THE FIRST CAPTAINS' TOURNAMENT!
THE FIRST CAPTAINS' TOURNAMENT!
You know all those cool dudes who run the D rank teams for the team leagues that are awesome? Well, it's time to find out once and for all until the next time which is the mightiest of them all!
On Thursday, Aug 15 8:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) the contenders for the throne will meet in a round of 8, best of 3, duking it out to see who will make the round of 4. Immediately after they will fight it out again in yet another best of 3. The finals and third place match will be a week later.
But who are these mysterious contenders?
L_Master, captain of Team All Kill Kings, the hero of the people, opera singer extraordinaire, and most honourable Protoss player of the D ranks!
Xkcd, captain of Team Sun Khan, amazing artist, superior talent, this guy taught Classic how to play Terran!
Floladriblere, captain of Team Airforce ACE of Spades, the furious Frenchman who out TvT's everyone, yet is even better at playing his main race of Protoss!
Pebble, captain of Team Sun Khan, hard as a rock, his back is strong from being a turtling Terran, you don't want to be caught between this guy and a hard place!
Squishy, captain of Team DeSPA, his race of Zerg may be a squishy one but when you're inundated with vast hordes of squishy stuff you won't be laughing then!
EchOne (aka prophecy_), captain of Team Courage, is really scary. And plays Protoss.
mummy plz halp meeeee
art_of_turtle, captain of team DeSPA, master of doing very little at all and still winning, this guy's an artist at staying put
Birdie, captain of Team Stealth Bunnies, look at him run, that's why you don't play Zerg noobie, they eat everything!
