Going away for my birthday (**** yeah)

Just gathering raw interviews and comments right now, will get around to fleshing them out/fixing grammar in a bit

Was thinking that when the first week matchups are announced we could go through each game and give our own brief predictions
ie Xeria v aLt
Cute: aLt should have this in the bag because adlfjaldkfjlkd

You know the teams. You've met the players. Now it's time Add whatever else you can think of for hype or what content you want to include.



Here we can include stuff like the format, fixtures and schedule.

Round 1 Matchups:

aLternative vs Xeria Gaming

The first of the two big matchups this week sees last season's runners up aLt taking on the relatively recently established powerhouse that is Xeria Gaming. While on paper, xGKing may have the edge, if they go into this matchup bringing anything less than their one hundred percent, they may find victory quickly slipping from their grasp.

Xeria Gaming:
xGKingMaFia
xGKingiaguz
xGKingJazBas
xGKingBielsko

Ace Prediction: TtPig vs xGKingMaFia

Cute: This match may very well end up being closer than a lot of people would imagine. PiG and Yoon can certainly bring it to anyone on xGKing's lineup. That said, the trinity that is JazBas, Iaguz and MaFia will be enough to edge out a win for Xeria 4:2.

Trick Or Treat vs Team EVE

The two last minute additions to the Premier League find themselves playing off in the first round, and you can bet that both teams are looking to prove themselves worthy of the invite. The Chinese hope, ToT, boast the largest roster in the division and should be able to use this to their advantage, with enough depth to select an appropriate race for each map. EVE on the other hand something something something

Make your own predictions, vote in the poll above!

"nGen could be the darkhorse but it depends on how much JazBas is going to JazBas his units, whether iaguz brings his axe,
and how drunk MaFia is. Drunk MaFia beats tgun." -TargA

"Herocraft has tgun and mOOnGLaDe in it my favourite zergs in SEA,
how can I not expect them to win the first season!! Experience and awesomeness combined!." -Flamga

"As much as I'd like TA to retain the title, I think Xeria or HeroCraft could be too much,
but if it's not one of them I think one of last season's finalists TA or aLt could win it." -deL

"I’ve heard rumours that Livibee has been practicing with the likes of DRG, Nestea
and even beat Stephano 3-0 in a BO5. If she steps up then there’s no stopping Herocraft." -riiChard

"Targa is too busy playing 4v4 to win it for his team" -Shortizz

"I then got a PM from Nirvana asking me to give him all my money, which I did and now this is happening" JoFritzMD - Event sponsor

• If your team had a theme song, what would it be? (don't publish this in the interview, just use it in the main team post)

Question. aqsdawdas
[11:19:56 PM] Jase Cutrona: awesome
[11:20:43 PM] Jase Cutrona: can you start with a short introduction?
[11:21:07 PM] Sharn Kemp: ummm, haha, i'm not sure what to say
[11:21:17 PM] Jase Cutrona: :P
[11:23:09 PM] Sharn Kemp: I have no idea what to say, like what type of introduction, every time I start writing I start going into life story mode >_<
[11:23:16 PM] Jase Cutrona: hahah
[11:23:20 PM] Jase Cutrona: doesn't have to be too long
[11:23:36 PM] Jase Cutrona: My name is ...., I got into starcraft.... I decided to sponsor event because ....
[11:23:39 PM] Jase Cutrona: idk, up to you!
[11:23:47 PM] Sharn Kemp: I like that template :P
[11:28:59 PM] Sharn Kemp: My name is Sharnan Kemp, I'm 20 years old. I got into starcraft when I was about 17 after my friend showed me some of the korean pro players games on youtube. I started playing protoss because my two friends that played were terran and zerg. I then fell in love with it and Stork :3 (still watch his games when I can).

I decided to sponsor this event because one night when I was really tired I got this idea of running an Australian tournament. The next morning I woke up and the idea didn't feel too terrible after I slept (like most of my ideas do in the morning) so I posted a thread on TL. I then got a PM from Nirvana asking me to give him all my money, which I did and now this is happening.
[11:30:22 PM] Jase Cutrona: hahahaha
[11:30:31 PM] Jase Cutrona: good answer
[11:30:35 PM] Jase Cutrona: love the last line xD
[11:30:48 PM] Jase Cutrona: What are you most looking forward to in the upcoming SEACL season?
[11:37:09 PM] Sharn Kemp: I guess I was looking forward to the most has already happened. When I saw people get genuinely excited for this I was so shocked because I didn't really see it as anything too big at first. Then I realised what Nirvana and Frogmite were trying to accomplish with this, a multi-tiered tournament that accomodates everyone from the sponsored players to the lowly bronzies () I realised how amazing it actually was.
So I guess just seeing people get excited about this tournament just shows already that I made a good choice in sponsoring it.
[11:37:44 PM] Sharn Kemp: sorry about taking so long to write this, I keep writing stuff that I realise has nothing to do with the question
[11:37:50 PM] Jase Cutrona: it's fine :P
[11:38:13 PM] Jase Cutrona: do you have any favorite teams or players? also, any predictions on who will win?
[11:42:37 PM] Sharn Kemp: I'm still kind of new to the SEA sc2 scene so my favourite team is Xeria Gaming simply because I met Benji, Iaguz and Mafia at the barcraft and had a great time there with them.

If I were to pick someone to win...well as I said i'm not really familiar enough with the players yet to be able to pick a winning team confidently but I guess I would pick maybe...TA simply because of their win in the previous one (however long ago that was) or Xeria if they all perform as good as they can.
[11:43:33 PM] Jase Cutrona: okay sick
[11:43:35 PM] Jase Cutrona: ummmm
[11:44:08 PM] Jase Cutrona: I think that covers most of it pretty well ><
[11:44:15 PM] Jase Cutrona: any closing statements or shoutouts?
[11:44:23 PM] Jase Cutrona: or just anything you feel needs to be said
[11:46:56 PM] Sharn Kemp: A huge shoutout to Nirvana and Frogmite for making this happen. They are amazing people with amazing minds. Just the fact that they were able to look through all those threads about this League and be able to tweak the format just that little bit (or a lot in some cases) to make it 10x better shows how great these guys are. This couldn't be in better hands.
[11:47:07 PM] Jase Cutrona: thanks man
[11:47:10 PM] Jase Cutrona: great answers!
[11:47:13 PM] Jase Cutrona: thanks for doing this
[11:47:15 PM] Sharn Kemp: ^_^
[11:47:18 PM] Jase Cutrona: and thanks for putting on this awesome event, ofc
[11:47:19 PM] Sharn Kemp: my pleasurwe
[11:48:02 PM] Sharn Kemp: it would've happened with or without me I think, I guess I just helped to bring it about a little sooner
