So baller!

But i would like to see just an OPEN Clan league where everyone can sign up and compete for the prize. Doesnt matter if alot of ppl feels that TA is too stacked, im sure theres other clans out there who would love to compete against them. Clans such as inFi, Mineski, aLt and TA would make things very interesting!

Well, I think you guys should give the guy a break though. I mean we all know what he meant since the beginning, just the way he expressed it wasn't that good... maybe it's just his English? I have no idea but seeing he's from ToT, it's possible =.=. He obviously means that there's a lack of competition for the higher league clans. Having friendly clan matches are completely different things so by saying that there are already clan wars happening is not an argument at all imo. I do agree that having a clan league for BSG and PD but not for masters or above is kinda strange. I personally did think about organizing one as well but other than putting the time forward, in the end, if there aren't any decent prizes then a lot of people would not participate.

Iaguz as far as I know isnt a member of any social clan/team

Jazbas I believe is a member of infi now ngen is officially deceased

It'd be cool to do one of those team leagues like WC3 where you just had 2 players per team to fill in the time as a league without prizes or with very minor prizes (just sc2sea achievements?). The way they worked was A v C, B v D, 2v2, A v D, B v C.

iaguz was aLt i thought
light, mafia, jazbas were former nGen members from memory

But are we talking team league for social clans only?
If i organize a team league thing there is absolutely going to be a little 2v2 action involved ^^

Iaguz from memory kinda left aLt when he joined xG something about not really seeing a difference between a clan and a team and thinking it was silly to be part of both (kinda agree with him there

Yeah Jaz, mafia and light were all ngen

its a funny grey area many clans are teams at the same time, it all depends on an individuals interpretation of where the line is drawn

To the OP - the problem is running such a structured team league similar to the Korean BW proleague system (with seasons, etc.) would require full participation and noshows would really hurt it. We've been spoiled with the first few team leagues having cash prizes and it would be hard with all the other tournaments happening in SEA to get players to show up with full strength teams each week for a coherent team league. There'd be no point if you can't bring out the top players most weeks and I'm not sure that the top players could commit to the time and effort a team league demands when they have prized tournaments to consider.

Running fully fledged team leagues without a prize, even if everyone turned up, would just cheapen any cash prize leagues of a similar format that may be planned in the future. Otherwise, the opposite effect would happen and the prizeless leagues would be much less exciting with a prized league around the corner.

Light, MaFia are TA now after nGen disbanded. JazBas went to inFi and iaguz left aLt and is unassociated with a "clan" as he doesn't really distinguish between clan and team and doesn't feel comfortable representing two organisations.

Hmmm... as the conversation progresses I shall add my thoughts:

Teamleagues are fun.
However they take a hell of alot of time, the prizes are negligable once split, and schedules and organisation is a nightmare.

Players like myself would find them fun, but at the same time only be able to spare the time to play consistently if there was high viewer numbers (sponsorship) or prizes larger then I can imagine existing for this. The amount of sitting around watching games and waiting to actually playing is pretty high.

Would be fun but You'd need a strict set of rules and loose time-rules to get it going. Aswell as managers/liasions with each team that would reliably organise their team or we'd end up with lots of forfeits and such. That being said if it's well organised I'd definitely give it the time of day.
