General Info
So by now many SC2 players have seen or played Zealot Hockey from being on the in-game arcade spotlight or through the different casters that have casted the game such as ChanmanV's Wednesday Night Sprites and SCMothership or by the official Blizzard Arcade Spotlight. Even Carbot Animations knows the epic fun to be had in Zealot Hockey.
League Playoffs
The grueling 8 week season is now over and the first Zealot Hockey League playoffs is set, with the top 4 teams competing for the 1st Tassadar Cup this upcoming weekend.
Semi-finals run from 4-7pm EST Saturday June 21st (best of 3 series) and Finals at 4-6pm EST Sunday June 22nd (best of 5 series).
Team Capsules:
Korhal Warpigs - The favorites. Have coasted by the regular season to a league best 12-4, including a 9 game winning streak in the middle of the season. Will be tough to beat.
Winning Strategy: Listen to Taylor Swift.
Tarsonis City Tigers - The firecrackers. Have the talent to beat anyone in the league, but are infamous for not getting along with each other and tend to blow up at teammates.
Winning Strategy: Keep their players from killing each other.
Mar Sara Threat Agents - The dark horses. Started the season 0-5 only to bounce back and finish 10-5-1 for the season. Got the season rolling with their starting lineup all together.
Winning Strategy: Make maximum use of the (S) stop ability.
Zerus Redlings - The underdogs. Started great but rarely had their starting lineup on the field and suffered as the season went on. No one knows how good they can be if their starting lineup present, but do they have enough game time together even if they do?
Winning Strategy: Blame lag.
