In typical SEA fashion, Zerg triumphed over Protoss and Terran last year. This year, Protoss and Terran have become stronger (balance wise ). Can Zerg defend their title of winners of Race Wars 2014?
Captain & Roster Selection
Did you ever think you were gonna escape playing your hated mirror match-up in Race Wars? LOL DREAM HARDER. This year, aspiring Captains will have to go through a tournament for whichever race they want to represent, and the winner of the tournament will act as Captain for their race.
Format: Bo1 Double Elimination, Bo3 Losers' Finals and Finals
Date: 25 September 2015
Time: 7:00PM AEST
Eligibility: SEA - ANZ players
Sign up links: Terran - Protoss - Zerg
Sign up instruction: Please put your most-known-as alias as your sign-up name!
* No seeding will be done, nor any form of OSC points will be given
I understand that the Captain doesn't need to be the best player around, but I'm also certain that some of the better players will not be interested in participating in the tournament since there's not much to gain from. Hopefully the better players will give the chance to others!
Once the Captains are selected, Captains will have a week to round up a roster of 12, however they want to, be it a thread on SC2SEA (like last year), or personal invitations. They don't need to be the best 12 players of SEA, you can get a Gold fighter if you want to! I advise Captains to exercise impartiality so the whole roster won't just consist of your close friends. Captains must submit their roster to me by 2 October 2015, 2359 AEST.
The different recruitment threads for the different races are... (Thanks to Nemesis for the post)
Players for the Archon Mode match cannot be used in the All Kill format
Archon Mode players and starters for All Kill format will be pre-determined by Captains
The winner of the 4th game continues for the 6th game
Maps will be made known at a later date (probably something exciting)
This means out of the 12 selected players on the roster, a maximum of 7 will be able to play
Important Dates to Note
vs : 11 October 2015 6:00PM AEDT - Casted by Insano & NXZ on syfgamingtv - VOD Link
vs : 17 October 2015 6:00PM AEDT - Casted by Insano & Pox on syfgamingtv - VOD Link
vs : 1 November 2015 6:00PM AEDT - Casted by Nemesis, Fullmetal & Slayer - VOD Link
* Dates and timing are tentative and may subject to change
If you're unable to make it for all of the above mentioned dates and timing for your race, you are advised not to be part of the roster so others who can make it can be in the roster. Hopefully LOTV Beta is still around before the event finishes!
It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

Probe for captain, probe to play every game, probe to win every game. The rest of us protoss can sit back and enjoy excessive balance whining after probe is finished.
The only time it sucks to be a zerg in SEA.. so many of us, I won't get a chance to represent the hive mind... Should switch to Protoss or something ..
Also I love that the banner is each race cheesing (proxy 2 rax/gates & an early pool) hehehe..
Good luck to everyone, however the swarm will overcome all.
Reminder to all participants you can now check in, and you can still sign up if you're not signed up! Details on what channel to join, etc., are in the bracket link.
Terran captain was decided by FFA (played by Azure, Fullmetal, and Fiend) while Probe was the only person who checked in. Zerg captain was decided by Pox and Satu playing in an 8 player map with 6 other Insane AIs. Satu was the first to get rekt. So, by default, Pox is Zerg's captain!
Captains now have a week to do up a roster, most preferably by making an SC2SEA thread and selecting people who express their interest in participating. Rosters will be made known by next week!
Small update, dates have been pushed back by 1 week. 2 days to roster announcement, captains have been reminded to finalise their rosters already. Hype!
LotV Group stages are already on October 18th at the exact same time. Might be a better idea to move those race wars matches to the morning, or the day before?
Post in those threads to be noticed by the honorable leaders to be chosen to fight for your cause.

Zerg vs Protoss will be shifted to next Sunday! This is because of DreamHack Qualifiers and SSTL finals on Saturday, and SEA LOTV Beta tournament is on Sunday.
