As we were promised, casting crew, maps and format are now available for us to see and to feel so much excited about new TeamLiquid StarLeague 2! Ladder starts 21st of November and we just can't wait! This little prologue is nothing more then intro to the pictures that says more then 1000 words so scroll down for more juicy information.
As you can see, we are in for a treat! Tasteless "Storm Observer" is here to provide us with his comments that are really enthusiastic and full of energy. His brother, Day[9] is also in pack so we will hear one of best USA Zergs speak up too. Chill with his spicy comments and pretty good knowing of StarCraft: Brood War strategy will also be joining the tea party and "StarCraft Wikipedia" - Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski will not miss the event that's for sure!
Some new maps and some older favorites. It seems pretty good stack and to be honest - for ladder stage we can't ask for better balance.
The loser of Nony vs #1 Ladder will be seeded into R3 of the Qualifiers
Ladder rules are following:
# Korean and Chinese IP addresses are prohibited (unless granted exemption by TSL Administration)
# All players must use ICCup Anti-Hack Launcher and abide by all ICCup rules. All ladder complaints and corrections will be handled through the normal ICCup procedures.
# TSL players may play ladder games against non-TSL players, provided those non-TSL players do not have TSL accounts.
# All players must create a new ICCup account and have the "TSL" tag in their names. Any accounts with games already played on them or without the TSL tag will not be allowed to join.
# No smurfing. For most players aiming to qualify for the TSL, there will be no doubt as to which ID to use. If you are unsure, use your most recognizable ID or your forum username. If you beleive that your chances of qualifying will be severely hampered by using your real I.D. you may contact a TSL staff member to apply for an exemption.
# No transferring of stats or playing in ICCup tournaments to gain points.
# On the final day of the ladder, players may only play another player to a difference of three games. For example, 3-0, 4-1, 5-2, 6-3 are all acceptable last day series scores against a single player, while 4-0 is not. Once the score reaches a three game margin for either player, the players must stop playing each other.
# No multiple or shared TSL accounts. You may have another ICCup account without a TSL tag, but that account cannot play games against TSL tagged players.
# All players who want to qualify for the TSL must save all replays from the ladder stage, and must send replay packs to TSL Administration in a timely fashion.
# We reserve the right to disqualify users for any violation of these rules. More details and rules about the Qualifier stage will be released as the ladder concludes.
