What is Valor?

Valor is a team-based community of players from bronze to diamond league competing and practising with each other in a friendly atmosphere. We currently have approximately 70 active members and are looking to increase that number. The aim of Valor is to provide and competitive and welcoming environment where you can meet new practise partners, play casted matches regularly against names you recognise, and have a team to support and to play for.



We encourage players in the lower leagues looking for a taste of competitive starcraft to sign up and give Valor a go. For higher league players, there is an expectation that you will train and practice with our lower leaguers, and since the beginning of season 1 of Valor, almost all our players have advanced up a league or more, with several cases of people going from as low as Silver to Diamond league.



Valor members are divided into 8 teams and each weekend at 16:30 GMT (time subject to possible changes) we hold matches between the teams. We hold 2 matches on Saturday and 2 on Sunday, so all 8 teams get to play each week. The teams play a 6 games against a different team every week, resulting in a 7 week-long season for each team to play vs each other, plus a playoff tourny on the 8th week.

During Seasons 1 and 2 of Valor, we managed to cast almost every single match, and this season we are hoping to have even more casters to make sure not a single game is missed.





Season 2 of Valor has now finished, and we are looking for new blood for Season 3.

Who are we looking for?

We strongly encourage all players Bronze - Platinum to join up and give it a try because not only have we had great fun this season, but it is a great way to improve your own game and get yourself promoted a league or two.Rules will be in place to ensure that matches are fair and competitive, so you can always have a game vs someone near your skill level.



While we are accepting all bronze - diamond players, to mainitain balance we have only a few spots for master-leaguers, reserved for friends of Valor players (including friends of new signups).



Bronze League to Diamond League: All applicants considered

Master League: Friends of players







Rules and Format

+ Show Spoiler + Rules



Anybody attempting to breach the following rules can and probably will be banned permanently from all Valor events.

No use of external programs to gain an advantage, such as maphacks and drophacks, will be tolerated





No smurfing. Don't misrepresent your skill level in order to be given easier access to the tournament.





Valor aims to be a friendly and accepting community. Excessive bad manners are prohibited in Valor events. If you think you may have gone too far, you probably have: keep calm, play nice and have fun.





Valor events may be streamed. Abuse of this by communicating with any of the players will be dealt with harshly.







The Format



Each weekend, each team will play a series of 6 games vs another team.

All 6 Matches will be played, teams gain 2 points per win, unless there is a league difference between the players in which case the team which could not field a player of the right league will only receive 1 point for a win.





The matches will have a maximum league restriction; Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Platimum, Diamond/Masters for matches 1 to 6 respectively.





The map pool is the current ladder map pool, with Terminus RE, Crevasse and Crossfire added to the pool for the platinum and diamond matches. (possibly subject to change; admins are dicussing it)





Maps for the weekend's play will be posted on the forum on the previous Monday. Teams must submit their players by Friday.





These rules are possibly subject to some tweaking and additions in future, but the essential idea will remain the same.
