The SC2Improve Winter League 2013 is the second Winter League hosted by the SC2Improve community. SC2Improve is a practice group community found and managed by Wardí on EU Battle.net, residing in the channel and group SC2Improve. The groups focus is to help players improve by providing a social aspect to Starcraft 2 as well as a place to find practice partners, discuss strategies and play in tournaments. The SC2Improve Winter League is the follow up to the hugely successful SC2Improve Summer League 2013 which saw over 700 players take part.

Open to all leagues, the tournament is about bringing people together to enjoy the game as well as to provide a sense of competition with €400 up for grabs!
