Overview[edit]

The SC2Improve Winter League 2012 was a tournament hosted by the SC2Improve community. Open to players from all leagues, the tournament was about bringing people together to enjoy the game as well as providing a strong sense of competition.

Tournament Information[edit]

Prize Pool[edit]

£59 was spread among the players as seen below. £20 was also split between players who won each of the 5 qualifiers.

Converted USD prizes are based on the currency exchange rate (taken from xe.com) on February 19, 2013: 1 GBP = 1.54245 USD.

Format[edit]

The league started with 5 qualifying events that allowed players to earn points towards qualification for the 16-player group stage. The winners of these qualifiers, as well as the 7 players who earned the most points, all earned a spot for the Ro16. The final 4 spots were given to the top 4 players from the SC2Improve Summer League 2012.

The Ro16 was a group stage consisting of four groups using a GSL-style double-elimination format. The top two players from each group moved on to the Ro8.

From the Ro8 onwards, the tournament operated as a standard single-elimination bracket, with each round being a Bo5 and the finals being a Bo7.

Qualifiers[edit]

Points System[edit]

Everyone who played in a qualifier earned a certain amount of points depending on the position they finished. The 7 players with the most points at the end of the 5th qualifier (excluding players who had won a qualifier, as they gained a direct seed) earned a place into the Ro16.
