The German livestreaming channel RocketBeans TV just announced that they will host three cups in the new Archon Mode of the LotV beta.
In every cup, 4 Archon Teams will be facing off in competition for over 2.000€ in prize money. The 4th placed team of a cup will not play the next cup and will be replaced by an Archon Team voted in by the community.
Sunday, 07.06., 16:00 - First cup Sunday, 21.06., 16:00 - Second cup Sunday, 12.07., 16:00 - Third cup
The teams for the first cup will be:
HasuObs & Socke White-Ra & DIMAGA Stephano & TargA Bunny & DeMusliM
The matches will be broadcasted in German by Honor and Mental Mimicry from bonjwa.de. There are also plans for English coverage, but no details about that have been announced yet.
Michael Petrescu, senior producer of Rocket Beans TV stated: “We want to take a trial run on presenting eSports from our point of view, in our own way. If this concept works, we can imagine to enlarge the eSports segment, by hosting even bigger events frequently.“
About RocketBeans TV: RocketBeans TV formely produced a gaming show on German Television for MTV, before it got canceled after eight years last December. They proceeded to launch a 24 hour livestreaming program on Twitch, which launched in January of this year. So far, they hosted two StarCraft 2 shows: Straight 2 Gold, where two of the channels main hosts, Simon and Budi, attempted to reach the 2v2 Gold League in SC2 HotS and Call of Budi, in which the host Budi plays matches against viewers. The former German pro Honor supported them as a coach and host for both of these formats already. They also had TLO on as a guest for their talkshow recently.

Assuming this was for the Archon Cup, obviously no confirmation yet, but shows they're not just messing around when it comes to English casters!

Hello guys,
they've posted an FAQ(german, english version pending) on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/rocketbeans/comments/37wofi/rbtv_archon_cup_faq/ Google translate german->english should work fine for now, but the really interesting part is this:
Frage: "Nehmen wir an, ich habe ausgezeichnete Fremdsprachenkenntnisse und möchte euren Stream übertragen, darf ich das oder an wem muss ich mich wenden?" Hauke: "Ohne Erlaubnis unseren Stream übertragen und dabei kommentieren verstößt gegen die Regeln von Twitch und wird demnach auch nicht toleriert. Wenn man allerdings Erfahrung im Casten hat und einen spannenden Sprachraum abdeckt, kann man uns gern kontaktieren. Dafür bietet sich kontakt@rocketbeans.de an. Wir sind offen für weitere Casts!" Frage: "Gibt es bereits einen englischsprachigen Cast?" Hauke: "Leider nein. Wir führen zahlreiche Gespräche und tun unser bestes, allerdings sind wir noch recht unbekannt im eSport und müssen daher etwas häufiger klopfen."
1st answer states that if you want to cast in any other language(their main stream will be german), just write a mail to kontakt@rocketbeans.de and contact them about it. They are open for any kind of streams but want to ensure that that it's a quality cast(so helps if you did casts before). Second answer states that they don't have an english stream yet, so you might actually be able to hop on that if you want to!
Also, format will be similar to champions league group phase & prize money will be 500€ for first, 250€ for second (per playday).

i hope Simon and Budi will also have some cameos as hosts, based on their "Game One" and "Giga" experience they really are on top for that amusement stuff anyway =P
