But yeah, team leagues are difficult to organize, that's why there were no SEACL season 2 yet.
to add to what froggy has said, its largely due to sponsorship issues, we have capable admins who have proven they can do a great job running tournaments and we have the clans and the demand for it. what we dont have however is the financial backing. with an amount of say $400 and seasl #2 can be done, maybe even less.
we are working on a new league for the new year, separated by divisions so hopefully that gets rid of the smurfing issue. im also thinking of having a "side FA Cup" tourney to run alongside it to make things interesting where all leagues will play against each other single elim style for all 32 teams. this will be in addition to the league where clans will get something for being champions of their respective divisions. kinda like EPL.
There are a myriad of different things that support clan battles. There is the BSGCL and the PDCL which covers low level gamers. In additional sc2sea just added the clans section to your right that better allows teams to advertise their clan wars and leagues and such.
The problem you seem to have is there is not enough for you to do all the time or there is not enough for your level of play. If that is the case then you can start your own, be a baller and ,(if you are successful), get mega respect from the community. The most respected man in the BSG is Frogmite. Why? Mostly because he is a pimp but also because he had the balls to run the the BSGCL like a bouse.
If you need some help, here is a 4 step plan to get you started:
1) Plan well. Find a good date and time, set your audience (lvl of play, types of clans, ect...) and make sure that you have everything you need before you post anything.
2) Make sure people get on board with the action. Do everything you can to advertise and announce your tournament. When you start up, get people involved in the matches, even if they are knocked out. For example, try running a small betting system to get people to bet on the games. Not real money, just something to get people excited.
3) ???????????
4) Profit + Respect = Rofit and/or Prespect
Good luck mate. Hopefully you are more action less talk, I would love to see another baller on this scene.

actually, i have enough enthusiasm to do this kind of thing, but i dont have that much time, i have my own team to manage. just very disappointed that such a server(small tho) dont own a teamleague. my team ToT is participating a NA team league now, i think it would be interesting if SEA have one.
and ya,u can say there are lots of clan war, but it is not systemic, i have to say.
i know BSGCL and PDCL,but i mean a higher level league

So basically, you are complaining that sc2sea doesnt have a high level clan league, but then go on to say you dont have time to organise one. Instead of saying how "disappointed" you are, how about you encourage one of the ToT members to organise it on SEA? As you are someone who has their own team to manage, I am sure you can coerce someone to get it done.
I think your attitude is a bit raw to be honest. there are so many people on sc2sea that put in massive amounts of effort, to then see a post like this that is basically complaining about the 1 item that might be lacking presently. Instead of whining about the problem, how about you be part of the solution.
TA has too much of a monopoly of good players, a SEA clan league system would be boring nowadays, or someone would just recruit koreans or something silly
TA is a clan, not a team... and there are plenty of good players not on TA
I think big teD would know whether TA is a clan or a team
There are plenty of good players not on TA but if they are together in a team is the thing, TA would have enough of a lineup of possibly 2 A teams depending on team sizes

TA certainly has the most stacked line up itll just be a matter of whether their players will be free to compete for them based on whether ViroL, Glock, Benji and/or Will require them to compete under their sponsor teams banner
EDIT: To the OP, ill repeat what others have said, if you want a Team league for the M/GM players dont point fingers, try to so something about it yourself (even a post saying youd like to do it but need help)

I was going purely off what deL posted on liquipedia, technically Rayray is considered "Inactive" as he has decided to take a break (hopefully not permanently) from SCII

Frogmite, myself and some others have been talking about bringing back the clan league, but with divisions to seperate the stronger teams from the weaker ones but reward progress and the higher ranked teams as time goes on with anything from gear to cash. This is in alpha stages, keep an eye on this site early next year as we'll likely have something nutted out by then.
