Team Arena Challenge 2 Qualifier 1 Finals
This will be a double-elimination best-of-9 format. Matches consist of each team utilizing up to five players in succession to defeat the other team’s roster. The two players for the first game will be chosen blindly, and the winning player from each game will move on to the next until all five chosen players of the opposing team are defeated. If a team loses their first match, they will proceed to the lower bracket and have another chance to fight their way to the finals. If a team loses two matches, they are eliminated from the tournament.
The second qualifier will be starting Sunday, January 15 at 10:00 a.m. PST and will be broadcast the following week on IPL TV. More information on the tournament can be found on the IPL TAC 2 Liquipedia page and in the Team Liquid IPL TAC 2 thread.

"Craving clan-battle action?"
Why, yes. . which is why I really wish that SC2, as an eSport, would have Clan support. . . :P *hint* *hint*
That aside, I remeber this being mentioned but I had forgotten... Great job Malarh, thanks!
