The team you registered will be placed between Tier 1 and Tier 5. We will make the placement for this season only, according to the level of your roster relative to the rest of the teams.

A player can only be registered in only one team/clan. If you are submitting multiple teams make sure you group similar teams accordingly, all GMs to make one team, all Golds to make one team etc. No mixing of GMs/Golds if submitting multiple teams.

FAQ:

---

+ [Show] +

How do i know in which tier my team will be playing?
The teams will be placed according to their strength compared to the other teams. Teams will be placed from S Class to BSG League by the strongest to the weakest. We will apply a system of points to fairly determine the strength of the teams.

What happen if a team is not in the good tier?
If a team is not in the good tier, they will either promote or demote at the end of the season. They will play in a more balanced division the next season.

Registration is free?
Yes

Who will be the admins?
There will be dedicated admins for each divisions(minimum of two). They will be responsible for running the division and solve all the problems occurring with teams/results... If you have any problem, PM them on sc2sea.com, it's their job to solve the issues.

I am not sure my team can commit, shall i register?
If you have doubts about the commitment of your players, i prefer you don't register your team or contact the admins. It's a pain in the ass to manage walkovers, especially if your team took the seat of another team.

This is great! Can I help sponsor/admin/stream the event?
Yes! PM ToR.Arnor if you wish to sponsor the event (cash). Even 20$ will help.
For admins, we will give priority to community members that have already ran competitions. Likewise for streamers.

Are Teams allowed?
Yes they most certainly are!

Can I play for my Team and my Clan?
No, players may only be on the roster of 1 team

How Long is Registration Open for?
