ReG Gaming, formerly Russian Elite Guardians, is one of the Russian teams taking part in the SC2ITL. Honestly, I do not know much about them (as is the case with a lot of the Russian teams), however they have done surprisingly well to make it into the playoffs.

It isn’t everyday that you get to write about a world class team playing in your own league. When I first saw mYinsanity signed up to the SC2ITL, I realized that most likely we already had our champions, if they placed their best line-up when it was needed. With recent additions to other teams, it might not be as easy for mYinsanity as it first seemed it would be at the start of this season, but it’s still going to take a lot to stop the wrecking ball which mYinsanity have been so far in the SC2ITL. PunchLine managed to take them out in Week 12, after their playoff spot was already secured. I’m not sure who came out to play for mYinsanity, but I get the feeling it wasn’t their best line-up of Jjakji, StarDust and Kane.

You can see the full points standings here.

The overall Prizepool is estimated to be over €1000. There were some delays but eventually we made it this weekend, the Finals Weekend, where the four RO16 groups and the 8-man single elimination bracket was played out. Patience, a replacement for Chubz, came out ahead of all the others without dropping a single map.
