has gone through several lineup changes since they started. Each player on the team is exceptionally skilled and have the ability to bring their team many victories in the future.
Play.it |
Play.it
This team spawned with many of the best players from SoL. Recently, they have joined the Play.it organization who has helped in making one of the best WarCraft III teams in the world. They have a tremdous lineup which includes many WCG winners, StaR, Cloud, and Vanilica who will be attending the WCG finals in Singapore this year. Also, they have chose to add the ex-pG veteran sataNik who can safely be called the best player from Greece.

A team made up of the best players from Latin America and beyond. They showed that they can compete with the best giving RSGaming their only loss last season. With many great players including KNiF - WCG Chile 2004 winner who was able to get past the group stages. If this team continues to play well in clanwars they will be a serious force to be reckoned with.
MicroGamerZ |
MicroGamerZ
A team that has been in Division 1 for several season and still continues to show their strength. Eventhough, they have had their up's and down's in the past will are another team not to be taken lightly.

Another team that was formed from two ex-pG members: Draco and Raven. This is their first appearence in WGTCL displaying some of the players outside of South Korea. With players like the TLT Season 2 winner A2 and the WCG China 2004-2005 champion Pj they can easily compete well against any team in the league. This will be a great time for mYm to prove that they are the best in the division.
Team iX. |
Team iX.
Another team that's new to Division 1. Mainly a German/Hungarian team they have shown that they can compete with some of the best.
