The Open[edit]
On September 7th, 2010, TeamLiquid announced a new series of tournaments: The TL Open, 512 player open registration StarCraft II tournaments run entirely through the website. Each event will alternate between the EU and US servers and have individual sponsors. Each event has a varying prizepool between $200 and $500. Each event has designated casters for the early stages until the Ro4 where the games will be played, then cast from Replays by DJWheat and Chill. Currently the Team Liquid Open has run four events and has just started a series of Opens sponsored by TeamSpeak 3.
TeamSpeak Series[edit]
On November 16th 2010, TeamLiquid announced a series of 12 events sponsored by TeamSpeak 3.0[1]. Each tournament will have a $200 prize pool and will alternate between the EU and NA servers. The first tournament will launch on the EU server on November 27th.
Alongside the sponsorship money, TeamSpeak also provided TeamLiquid with their own TeamSpeak 3.0 server.[2]
