We also found a lot of very talented players for the professional-team and will continue to host ongoing tryouts every Wednesday in channel sc2s @ 7PM EST for the next two weeks. Diamond+ players only please.

Stay tuned for the next tournament date.

http://starcraft2strategy.com is proud to present the first of several tournaments geared toward recruiting for our budding Professional Gaming Team.

Everyone is welcome to participate in the tournament series, of which there will be more to come soon. After the first few we fully intend to begin paying cash prizes to the top placing players. You do not have to be interested in joining the professional team to participate, but those who stand out will be considered for a slot on the team. See below for more details.

The Tournament
-Some matches of the tournament will be streamed live, the finals will be commentated on our YouTube channel (http://youtube.com/sc2stratnet)
-The Tournament will be held on Saturday, January 28th at 7PM EST in channel sc2s (North American Server)
-Please join our forums by clicking on the Forum button at the top of the page and make a comment on the tournament thread to indicate your registration. Official registration will take place in the channel at the start of the tournament, so be on time.
-Divisions will be Bronze through Gold and Platinum through Grand Masters. As more players register, we may divide the leagues into 3 groups.
-Top performers will be considered for the professional team
-Future tournament seeds will be based on this tournament!
-Brackets will be hosted and linked to, winners will be announced on several websites

The Team
-We are currently looking for Diamond-Grand Master players who are SERIOUSLY devoted to the game. We aren’t looking for the best player, but the players with the best work ethic and team mentality.
-Funding for the team will be provided by starcraft2strategy.com and our sponsors
-This will be a serious competitive team working toward eventual international level play and exposure
-Team members will have the opportunity to become known within the sc2 community and make a supplemental income, the harder you are willing to work the more money you will make and the more exposure you will get. You will not be required to pay for anything.
-Professional lessons from GosuCoaches, Seminars, Exhibition matches with top Master/Grand Master players, etc will be provided for all serious team members. We want you to improve, we want our team to become the best in the world.
-We are not expecting this to be a success over night, that is why we want hard workers who understand the championship mentality. Hard work pays off! Be willing to show up for weekly or even daily practices, play in national online tournaments regularly and put in the time and energy necessary to become the best player you can be.

Any further questions or comments can be directed to Chimera in the sc2s channel on tournament night, or addressed in the forum post. Registration is now open at
