It is with great pleasure that we are able to announce WardiTV Team League Season 7 - the first season of the team league under it's new branding with WardiTV. The Team League started late in 2013 and three years on it is incredible to see how far it has come and how far it is continuing to grow.
Every season we like to push the team league one step further. Between our last two major seasons (4 and 6) we increased production quality by a large margin and we also covered over double the amount of match (88 matches broadcast in First Division, up from 40). We dabbled in extra content creation and continued to refine a system which made the league enjoyable for players and viewers alike.
Season 7 is going to be no different as we once again push the boundaries of the team league. With so many resources now available to us we are very happy to announce the Americas Division, which is designed to help teams in the Americas region to compete on a regular basis. We are also putting more emphasis once again on how we tell the story of the team league. Expect more highlights, interviews, recaps and more coming out of us this season.
We welcome back True Esports as one of the sponsors for this season of the event, a team who have shown us how much they can grow over the past seasons, finishing RO8 in Season 6. They are the team of Elazer, one of the Blizzcon quarter finalists and we are thrilled to have them back with us for another season.
We also welcome Matcherino as a sponsor of the team league. Matcherino will help us with the base prize pool of the competition via coupon codes on their website (coming soon) and will allow for the first time fans to contribute directly to the prize pool of the team league. We have some cool benefits lined up for supporters on Matcherino.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support the team league, by playing, sponsoring, watching or however else. We adore this tournament and because of your help we are able to continue pushing it further with every single season. We hope you enjoy Season 7, we know we will.
The team league you know and love returns as the Global Divisions. Three Divisions allowing teams of all skill levels to come and test themselves against each other in weekly competition. We have added some quick pieces of information for each division below, but we urge you to read the full Rules & Information link to answer all of your questions.
First Division $2500 Base Prize Pool $25 Entry Fee 20 Teams Qualifier / Invite Only
Second Division $300 Prize Pool $7 Entry Fee Unlimited Teams Open Entry Suggested for teams with multiple Master league players.
Third Division $25 Prize Pool $0 Entry Fee Unlimited Teams Open Entry Suggested for teams with primarily Bronze-Diamond league players.
New for Season 7, the Americas Division aims to bring the Team League experience to the Americas. We will be applying the same format as we have done for the European (Global) league, with no region lock but a preference to NA time zones & servers. Teams will be able to compete in both a Global Division AND the Americas Division. We again urge you to read the Rules & Information link for full information before registering.
Americas Division $350 Base Prize Pool $10 Entry Fee Unlimited Teams Open Entry Suggested for teams who can compete in American Evening time zones.
I'd like to ask if a player can play on two different divisions, for an example, if we register for the Americas division and the Third division, can we have players on both rosters?

Hey,
The same player may play in only one of the Global Divisions as well as the Americas Division.
So yes, they can play in Americas & the Global Third Division, but they would not be able to play in both the Global Second Divisions & Global Third Division.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Hi, we already submit our team info as well as the registration fee, you we have received any email or feedback about our payment. Wonder whether our registration info already reached the organizer or not
Really exciting news! Hopefully the first 6 teams from Season 6 Group 8 and first 8 from Group B will get invites - they really put good fights last season.

Hi Wardi,
Thanks for informing, I've got the e-mail yesterday :D
We have made some adjustments to the dates to allow for what we believe will be a cleaner sign-up process.
We have pushed the closing date of First Division & First Division Qualifiers back to the 23rd of November. We have hence moved the qualifier dates to the 25th, 26th, 27th, 29th and 30th of November (the plan is that we will not need to use all of these dates.)
Sign-ups for all other divisions now close on the 2nd of December, with the league beginning on the 5th of December.
If you have any questions or concerns let me know!
Hey Wardi, do you by any chance have the players who played in the 2nd day of the qualifier with a list of who beat who? I saw that liquipedia just has the overall team score but I just wanted to know if you also had the players so it could be added to aligulac. Thanks!
I think I've sufficiently embarassed myself for the day.
It's a bad feeling when you have a build planned and then you change your mind at the start of the game and you get completely bopped. I feel like now I can relate to progamers way better than before.

Yeah their streamer had to leave unfortunately, Inflicted had the best game of the day for sure. There's no set date for the next match yet
Also in absence of DARKING and Seeker I was in charge of things. But I didn't even get to apply the things I learned by watching the patented KT coaching.

Ok let me know when it's announced
I mean as long as you guys play the same lineup all the time and use the same ace player every time it should be close enough to KT coaching principles.

I'll let you know, but who knows if there's gonna be a cast.
Steam Team = Rotti, ToD, iNcontrol, Demu, Nathanias and Pig, in case anybody missed it.
I like how it's a bunch of casters/streamers and then you have PiG (who I guess counts as a semi-pro at this point?) and actual progamer Demuslim.
I don't think Pig counts as semi pro at this point tbh. He is a full time content creator with casting gigs. Bascially like Day9 back then. He just does dailies, casts, does his own little HSC, plays random and also dropped out of Nationwars to let real players compete instead.
Demu is funny though and will definitely carry the team .

I count PiG as semi because he played WCS events (and qualifiers) this year. If he doesn't try any next year I'll put him into the caster category

That would be soO great
Although what better day to announce this than the day he gets out of his Ro32 group in first place? So maybe we'll soOn get different news than what we were expecting.

What happened? I looked away for 2 minutes damn it.
Namshar was doing a speedling elevator all-in on 16 drones and then it turned out Drogo didn't put the adept in his wall on hold so the speedlings just walked into his base and killed everything.

When Seigifried brought this up in our Skype group for this league I was thinking "You have got to be shitting me, why would they call themselves that" and only then did I learn that it's an actual company with this name who picked them up.
Stream Team already down a progamer and a former progamer. Can they bring it back? The odds aren't in their favor but maybe they can make something happen.

Nooooooooooooooooo
Continuously poor viewership & no interest from any sponsors. Crowd funding has also not worked as can be seen this season on the Matcherino pages. What more can we do 'ey

Edit: Also it's cool to see how things have turned around. Wardi getting more and more viewers and the Season 8 pre-season already on the way. Well deserved!
