IMPORTANT NOTE: The below content is my ideal setup for this league, which will hopefully happen at some point in the future. Due to the fact that we most likely will not have 8 teams interested in a cash buy in for the first tournament, registration is currently free. This is reinforced below, as I hope to get my point across.
Team tQ is proud to present a new team tournament league. This league is very similar to the GSTL - week long, 8 team CW tournament that happened a few weeks ago. This new league offers pro-amateur teams the chance to compete in one time, buy-in tournaments that offer a prize pool to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams each and every time it starts up. The tournament will likely take place over a 2 week period, with the potential to hold them once a month, or even twice a month if there is enough interest. All matches will be refereed and live cast.
As many teams on the professional-amateur level currently hold little to no sponsorship, this league of tournaments will give teams the ability to compete for a rather large prize pool on a more frequent basis for a reasonable buy in. This allows teams to maintain focus on the prize much easier than the longer, more drawn out team leagues like CEVO and ESEA.
The ultimate goal:

If we have 8 teams interested in competing in the first tournament and then come back for future tournaments then there is potential for this league to turn into something more of a season with a series of 1 time tournaments with a point system awarded to teams placing in the semi-finals and above, where an invitational tournament will be held based off of the point system for a larger prize pool at the end of each season.
Example:
Season 1: Tournament 1, Tournament 2, Tournament 3, Tournament 4, Playoff Tournament (teams invited from the previous 4 tournaments based on point pool for an increased prize pool for winning).
Season 2: Repeat above.
