After a long break due to holidays we forgot to update our site! WHOOPS! So what has happened since we've been back? Let's see... REQZeuS won the Week 16 tournament and took home the $20 first place prize. For those that follow our casters, Rofflewoffle was extremely ill and could not participate in casting the tournament for week 16. Also today marks the opening of TheSPGL Weekly #17, hope you signed up, it has all the signs of being one of the most competitive tournaments yet. Good luck to everyone participating today.
Due to the upcoming holiday season, The Semi-Pro Gaming League, has decided to cancel the tournament that is scheduled to be held this upcoming Sunday, Decemeber 26th 2010, and the tournament being held Sunday, January 2nd, 2011. Our weekly tournaments will pick back up on January 9th, 2011 once all the dust has settled. During this time we're going to be working hard to improve our service to you and increasing the number of features on our site as well as our staff levels.
So again no tournaments 12/26/10 or 01/02/11, we'll be back on Sunday, January 9th, 2011.
From the Semi-Pro Gaming League we wish you all a happy holiday season and we'll see you soon in the new year!
Week 15 marked the largest SPGL weekly Starcraft tournament to date with over 200 registered players. We saw many familiar names as well as some first timers in the top rounds but when the dust finally settled it was long time SPGL tournament player Ruff vs the previous week's champion, tQPumpf. Ruff did his best to please the viewing crowd with some interesting off the wall TvT strategies, but tQpumpf had his number all night with the correct counter builds. To check out these interesting VODs visit the livestream channel over at www.livestream.com/thespgl
tQPumpf took home $20 while Ruff earned himself some lunch money for next week. $5.
Be sure to take a minute and read a quick interview of these players conducted by Draekan in the Starcraft forums. The thread is located here

Congratulations to SirPUMPF for defeating Psy in an intense BO5 in the SPGL week 14 Starcraft II tournament finals.
