As promised, since now only players with a new battle.net link can be added to the lineups. We were replacing old links with new ones, so currently we have 3679 validated accounts (of 4454). Please, check your rosters and fix invalid accounts.

Hi. Decima eSports has been disqualified for using Weltall, a player from the Black list. All their opponents in the amateur division get walkovers.

Guys, with regards to requesting a reschedule for your matches, the opposing team is under no obligation to grant your request, but here are some guidelines to follow to improve your chances. Admins may try to intervene if you follow them yet do not receive a favourable response.
1) Pls give plenty of time when you submit your reschedule request (at least 3 days in advance but possibly more)
2) Don't just submit your request via the website but also DM the opposing team's manager using the discord account provided on his team page
3) Try to provide more than one alternative date/time
4) And if you don't receive a response within a couple of days or so you may contact an admin to try and help

Please keep in mind that while winning is the name of the game, the admins hope that teams show reasonable consideration and etiquette to one another when it comes to rescheduling requests. This is actually a factor that we consider when reviewing applications for entries into our league. Teams that are very uncooperative or unhelpful in this regard may find their entry applications rejected in the future.
Thank you.

For NA's Pro division, a new team Shrek5 will be taking over Scythe E Sports place after the latter had chosen to drop out. Apologies if this causes any inconvenience but as Scythe E Sports has not actually played any matches, the admins feel a new team who would be able to play the matches instead of having 8 technical wins/losses is a better outcome for the league.
As 2 of Shrek5's matches fall within the next 3 days, if any 3 teams (Shrek5, SDC12 and BlackN) have any problems coming up with a roster pls DM myself or StillFly#6856 and we will force a reschedule in this instance if need be.

Dear managers.
Admin team continues working on improving the league and website. In near future we will implement a lot of new features and for some of them we need correct player accounts. So we ask you to actualize players' battle.net links. It must be web links like <https://starcraft2.com/en-gb/profile/2/2/2303>. In a week you will be able to add to the lineups only valid players.
The form for adding/editing players has been changed a bit. Now it does check the data and shows you a message in case of invalid profile link.
Thank you.

IMPORTANT RULES INFORMATION ALARM
Our whole admin team probably was drunk writing rule changes for the new season and one rule was posted with a mistake. Right now it sounds as:
"Players can only play for a single team and in a single division during a season per region."
In fact, we wanted to allow players take part in several divisions which they suit in by MMR. For example, a player of 4k5 MMR can play in both semi-pro and amateur divisions, same for Pro/Semi-Pro.
We will change it on site in a few hours. Sorry for mistake.

We are glad to announce the collaboration between Team Alpha X and our league. Alpha X becomes the home team for ATL and will represent us in other leagues as well. We believe this alliance will bring a lot of amazing stuff for both organizations as we work together on other projects as well in an effort to liven the SC2 scene . As the home team of ATL, Alpha X will strive to uphold the highest standards of sportsmanship - exemplifying professionalism, integrity, and fair play throughout all league matches.

FYI, the 12 ATL admins represent 10 different teams, so our decisions will be objective as always.

Hello . As many of you already know, Dark Society Gaming was previously barred from participating in ATL Season 13 due to conduct in the league over the previous two seasons. I had hoped that use of Battleground would give DSG an opportunity to redeem itself.
Now it seems that is not the case. Due to the above reasons and the evidence brought forth by Psistorm Gaming showing DSG's leader asking one of their players to smurf anonymously for cash, we hereby permanently ban Dark Society Gaming and their manager, @ #1495 from participation in Apha Team League in any capacity.
Please note that we do no take this action lightly, and feel that DSG has been give more than enough opportunity to correct it's behavior as an organization within our league.
Please take any questions directly to the admin team.
Thank you.
