SEAL #2 has begun and everyone is keeping their eye on the higher tiers. Sure, higher tiers means better games to watch but everyone tends to forget that sometimes the best entertainment can sometimes come from the average joes.

A quick rundown on SEAL #2:-

The official successor of SEACL #1
5 groups or leagues (or known as Tiers)
An estimated 55 teams are participating
Prizes worth an approximate $600

SEAL #2 is, as mentioned, is divided into 5 Tiers which are:-

Tier 1 – Sharn Kemp SEA Premier League
Tier 2 – SC2SEA Championship League A
Tier 3 – SC2SEA Championship League B
Tier 4 – SC2SEA League 1
Tier 5 - SC2SEA League 2

The Tier to follow? Tier 5 cause that’s where all the

(and a little bit of

) shenanigans will be. And if the last BSGCL was something to go by, Tier 5 will be a blast for all those who enjoyed watching us

The teams participating in Tier 5 are:-

Zerocraft

+ [Little Tidbit] +

TA Edarus and Friends

+ [Little Tidbit] +

FaDe BSG Ballers

+ [Little Tidbit] +

Perth Penguins

+ [Little Tidbit] +

ToRmentors

+ [Little Tidbit] +

VB Sober Soldiers

+ [Little Tidbit] +

QED Mixed Lollies

+ [Little Tidbit] +

QED Krrn and Co Pty Ltd

+ [Little Tidbit] +

Team HoH

+ [Little Tidbit] +

Fusion Slugs

+ [Little Tidbit] +

TCP Marinu Dropu

+ [Little Tidbit] +

Now that the pleasantries are out of the way, here’s a little interview with the Peoples’ Hero, MVP, Tier 5 Admin, the other half of MaynMann and all round badass, TAChadmann aka TheChad.

+ [Interview with TheChad] +

Hi there Chad. Do you mind if I interview you for a small piece I am writing for the Tier 5 of SEAL #2?

No, not at all. What do you want to know?

Well, we know how many tiers there are, so how many teams are there participating?

In Tier 5? Eleven. Overall? I think there might be fifty-five.

Holy !@#$! That’s a lot of teams. So, each tier has a prize for the winners each tier?

Yup. Each Tier on its thread shows what its prize is.

Sweet. How does it feel to be called the Peoples’ Hero of the Dox Cup #2?

Ah, it was a bit lucky to get through the brackets with the walkovers I got but it’s a title that I chuckle at. I hope that I can live up to earning that title by serving the people well!

Which you have, earning yourself MVP status on the forums and getting picked up by TA which if you don’t mind me asking, happened when?

The TA pickup? Well, I started hanging out on the TA TeamSpeak as a guest a month or so ago and enjoyed the company of the guys there. Then, riiChard (aka TAriiChard) basically begged me to join .

Well, that got me thinking about which clan I would like to join since QED and VB were both options for me. Even TCP, a clan with some great members, was considered. In the end I picked TA cause it was the most enticing with top level talking about strategies, being able to talk to them about those strategies and a large strong clan for practice partners.

And I am sure TA is happy with their pickup too seeing as you led Clanless (now Zerocraft) to a victory over FaDe in the BSGCL finals if I am not mistaken.

Yeah, I led the team but the team I had really made the win possible. Dedicated practice and a lot of improvement from the team took that team to the finals. And I really hope TA are happy too since I’m quite happy to be with TA too.

I’m sure being an all-round bad ass boss at everything helps too

*laughs* Yup.

So, now you’re the Admin for Tier 5 of SEAL #2. Who do you think are favoured to win this time around in your honest opinion?

Apart from TA, who are of course going to win, I think TCP and QED both have very strong line ups.

Which you have mentioned before in your own write up to the first week of Tier 5. Do you think Zerocraft, the spiritual successor of Clanless, will be able to repeat the same success as its predecessor?

I hope they do well but a few of their star line-up from last season have gone into the Tier 4 team and UpWaiting has joined QED. However, if they practice with the Tier 4 team and with good leadership and motivation from Arnor, they can do well.

Heck, who knows, Zerocraft to take the win in both Tiers eh?

I wish them luck but not as much as in Tier 5

So, for the final question. Who do think will win Tier 1, the Sharn Kemp League?

Of course TA will take it! I think infi and Herocraft will put up great results too. In fact, I can see a few other teams performing well in Tier 1. Ask me again mid-way through the season!

*laughs* You bet I will. Well, thanks for your time and congratulations on getting picked up by TA and becoming MVP.

Thanks. It’s a real honour for me to be an MVP as well as be a part of TA. I hope for the best that this season of SEAL, especially in Tier 5, will be great. I hope I do well in admining Tier 5 with Maynarde will be looked upon well by everyone. The MaynMann Team!

*laughs* Here’s to a great SEAL #2.

So, will you be tuning in to Tier 5? Cause if you don’t, you might just miss out on some of the greatest

play in the SEA region.
