"Continue the Classic, Unleash the Passion"
Guys, I have some VERY exciting news for all of you guys.
China have a even higher level tournament than this one. This is one is actually called "2012 China SC:BW Forum Battles".
The REAL CSTL featured 30 teams instead of only 5 listed here.
Original Message From mcm_mingge: i have read you posts about SC in CHINA.And i want to tell you something about SC in CHINA; STL is short for StarCraft Team League,we have many starcraft amateur teams.You have found it ,almost 30.STL has held for 24 seasons ,not 23,and is in playoff these days .24th STL will end almost in 7,9.STL is divided into 3 groups.Group a,b,c.Every group consists of 10 teams. I think that you may be good at Chinese ,from this thread http://playsc.com/forum/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=281970&extra=page%3D1 ,It is forum battles,there are 5 famous forums about BW in china ,and they play against each other.. As for http://kan.games.sina.com.cn/u/play.php?uid=2446697112,,this thread is living the game.Many guys are living BW, SC is not dying in china.
In the future, I'll try keep you posted on the genuine STL!
P.S. I wish the mod can change the title to "2012 China SC:BW Forum Battles" now and move it to tournament section!

Oh yeah while we are on the subject of Foreign Tournaments, the Chinese actually still have many BW tournies with players like F91 (the one that defeated Idra) and FengZi (WCG Grand Finalist). By the looks of it, their servers categorizes each players by levels. F91 is level 16 but there are also many, many people who have attain the level status of "Professional" as a whole new class after level 19. So their level of play is fairly high imo.
I will post up an entire new thread later on any further details that allows TLers to watch their live streams/ VODs and etc.
Holy shit apparently there leagues are actually separated by 'Semi-Pro' and 'Full-time'

Seriously? I tried to delve towards the Chinese scene a little while ago and met a bit of a brick wall- it seems to be even harder to get near to than the Korean scene! Please follow this up, a lot of good can come of it 
Now Caihead have some very interesting news on the link: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=347791
and I have finally some free time on my hand and have some new information on Chinese StarCraft: Brood War scene and a bit of historical lesson of how I even managed to get myself to there in the first place.
Historical Encounter and Basic Understanding for the League

Because of my curiosity, I wondered around and messed with it a bit there and there. Now you are probably thinking "What the hell does this have to do with StarCraft?". Well it turns out that my cousin that gave me the computer was a huge fan of the game and 9 years back, he used it for netsurfing and such. So on the favorite/bookmark folder, there were around 8 Chinese Websites dedicated to Brood War/WarCraft/Age of Empire and pretty much anything RTS related from the golden age. Most of the sites are unactive and some of them are even expired as its mod probably have decided to not pay for the fees anymore. This is some paleontology stuff right there. However, on one of the Websites, it re-directed me to Playsc.com. Once the link appeared in front of me, the slogan reads "We only talk about SC". And I thought "Cool, something I can related to." Then as I navigated through the board, there was a thread that says "2012年中国星际争霸论坛水友赛" which vaguely translates to "2012 China StarCraft Team League" that goes by the abbreviation of STL. So then I digged deeper in this whole enigmatic presence of this league. And by my research, this is the 23rd 'STL' held to this day. The League spans for a total of 23 seasons. This is the thread by the way: http://playsc.com/forum/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=281970&extra=page%3D1It looks like the Chinese have their own system of hierarchy with the list provided. With a little bit more of digging closer to the core of the Interweb mantle, I have found another site with identical information pertaining to the league. The official website is at: http://www.8da.com/forum.phpIf you scroll down the link to the third section separated by the Blue Bars, you will find a subheading "STL战队专区", it means STL Team Forum. 30 teams are listed underneath. 30 is not a number that can go underestimated. As I aforementioned their method of ranking and going back to the tournament page (first link), there are 5 teams currently listed on the Participation list (more Teams are being contacted). There is also a link on 八达 vs 遥远 (8da vs Yaoyun), looks like forum battles and 确定 means confirmed by the teams just below that. Beside it, you can find http://kan.games.sina.com.cn/u/play.php?uid=2446697112 Which is the VOD of the first match played recently. You can check their level of play by watching the VOD.
