StarLadder Season XI Announced
After a hiatus that barely lasted for a month, StarLadder is back with a new season, featuring teams from all over the world in an attempt to book their slots at the much coveted Grand Finals in Kiev, Ukraine. The online phase will begin on Nov. 14 and will end on Dec. 26, with the playoffs to be held from Jan. 15-18, 2015. The prize pool is currently slated at $80,000 dollars and could be increased through buying the Compendium.
One of the changes made to the format is that Southeast Asia now has its own double-elimination playoffs, in contrast to the round-robin format that was adopted in the past season:
