The qualifiers are over and all of the teams are raring to go as the third season of SC2ITL begins this week. With more teams than ever before (around eighty) it is the largest the league has ever been. There are three divisions of separate skill levels, 8 different groups, playoffs for each skill-level and a larger prize pool than ever before! To say that we are excited for the season to start would be an understatement, so let's take a look at what is going on in the first week of the SC2ITL!

The third season of the SC2Improve Team League will be the tournaments largest season yet in multiple ways. The €500 Prize Pool is double that which we have put on in previous seasons and at a total of 79 registered teams we have almost 25 more teams than in the previous two seasons. The most exciting part is that it all kicks off tomorrow when we will see over twenty teams competing for the four remaining places in the First Division in the Open Qualifier.

It isn't an easy journey - a single elimination bracket means a couple of bad games and even the best teams involved can find themselves in trouble. With 21 teams registered the bracket will not be finalized until check-in closes at 6pm CEST. The RO32 and RO16 matches will be played on Saturday with the important final matches of the qualifier, the RO8, being played at various times on Sunday.
