A big shoutout to Sharn "JoFritzMD" Kemp

He came up with the initiative to sponsor a series of tournaments to further the eSports community in Australia. I've asked him to extend this to the whole of SEA, which the Oceania region forms the majority, and he kindly accepted. As such, over the next 2 months, we will see the return of the SEACL with approximately $750 in total prizes up for grabs! $500 in cash is sponsored by JoFritzMD and $250 in product prizes will be sponsored by sc2sea.com. You can learn more about the generous JoFritzMD by reading his TL blogs over here!

+ [SEA CL info and rules] +

Head Admins:
The SC2SEA team consisting of Frogmite, Maynarde, Eddie and nirvAnA will oversee and administer the whole league, with Frogmite taking on the major role in the general running of the league. They will be helped by other admins as well in the running of the individual leagues.

Promotion / Integration of leagues:
There will be 4 divisions for SEACL, each one corresponding to a different level of skills. This is to allow the whole community to participate in one big awesome SEA league. All the 4 divisions will work together with a system of promotion/demotion. What we propose here is to be implemented too for the SEACL season 3 and subsequent seasons, with the only difference being the teams that have been promoted/demoted.

How works promotion/demotion system?

At the end of the season:
Last two teams of Tier 1 will play Up/Down matches GSL style with the top two teams of Tier 2. The top 2 winners will play in Tier 1 for next season, the losers will be playing for Tier 2.
Last two teams of Tier 2 will play Up/Down matches GSL style with the top two teams of Tier 3. The top 2 winners will play in Tier 2 for next season, the losers will be playing for Tier 3.
Last two teams of Tier 3 will play Up/Down matches GSL style with the top two teams of Tier 4. The top 2 winners will play in Tier 3 for next season, the losers will be playing for Tier 4.

It sounds complicated, but it's not. If you are a team leader, then just register your team(s) in this thread as explained below and we will take care of the rest.

The 4 leagues:

Tier 1: Sharn Kemp SEA Premier League

Teams invited: xGking, TArcMSI , SQLT, inFiMiTH, aLt, Mski, SPR, Herocraft
(I'll still have to confirm with MiTH / inFi about that arrangement)

What is herocraft?
An old clan GLaDe is reviving and the final invited tier 1 team led by GLaDe & tgun. The majority vote wanted them to play in some capacity, just not necessarily as mercs. It's a great way of showcasing some of SEA's top unsponsored players to the sponsors of current and future teams. Glade can pick out some unknowns and bring them into the spotlight. To allow Herocraft space, the smallest team MiTH has been suggested to join with inFi this season, as both RedArchon and Indy are members of inFi already it makes sense. The format has been changed to require 5 players instead of 4 as a result, to balance this team as well to make teams be rewarded for having more depth.

Streamer/casters / Admins wanted:

Admins: If you ever felt like contributing, there is no better time to step in and help then now. We will need quality help from experienced organisers and streamers. Send Frogmite / nirvAnA a PM expressing how you would like to help and your past experience.

Stream: There will be one official stream per division. We will only give this opportunity to regular casters as the whole season will take 7 weeks. The priority for Tier 1 will be given to Benji, as he presently contributes most to the streaming scene for our SEA region. You can PM me if you are interested to cast a division, which will be rotated if necessary among the casters should the workload be too demanding.

Team A

Manager ID/Code:
Manager Skype: (This is essential)

Roster:

1. Player1

The SEA Premier League (Tier 1) teams that will be invited are xGking +nGen, TArcMSI , SQLT, inFi, aLt, Mski, SPR & herocraft. Please submit your lineup below to confirm participation.

The team you registered will be placed between Tier 2 and Tier 4. We will make the placement for this season only, according to the level of your roster relative to the rest of the teams. To clarify, if your team is part of the strongest, you will play in the SEACL (Tier 2), if your team is part of the weakest, you will play for SEAL2 (Tier 4). Any dishonesty in your submission will affect your application chances. Be honest and submit a lineup that truly represents your clan please.

A player can only be registered in only one team. There is a limitation of 4 teams per clans. 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.

To keep things manageable, there are only 8 teams allowed per division. Should there be excess of applications, teams will be considered based on their activity, leadership ability and past performance / participation in our leagues. House clans will be given priority because in order to be a house clan in the first place, you have to meet those criteria. We basically want the league to run as smoothly as possible and like leaders to be "on the ball" and active - so submit your lineups now!

Others:
Dream Team Gaming will not be allowed to play this season due to having a majority of players who dont play primarily on SEA. We look forward to that participation in the future should they become more involved on a daily basis with SEA and our community.

If you have questions to ask, please first read the FAQ below:

+ [FAQ] +

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 SEACL to SEAL2 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 registering a maximum of 4 teams per clan is 100% free!

Why is it so complicated?
SEACL is a system that we will try to support on many "seasons". The system of promotion/demotion being here to allow teams to compete in a balanced division, and be an incentive, or a goal to reach for teams at the end of the season.

Why there is no more BSG/PD stuff?
There will still be a kind of BSG/PD divisions. Roughly the tier 3 can be compared to PD level+ and Tier 4 with BSG level+. We had a lot of issues with smurfing on BSG/PD CL, setting a subjective limit of skills is very hard to assume, either for admins and players. By removing this restrictions, we hope that players will always try to aim higher.

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.

Can i help to sponsor/admin the event?
Yes! PM nirvAnA 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.

We know you have been waiting a long time for a clan/team competition like this. There was some difficulty coming up with the format but now thats been resolved we hope you will all be excited about this league and enjoy playing in it. Sign up now, clans from EVERY division are welcome!

Frogmite.
