Format:



Change in sign-ups- If you are a Masters player between 1,000 and 1,500 points, you may change your division to the 'Masters' Division, from the GM division.

Matches will be assigned and posted to dyeGaming.com starting May 12. dyeGaming.com will go live by May 8.



Players will have 1 week to play and complete their match, and report the results. Servers/time will be decided by the two players participating.

Baring some website design change, players will be asked to email their labeled replays, along with the score/match they played to results@dyegaming.com[2] - This is the responsibility of the winner of the series-



Please note that disputed results or games that seem 'fishy' (smurfing, hacking, etc), should be attached to an email with a detailed explanation, which should be sent to disputes@dyegaming.com[3] - If you fail to provide a detailed explanation, or you are obviously spamming us, you will be judged along with the replay -



Players will understand that replies to disputes may take up to 3 days to complete, while personal inquiries/comments/criticism sent to tjej@dyegaming.com[4] will take up to a day to reply. I will not reply to trolling, or spam. Please put some effort into it.

Hey there- The Big announcement has come! The Discover Your Energy StarLeague will be live on May Third!



What you need to know:



Division of Power



All players will be split up according to their ladder rank. Bronze players will play bronze, and diamond, diamond. There will not be any bronze playing master at the competitive level.



These are the following divisions:



1- Grandmaster/Masters (high)*

2- Masters (low)*

3- Diamond

4- Platinum

5- Gold

6- Silver

7- Bronze



*Masters is split into two sections because the difference between low/high masters is more than any other one league. This division will be at 1000 points.



Format



Round One- Proton Phase

Duration: 1 Month



Divisions will be separated into groups of 16, and there will be 4 weeks of Swiss Tournament play. This will serve to separate players into 5 sections according to score.



1 player will be 4:0 UP

4 players will be 3:1 SectorA

6 players will be 2:2 SectorB

4 players will be 1:3 SectorC

1 player will be 0:4 DOWN



The top player will advance a division, the bottom player will drop.



Round Two- Electron Phase

Duration: 1 Month



All SectorAs will be shuffled together and groups of 16 will be drawn

All SectorCs will be shuffled together and groups of 16 will be drawn



Players dropping division will be placed into SectorB in their new division*

Players rising will be placed into SectorB in their new division*



SectorB (now consisting of 8 players) will be redrawn to form groups of 16



Four more weeks of Swiss Tournament will follow with the new groups.



*For Bronze/GM Divisions, there will be only one player coming in. However, there will also only be one player leaving, meaning that the pool will remain consistent



Now, players will have a total of 8 matches played.



Players with a 3-1 record (or higher) from Round Two will advance to the next round.

Players with a lesser record will be eliminated.



Round Three- Atomic Phase

Duration: 1-2 Months



Players with a 3-1 or 4-0 Record from Round Two will advance.



Players scores from Round One and Round Two will be combined to seed them into a single elimination bracket:



Lowest Seed- 5-3, 4-4, 3-4

Middle Seed- 7-1,6-2

High Seed- 8-0



This bracket will play out until the final winner of each Division is known.



In Grandmaster League, instead of playing out the semifinals, the final four players will have a special format in order to best achieve the fairest result for the winner.



During the final month of play, the majority of players will have been eliminated, or quickly will be. It is during this time that staging the most fan-interaction, personality building, and hype for the finals, which, if possible, will be live-on-scene.

Old Announcement

+ Show Spoiler +





I am very happy to announce a full amateur league for Starcraft 2: HotS!



This post serves to announce the League itself. More details will come. Feel free to ask any questions, they will all be answered!



The Discover Your Energy StarLeague aims to create a sustainable tournament focusing on developing high-level Amateurs, providing opportunity and exposure for up-and-comers, while allowing for lower-level players to compete for prizes with players of equal skill level!



Players signing up will be sorted into divisions according to their Starcraft 2 League, ensuring that they are playing against others of similar skill level. There will be prizing for the winner of every Division.



Players playing in the highest League (those ranked Masters with over 1,000 points or Grandmaster) will be the focal point of this tournament. The winner of the tournament will receive resources to play professionally for ~3 months, whereupon he will be provided with an opportunity to prove his merit by competing in an appropriate tournament (such as DreamHack Open, GSL Code A Qualifiers, or the like).



Players of lower Leagues will receive various prizes, such as coaching or gaming gear.



Details:



The first League will start by May First.

A detailed format will be released shortly, but players will be expected to play 1 bo3 series per week for about 2 months.



This League is open to any player, of any league, so long as they are Amateur. An Amateur player is one that is not salaried/have their needs covered in exchange for playing Starcraft 2.



Players may sign up by posting below, PMing me, or at the

If an entire team/organization signs up, then they will receive a video spotlight/interview
