They must clash together – not in a battle between two clans. But in an all out war between all three. Not by simply sending our strongest players – but by sending our defining members. The leaders, the heroes, and the noobs. Friends whom they've relied on for over a decade, members who've shown great contributions to each their clans. All sorts represented. But in fewer numbers, lest the war would never end.
This is the vision the Triumvirate invite you to join in on!
Each team will send four players, starting with their leaders. The winner stands, as you've seen in the BSL Racewars already. The presumed weakest will start, to ensure that as many of the players are given their chance to shine. The maps are chosen beforehand by the clan leaders. This is the foretold order of the maps;
Map 1: Neo Lost Temple (AgGe's choice)
Map 2: Athena (W4rr10r's choice)
Map 3: Ride of Valkyries (Incomplete's choice)
Map 4: Luna (AgGe's choice)
Map 5: Andromeda (W4rr10r's choice)
Map 6: Transistor (Incomplete's choice)
Map 7: Korhal of Ceres (AgGe's choice)
Map 8: Gold Rush (W4rr10r's choice)
Map 9: New Empire of the Sun (Incomplete's choice)
Map 10: Dahlia of Jungle (AgGe's choice)
Map 11: Outlier (W4rr10r's choice)
(The leaders are responsible for distributing the mappack to each their respective members.)
We want to welcome you all to join us! We wish to show that even monstrosities like ReV can befriend small, humble teams like iRk, and ReD. That all teams either do, or should be encouraged to take in both the strong and the weak players. It's fine to be bad, it's awesome if you're strong. What truly makes a clan a clan is the friendship. And what truly makes a community, is the acknowledgement of our differences and encourgament to do well to others. For the noobs of today, are the pros of tommorrow.
There's more to life than being really, really ridiculously good at BW. There's also having friends – even if you haven't met them yet and only heard their voice that one time you accidentally called them on Skype 5 years ago.
The signs tells us that the threesome takes place on Tuesday June 12th, starting at 20.00 CEST. And it will last until the last team stands alone. The first match will be between iRk-AgGe and Incomplete.ReV, and then ReD.W4rr10r will face whomever wins. And so it continues until two teams have sent all 4 of their players.
It will take place in the B.net chat channel: thRRReesome
There will be no observers save for the caster(s). However, all may come to cheer on clanmates and favorites.
Regardless of the outcome we expect a lot of fun, and backstories on the players! We shall finally see what's strongest betwen tanned abs, sunglasses, and the fabulous kage bunshin.
Over the following days, you'll get to know the players a little better. From Thursday to Saturday we'll announce three players each day – one of each team, as well as giving them a short introduction. On Sunday we'll announce the caster(s), and add link to the stream where you can behold the fulfilment of prophecy.
Link to the stream: [Coming on Sunday]
The first three players will be the leaders, whom you've gotten to know in the STPL Interviews. We're lazy tyrants and instead of creating something new, we'll just shamelessly link to a finished product.

And here you'll find the list of our minions sent to wage war (will be updated as they're announced):
iRk-:
Player 2: iRk-Reggae
Introduction: + Show Spoiler +
Koen "Reggae" is one of the first to be invited to the iRk Generation 2 squad. Wich means he's atm the oldest playing member of iRk (joined 2005) after me.
The loyalty he's shown to iRk is above anything else, for example: when we all heard about the sc:rem being launched and I texted all the oldies from the G2 squad, Koen never hesitated to install sc, eventhough he had just got married 2 days before.
So the first thing he does after marrying the love of his life, and the bride that now wears his surname, is to start playing sc day in and day out. Now that's loyalty!
Apart from being one of the nicest guys ever, and never complaining, he's also the pothead of the squad and along with his mascot iRk-Dancer he brings chaos to both the 3on3@Hunters scene as well as the lower clanleagues with his fierceful vanilla zerg playing style.

Player 3: iRk-elKadoR
Introduction:+ Show Spoiler +
Jonas "Elkador" the bright Elk from darkest forrests of Värmland, was one of the first to join iRk at the release of SC:rem. During some random 3on3 game we found each other and after a shitload of cheesegames together we realized that a sc life apart wouldnt work out, so we just had to gang up under a common purpose, wich ofcourse would be iRk Generation 3. He's mostly known among the members as the Elkawinzor cause of his habbit of always coming out on top, even when it comes to bedroom activities at home in Kil, Sweden, wich also has resulted in a bunch of kids and alot of diapers to change. Besides being the first co-leader of iRk, he's also regarded as a brother, and along with his cousin aGOny it feels like home whenever we're discording together.
Player 4: iRk-OyA / iRk-iMbA
Introduction: + Show Spoiler +
Johan "OyAji" iMbA is one of the first players that got a yes after asking to join iRk (usually I say "no, wait for an invite" Just couldn't do that after seeing him play). Aside from starting playing sc while still in diapers and before learning how to walk, he's still just a kid compared to most of us in iRk. With his cheeky strats and childlishly good micro he brings fear into most opponents, and as Scan put it in HAY when they faced each other: "fuck happened?". OyA is one of a kind, and I regard him as the future of RTS gaming, being SC:rem, SC2 or whatever path he's going to take, he'll have a hell of career. Not only is he a really funny guy to hangaround, he's also always prepared to step up for the team, and his capacity to learn seems to be endless. He has shown great loyalty to the team ever since joining, and therefore he deserves to show off his OYAZZAAA in the thRRReesome event!
ReD:
Player 2: ReD.DarkStorm
Introduction: + Show Spoiler +
Markus "DarkStorm" - what a name! No need to worry though, his name does not reflect his personality. He's a super nice guy and has been around with our Dödels for years as well. In fact so long when he was using another nickname aka needsometrain. Ironically, when we played our countless ZvZ sessions, it seemed like it was me who needed some more train because I lost so much vs. him as well as other members.
We've known each other for so long that we don't even remember how we got to know each other but it's most likely due to "op red". Random people on iCCup showed up to whom us op red-people built up a relationship with. So all in all he is someone I don't want to miss!

Player 3: ReD.Cele
Introduction: + Show Spoiler +
Red.Cele, former AoP)Cele(, is possibly one of oldest members from Clan Red. Well, "offically" the Clan itself was born in September 2017, but I've been friends with him for at least 6-7 years. As more and more people congregated in our home channel "op red" on iCCup, he had the idea of creating a German Skype Group to gather all german Brood War players into one big group to stay in contact with each other and to tighten the german community a bit more. That Skype Group started in 2013 and ended up having over 50 members and in its prime no day passed without having to scroll through 400+++ unread messages.
Cele used to be in the iCCup admin staff for a few seasons and in the last season he was an admin, he had one mission: Getting B+ with 0-0 stats - and he succeeded! He was so successful, he even made a handful of players rage... fun times, fun times. Uploading replays to buy ladder points as reward is a good talent toi have xD

Player 4: ReD,KuH
Introduction: + Show Spoiler +
KuH is one of our most hard working members. He gets up early every morning to get sent to his second home - a wide open meadow with juiciy, fresh and deep green grass. Half asleep he starts chomping into the little plants, in fact so much he gets exhausted soon and has to relax a bit and lays onto the soft ground and even then he keeps on eating. But to save precious energy he just chills there while throwing up his breakfast to enjoy it one more time and every single bit of it - simply because he can!
Ok ok, jokes aside. KuH has been with us since at least 2013, back then playing under the nickname DA]KuH. As one of the Overmind's Cerebrates, he is a strong 1v1 player with a rather oldschool and sometimes unconventional style, he knows how to abuse maps and to detect weaknesses in his opponents and holes in their defenses on the battlefield regarldess of grounds on Char, Aiur or Korhal. Also, KuH is a skilled 2v2 player and hit A/A+ ranks on iCCup several times which makes him a valuable member for our clan in both 1v1 and 2v2 matches. Even more so because he recruited a few of his 2v2 allies. All in all he is definitely one of clan Red's core members and I am glad he is with us.
KuH as natural as he can be.

ReV:
Player 2: SkillfulQuail.ReV
Introduction: + Show Spoiler +
SkillfulQuail is one of ReV's more recent additons. She started watching Remastered when it was launched, playing the campaign in January, and started to play on ladder just short of two months ago. She studies medicine - primarily to get her hands on performance enhancing drugs to improve the skills of her clan mates. Although, based on her rapid improvement there seems to be no need for drugs. Her road to improvement can also be viewed on her stream, here: https://www.twitch.tv/skilfulquail
Some may call her a lamb for slaugther - and they may be right. But she's shown hard work, potential and contributed to ReV's friendly atmosphere to such an extent, that we present her proudly nonetheless.
When she's not gaming, she enjoys sailing, scuba diving, gliding, and drinking far too much tea.

Player 3: ViR.ReV
Introduction: + Show Spoiler +
ViR started playing already in '98, but stuck with Vanilla for a long time before making the transition to BroodWar. Some breaks, some SC2, and then he got down and dirty with Remastered. He enjoys cooking, baking bread, and is a avid Manchester City-fan. But despite his soccer blashpemy, he's studying to become a Pastor. Consequently, there are many Sundays where he can't attend any Clan Leagues, due to either preaching or simply attending at church. But don't be fooled - he still dabbles with stock investments. He is a layered man.
Few clan members work harder to improve than ViR does. One of the more senior of our members who joined after the Remastered Revival of ReV. He plays as much as he can, is diligent with asking questions and getting tips, shows himself no mercy or excuses. He is relentless in his training - a truly hardworking man! His tenacity and dedication makes him a greatly appreciated clan member!

Player 4: Carebear.ReV
Introduction:
+ Show Spoiler +
The vegan, the kickboxer, and the female pornstar turned male ladder bully. The Great Dane who surpasses all of his clan mates, and has been a pillar in the clan longer than any other current member has even been in ReV. He also has one of the most ignored nicknames in the community, as his rightful current nickname is Carebear.ReV. Nevertheless, no one save for his leader will ever refer to him as anything else than Avi-Love.
Carebear is as reliable as they come, even though he may not claim as such himself. He's always there for CWs, and always follows up on his promises. Is willing to go to great lengths to postpone games and see them through, rather than taking the walk over. And despite being prized in the FBW Discord for being the Most Toxic Player, his image does not do him justice.
He is a kind man and a good friend. He's quite full of shit until the need calls, and then he'll be there for you - giving good advice and encouragement. Always willing to play with his clan mates, regardless of their skill level. Gives advice and in general is great for the social atmosphere in the clan. Carebear truly is one of the greatest pillars of ReV - not only in skill, but as the man he is. We are proud of our Danish Jarlsberg.
