Hi all! As you know, recently someone made a post about TeSL, Taiwan ESport League. Since then, there is a lot of interest in the Taiwan scene.
As I am fluent in Mandarin, I had the opportunity to work closely with them and recently been able to secure English Casting for the first Taiwan Event that is going to be featured internationally on livestream.
I have watched many Taiwan players play and I am extremely (pleasantly) surprised by the amount of skills they have.
Clan leagues are the format they play TeSL and it is extremely popular. I am proud to introduce to you, the TCL.
We have Rush, one of the most recognised and old school Starcraft clans from Taiwan founded in 1999! Sen used to be from Rush as well.
Going up against MaD, another Starcraft clan from Taiwan. MaD actually means Masters and Doctors as there are a lot of "scholars" in their team. However, they have other players that are not of that profession as well
