IMPORTANT NOTE: The below content is my ideal setup for this league, which will hopefully happen at some point in the future. Due to the fact that we most likely will not have 8 teams interested in a cash buy in for the first tournament, registration is currently free. This is reinforced below, as I hope to get my point across.
Team tQ is proud to present a new team tournament league. This league is very similar to the GSTL - week long, 8 team CW tournament that happened a few weeks ago. This new league offers pro-amateur teams the chance to compete in one time, buy-in tournaments that offer a prize pool to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams each and every time it starts up. The tournament will likely take place over a 2 week period, with the potential to hold them once a month, or even twice a month if there is enough interest. All matches will be refereed and live cast.
As many teams on the professional-amateur level currently hold little to no sponsorship, this league of tournaments will give teams the ability to compete for a rather large prize pool on a more frequent basis for a reasonable buy in. This allows teams to maintain focus on the prize much easier than the longer, more drawn out team leagues like CEVO and ESEA.
The ultimate goal: + Show Spoiler +If we have 8 teams interested in competing in the first tournament and then come back for future tournaments then there is potential for this league to turn into something more of a season with a series of 1 time tournaments with a point system awarded to teams placing in the semi-finals and above, where an invitational tournament will be held based off of the point system for a larger prize pool at the end of each season. Example: Season 1: Tournament 1, Tournament 2, Tournament 3, Tournament 4, Playoff Tournament (teams invited from the previous 4 tournaments based on point pool for an increased prize pool for winning). Season 2: Repeat above.

nice will be signing JA up.
no $$ involved to sign up right?
|
If there is enough interest to hold the first tournament for a $$ buy in, then we will. For right now registration does not require any money. Please visit our forums for more information and to register: www.teamtq.com/forums
Thanks!

The more team leagues the better - great initiative tQ!
|
Good work Mike, we're really looking forward to this. tQ Fighting!
|
Thank you sir!
Update and bump back to le top~
We now have 9 teams registered. Can I please get 7 more so we can hold two divisions?
Keep the apps coming!~~
|
Interesting! vVv may be interested.. Ill have to ask around (=
|
Noxie! JOIN UP! It would be great to have another top team in the mix.
I am going to close registration March 5th as of now. If we only need 2-3 more teams to make 16, I will extend it a few more days. Otherwise we'll hold qualifiers and get this thing underway for mid march.
Keep the apps coming!

Cryptic Gaming [Team cG] Signed up
|
Is it alright if we make some modifications to the roster? I may have a player who's dropping out.
|
Excellent, thanks for the support!
Keep the teams coming guys!~
|
You may modify the roster but once we begin qualifiers you'll be stuck with who you have. So until then feel free to change it up as you like. Once I actually copy everything down for my records they will be set in stone... aka start of qualifiers.
|
So are the wars going to be just like NGL or Winners league format? It says bo7 so is it just going to be an expanding NGL format (winners league for bw players), maybe include a fake battle report to see how it looks.
|
This is what it will look like: Standard CW KOTH style:
Team 1: Blue Green Yellow Red
Team 2: Jim Tom Alan Bill
Match 1: Jim vs Blue - blue wins (Tom picks next map) Match 2: blue vs Tom - Blue wins (Alan picks next map) Match 3: Blue vs Alan - Alan wins (Green picks next map) Match 4: Alan vs Green and so on.
First team to claim 4 wins in a bo7 takes that set.
Your starting 5 do not need to be played in their set order. Anyone can choose to take the next game, it is up to the team to decide who they want to play. And it is up to that player to choose the next map (on the losing team).
|
okay so yeah this is NGL (Winners league) style, thanks!
|
team tG Toxic Gaming would like to register xD
|
nS applied on your forum
|
juss call it korean style
|
Too many different names for one type of setup. It is now TQTL style
2 Spots left until registration closes for this round!
If it fills up before you can register, fill out an APP anyway for the next tournament round!
|
1 spot left to get this thing going. I will be devising a new format to allow for all 16 teams to compete and 1 winner for the first round. This is going to be one epically ridiculous tournament.
Don't wait to sign up!~
|
Registration is now closed for round 1. I will be sending emails out to all team managers in the next few days with details on how this will go down and when and where and all of that fun stuff.
Thanks to everyone for prompt registry!
If your team did not get a chance to register, throw an application in anyway in case a team drops out. You may also submit your team now for the next tournament round of season 1.
Thanks!

tG does not leave we just update roster plz? Certain events has changed who is in our lineup.
|
Assassin, I am confused by the comment, but you may update your roster until we have an official start date set. I will then post a date when rosters are final (likely around March 7th).
Thanks!
First match brackets and schedule will be sent out this weekend, Sunday by the latest.

First match brackets and schedule will be sent out this weekend, Sunday by the latest. I said that because some of my best members decided to be douche bags and leave and then join you guys. That's why I have to "change" the roster.
|
I see. Sorry to hear that man. Nothing intentional on our part, but that is weak. I'm not familiar with who you're talking about. We haven't recruited anyone bearing a tG tag.
|
Brackets are now up. You can find them here: http://binarybeast.com/xSC21102280 Or a link is posted in the OP.
I will be closing roster changes March 10th and we will be starting this thing March 17th. I expect it to take 2-3 weeks to finish. I will be sending out an email to all team managers within the next few days on how everything is going to go down.
Thanks!
|
so the brackets are up but we dont start playin our matches yet right?
|
Can't wait to see the league start. Good luck to everyone and thanks for signing up! Hopefully I'll be able to commentate most of these matches.
|
Correct. I will be emailing everyone soon with details on when everything gets started.
Basically I will be coordinating match times between managers of opposing teams with myself so that we can set up casting for each match so others may watch, and make sure that every game is ref'd properly.
As I will be doing the majority of communication and scheduling for every team and match I have decided to run the majority of this during my spring break where I will have the most flexibility to fit into the competing team's schedules.
You'll have an email with more details by Wednesday.
Cheers!~
|
So can our total roster of possible players to use throughout the season only include 7 different people? Not that it would be a huge problem, just making sure I understand the rules correctly.
|
Exactly. Once you put 7 names on the roster, those will be your set 7 players through any given round once it starts. We intend to have 4 rounds and a grand final round, for a total of 5 per season.
However depending on how long each round takes to get through, this may be shortened or increased to allow for better preparation time. This goes the same as I expect the league to increase as the season progresses. Team registration will open back up for the start of round 2, where we will likely offer seeds to the top 4 teams and then hold qualifiers for the remaining teams hoping to compete.
Additionally I am throwing around the idea of allowing a roster change/update period between the round of 8 and the round of 4 (semi finals) to those teams who are playing in the finals. As I expect each round to take around 3 weeks, this will allow semi finalist teams to change out players if they need to in order to move through the rest of each round.
I will have more details on everything sent out either tonight or some point tomorrow to all team managers on how this will all work.
Thanks!

See you keep saying you will email details and changes to the team leaders but cG has not received anything from you. Maybe just a mistake or overlook? Thanks in advance. If you need my email again please pm.
|
To all participating teams: I have just sent out an email concerning the scheduling of Round 1. Please read through it thoroughly so you understand everything, and respond accordingly so we can get this league off to a smooth start.
Please feel free to PM, email, or get at me on bnet with any questions you have!
Thanks! tQwinteR
|
Zeroku, I am sorry for the delay. I believe I was only off in one of my posts about emailing people. Please be patient though I am a fifth year architecture student by day, so sometimes I get swamped.

It's just kind of known that "korean style" means winner's style. But I agree saying winner's style is clearer to people who may be unfamiliar with the term.
I'm looking forward to this tourney!
|
I'm glad to hear that! It will be one of many!
|
Update: I need all managers to read the email I sent out on March 1st/2nd and to make contact with their opposing team. If you don't hear back from them by email, please find them on battle.net. I need to know when you your two teams can play between the two days provided. If I don't hear back from you by the 7th or have your match date/time by then, your team will forfeit.
Thanks, tQwinteR
|
After some deliberation I have changed the schedule for the post. You may find it in the original post. Please read over it and make sure you are clear.
|
Hey i'd like so sign up my team :
Fearz eSports.
We will soon have a manager so it will be easier to schedule.
|
Awesome, i need to organize everything for Round 2. I will likely be spreading the word for registration for that around.... the end of march
|
Only Three days away!
