[DGWoLF]

Welcome to the First DGSL

Once upon a time there was a Starcraft 2 Nerd name WoLF. This Nerd is the Leader of a Youtube community called Dominion Gaming TV. After having some fun with Starcraft 2 he decided it was time to host a tournament. This was a 5 man / Cup with the prize of itunes vouchers. Since then this Starcraft 2 Nerd has grown a bit an made some connections.

What?

Dual Tournament format.

Best of 3.

- The 4 players of each group are split into two pairs and play each other. In this case 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3
- The winners of these matches will then face each other in the Winner’s match.
- The victor places first in the group and advances to the Ro8.
- The losers of the initial matches face each other in the Loser’s match.
- The loser places fourth in the group and will be Eliminated from the DGSL
- The loser of the Winner’s match and the winner of the Loser’s match will face each other in a fifth match.
- The winner gets second place in the group and advances to the Ro8.
- The loser places third in the group and is Eliminated from the DGSL

+ [What its all about] +

The DGSL #1 is a GSL ( Coincidental name i swear ) Format where we will have 4 groups of 4 players to make a 16 man tournament.
Now the tournaments players will consist of 4 chosen individuals from key teams in the BSG Community.
Each group will consist of 1 player from each of the 4 teams to make 1 group the same for the other groups will happen.
The games will be cast from replays with special guest casters each week on the Dominion Gaming Twitch.
This means like in the GMC that was recently played the players will have a week to play their groups games and then submit them to myself who will distribute them as necessary to casters for the cast to happen at a TBD time. ( may vary each week ( and no that doesn't mean you will have less time to do your games.))
Once the groups have been played out then it will go into a single elimination Bracket Ro8 which will more then likely be a live finals or will be from replay either way ^ is whats happening

+ [Reasoning for choosing Teams] +

The first one is obvious mGG is easily the most recognizable clan at the moment in SC2 from this community. They are generally Well mannered people who like to have some friendly banter. mGG was without a doubt the first team the thought of when hosting this tourney.

Secondly i thought of AxS . This was due to knowing that they have an active group of players and i thought that it was time they got to shine on something a little bit different then the BSG Weekly. Thank AxS for joining us.

Third to mind was ToR. These guys have been around for a long time and not knowing that if they had the players or not i didn't think of them. But after asking the above teams reps. Well it was unanimous ToR was going to be Team the 3rd

Last but not least. This will be my first tourney since the inception of DGTV Sc2 it was clear from the start what level of play this tournament was going to be for and who would be involved.
so DGTV without any thought would play in the DGSL.

When?

the DGSL will commence on Monday the 14th of October and go on for 3-4 weeks depending on the progress of the players.
Players will have the week to play their games and the winner sending me the replays named and game number to be cast the following week

If you have any Questions please leave them in the comments below and i will get back to you ASAP

A special shout out to .....
Nemesis of mGG
Soul ( Knight ) of AxS
Dekid of ToR
for being very helpful in making this tourney happen.

I wish everyone the very best and hope to see some more friendly Banter insue in the coming weeks

GLHF and The Dominion of Gaming Wishes you all the best!!!!!!

[Matt93]

Seffy for championship

[DGWoLF]

Its not really a team tourney its more an individual tourney but the players are from those 4 teams :P

[mGGNemesis]

It's basically 4 players from each of the 4 clans/teams who will b fighting it out in group format (e.g. GSL and mGG's GMC)

[ShayneRarma]

Great idea mate, definitely a step forward.. Hope to see some good games from this
