Introducing E64
Europe has always been a crownless kingdom. While people can easily identify the top 5, it's been hard to break it any further, and this league aims to change that fact, while providing a challenge for players of any level.
The League will run on a GSL-inspired format, and one season should only take a couple months at most.
The goal is to qualify for the Class S tournament, to remain in it, and eventually, to win it.
Nota Bene : This League will also serve as a Power Ranking tool for the European region, thus the thread fitting more in general discussion. If mods think it should still be in the Online Events section, feel free to move it.
In a nutshell
The league is composed of two divisions. Players in the Class S tournament play for the Championship. If they are to lose, they fall down to Class A.
Class A players duke it out for a spot in the Class S tournament through succesive rounds. In each round, losers from Class S will be injected, increasing the skill level required to advance.
