As mentioned this won't be opened to international teams because of historical and thematic reasons, but likewise it's not going to be a regular event. It's a bit of a one-off or special event and not a long series so the SEA and NZ guys aren't missing out on too much. They could even be inspired to start their own - I know Malaysia and Singapore have a bit of a rivalry I am sure there's something there that could be started!

Oh yeah that's something I forgot to mention - if your state isn't represented because of a lack of competitiveness I will allow you to join the B-Team and I am sure there's room in the BSG / PD teams! There's a bit of extra room to add a team or two in the B-Team competition because there's no playoffs.

I did have the 'born' rule in place in the BW SoO but it's really hard to police and open to people abusing so they can play in a team with their friends. I will probably allow it on a special case-to-case basis if you come to me and ask specifically why you want to, etc.

While technically I think many of us see NZ as another Australian state, I defined state in this case by how fruity the accent is. NZ just missed out on the cut.

This sounds awesome! Let me know if you need any support with making it happen!

[nirvAnA]

This sounds really fun. Big props to deL for sponsoring this out of his own pocket.

Some of my thoughts:

NSW might need 2 teams so all players have a chance to play? PiG captains one and Mafia captains the other with the xeria boys. So you got an even 6 teams now.

Might work better as a tournament format rather than league, as there are so many events going on, playing every week might be too much of a commitment for some of the top players and you want these players to be playing in this league!

	Mayo:	Agree
	deL:	Good points and usually I'd follow them, but this is a sentimental event for me and I'd rather keep it true to the first one!

Not sure I agree with there being 2 NSW teams. I mean QLD will still win anyway (Proof), but perhaps limit the number of players per team to ensure team fairness?

Also guys I think I linked it in the OP but definitely check out all the old threads on teamliquid to read about the history of State of Origin in SC:BW. You will see a lot of familiar names there and that is the competition that actually founded TA (we started as the NSW B-Team after SoO was over to keep up activity!). We had a showmatch with the "state all-stars" where we had 5 players from the two finalist teams play a match against Evil Geniuses (Team EG) which saw Australian win 4-1!

Just search "[SoO]" on TL.

Hmmm I'd have to check, you might be considered a territory and therefore ineligible.

You bring up a good point! I'd love to have a PD and BSG SoO event running as well but that would be a lot of effort for me alone and I wouldn't want to take admins away from other international or SC2SEA events. If you wanted to organise your own I'd be happy to help you out though!
