SEACL has always been extremely important to me. The memories, the great rivalries, the team comradery and bonds, the competitiveness, and the drama within the previous SEACL's are unforgettable for myself. Just like SEACL2 marked my motivation to return to SCII after a long hiatus, SEACL3 has reignited some of my competitive drive for SCII, I simply want to contribute and not let my team down. I have thoroughly enjoyed competing for iM, and cheering for all my other favourite teams across all leagues. Although SEACL3 has been great so far, IMO it can get even better.

UHF posted an update on the SEACL Fantasy Rank/Stats today in the original Fantasy sign up thread http://www.sc2sea.com/showthread.php...ht=SEACL+stats. I suggested that a new thread be created for this. UHF replied that he elected not to create a new SEACL Fantasy Rank/Stats thread, due to avoiding stepping on Breadfan's toes. This is some great statwork/information that is buried under an old thread that is very valuable interesting information/content to many of us.

I urge Anor, Breadfan and other SEACL administrators to give the go ahead for people to produce content based on SEACL. Whether it be Statistics, predictions, summaries, previews and articles etc, for all leagues. This will make the entire SEACL easier to follow, and make it even more interesting and phenomenal then it already is.

Additional content that made previous SEACL's awesome:

• Frogmite's SEACL 2 T1 Statistics (updated to week 8)http://www.sc2sea.com/showthread.php?t=3289
• Frogmite's SEACL 2 T1 Summary http://www.sc2sea.com/showthread.php?t=4102
• Nirvana's SEACL Week 8 Results Special (A preview to the final week)http://www.sc2sea.com/showthread.php?t=4030
• Frog Cup

Things that I really like about this SEACL so far:

• Communication channels are far more efficient than ever.
• Streaming of all SEACL tiers are available and abundant.
• Every tier being organised in one general thread is absolutely amazing efficient. The results/scheduling/standings of all weeks being placed in the OP of each thread makes things so much easier to find. It is a freaking effort to have to find and look through countless threads to find the results were looking for. I urge the admins to update the results into their OPs (or if they are too busy, I'm sure many of us are willing to help out). That said,
• The weekly summaries for all leagues has been absolutely fantastic.

Some thoughts about S Class league:
The matchmakers or random generators sure elected for a thriving start - Matching the top 4 teams of T1 definitely created huge interest and attention to the league. Out of the other 4 teams, I personally feel Avant ToR(with a Xzclamation mark)as the most dangerous that will give the top 4 teams a run for their money. ToT was supposed to be that team, but the absence of FlashToT and most of their top players smashing away at LoL has hurt this team's chances significantly. I would definitely like to see a turn around from them.

I am very pleased to have my current teammates in Team Immunity and have the utmost confidence in them. I never doubted Tgun a second during the infamous 1st game of Tgun vs Myuu. Yang's return was phenomenal taking a game of KK. Mafia is solid as always. Sunder yet to show his real talent, and most supportive guy ever in chat. Helen is a great manager in getting us organised for matches. I like our chances and our fight towards the crown for S Class. That said, the path will be ridiculously tough filled with many Infested Terrans. We shall fight through it!

Other then Avant ToR, the other team to watch out for is definitely Fray. Fray has a very deep and solid roster, with their top players getting some absolutely eye-opening results recently. Coming into SEACL3, they would have be the team that is the "most hungry", ready to show their grit against the iM/Nv stars that are still considered by the public to be in front of them. Falling to Nv and Moonglade in week 1 would have only made them more determined. Immunity and xG are right within their crosshair. I can say that for myself, these guys are definitely the guys I don't want to lose to, and will not lose to.

For this reason, I am looking forward to the playoffs! Will be so freaking exciting having a playoffs with the best teams in SEA going head to head.

This is all for now,
