2012 was a trying year for Brood War. MBCGame became a music channel, the OSL crowned JangBi as the last Brood War Champion. After a middle-of-the-road league attempt, Proleague too closed its doors to original StarCraft competition. Undeterred, one man set out to keep the spirit alive in Korea and the SSL was the source of a new beginning, creating a haven among the ashes for players such as Killer and Pusan.

It is time for the same to happen outside Asia. TeamLiquid, with help from Razer and Twitch.tv, will seek to unify and solidify competition among foreigners, capturing and cultivating a love for the game that brought Liquid`Nazgul to Korea so many years ago. We will be hosting a series of three $500 tournaments, ultimately culminating in a final event with $2000 up for grabs.

2013 will be different. The new year brings new beginnings.

Today we are proud to present a new Starcraft: Brood War league: The TeamLiquid Legacy Starleague



Details for Round 1

The first round event will have a prize pool of $500.

Cool to see but think it will be a bit of a fail/isnt needed just yet. Maybe next year when broodwar is a bit more forgotten

[iM SundeR]

Agree with Kez. I get the impression this is just the TL mods being the ultimate nerd hipsters.

[AssyrianKing]

Broodwar is growing again with the introduction of SSL and SOSPA, dont know what you guys are talking about o.O

There's barely anything foreign BW players can play in these days. The game still means a lot to a lot of people, and last year was a shit one to be a BW fan. It's a pretty sweet way to start 2013 imo, even though I never really followed it.

Would be sick if Legionnarie had a bash too

[fur]

I think it's a great idea, and I'm hoping a couple of oldskool gosu's have a crack at qualifying.

[yongming]

3 more qualifiers date likely to be added due to overwhelming response

[Dominator]

yay i cant wait for this hehehehee
