It's been hard to keep this under wraps for 3-4 months, however today we are finally allowed to make a post regarding a Team League that is happening in April/May on the Taiwan/Korea Server

The invitational has a $50,000 prize pool and 8 teams have been invited to fight for the prize!

At the moment the teams are still under wraps, however we can reveal that SEA will have at least 2 representatives at the event, Xeria Gaming and MiTH.

The event is being run by the same guys that run the TeSL, The Taiwan eSports League.

I will also be providing exclusive English coverage for the event via my twitch tv channel.

More details will be released this week and next, including other invited teams (I know a few Korean teams may have been contacted

)

The AUD is stronger.... so $50k USD is worth less than $50k AUD...

No. I mean ASiT. They already emailed me an invite.

Long story actually. I just want an answer if we'll get in or not.

TCPLemminks · Wed, 4th-Apr-2012, 4:48 PM

By Kr teams does this mean teams like OGS/ST/MVP/IM/etc.?

it very well may

BAD.BiGbiRd · Thu, 5th-Apr-2012, 3:02 AM

I agree with TargA....i would say TA are better than MiTH too, as well as aLt and inFi. xGking is a good choice but Nv would be a good choice too, especially over MiTH

zendex · Sun, 8th-Apr-2012, 1:56 AM

5 SEA teams (inFi, aLt, xG, TA, and another 1 preferrably), 2 TW teams and 1 KR team would be the best combination for this league IMO.

But I think these guys are looking for properly sponsored professional teams (not clans).

Zendex the teams were chosen like 3-4 months ago, by the guys who run TeSL, we'll see who their other invites are soon!

Daboo · Sun, 8th-Apr-2012, 2:53 AM

Wow this awesome! Go go go! Practice hard!

zendex · Sun, 8th-Apr-2012, 3:41 AM

You guys wait. We'll be "dropping a bombshell" later.
