The MafiaScum StarCraft 2 League (MSSL) will be the first organized StarCraft 2 league with recurring seasons on Mafiascum.net. Season 1 will feature a 16 player pool as well as cash prizes for the top 4 placing players, and a possibility at being casted. Signups will begin on April 18th, and last for two weeks. The league will then begin.
The first season of the MSSL will be a 16 player tournament featuring a round robin pool play phase, and a single elimination bracket phase. Players for the first season will be seeded based on ladder rank and league placement. Should there be more than 16 players signed up, there will be play-in matches for the last 4 spots in the tournament. A maximum of 24 players will be accepted to sign up, and it will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. Should there be less, the players will be organized accordingly. Should this situation appear to be arising, the format will be replaced beforehand. With 16 players, the top two from each group will advance into the bracket phase. From there, the single elimination bracket will be played out until a champion is crowned. A match to separate 3rd and 4th place will also be played.
(Groupings will be 1, 8, 9, 16; 2, 7, 10, 15; 3, 6, 11, 14; 4, 5, 12, 13)
The map pool will be the following:
- Terminus RE
- Xel'Naga Caverns
- Metalopolis
- Xel'Naga Fortress
- Scrap Station
- The Shattered Temple
The MSSL will feature a $100 prize pool for its inaugural season.
- 1st Place: $50
- 2nd Place: $25
- 3rd Place: $15
- 4th Place: $10
