A very busy season is opening in May with plenty of online leagues starting up, and the first one is SLTV StarSeries VI. This time around we have decided to feature our Dreamteam game throughout the lengthy competition and we hope that will make watching the matches more interesting for you.

The previous season of SLTV StarSeries brought us NiP's first defeat on LAN and the Swedes will surely be looking for revenge in this $15,000 competition. It will begin with a lengthy online season featuring 16 teams, lasting around a month and a half.

Here is the full list of participants:

NiP	Virtus.pro
Natus Vincere	ESC Gaming
fnatic	Hawks
k1ck	ALTERNATE
zNation	ENTiTY
CPLAY	KerchNET
SuperstarS	dAT
ELTZ	/10/

They will be battling for a spot in the top four which will lead them to the LAN finals, but these teams will also be trying to avoid the bottom four which could see them relegated next season.

The schedule, as usual with most online leagues, is flexible and mostly up to the teams and their availability. We will be announcing match-ups one or two days ahead in order to give you a sufficient amount of time to prepare your team while considering transfer fees.

However, it's important to note that the teams have two "wildcards" during the season which they can use up to 6 hours before their match is scheduled to start, as well as two "free transfers" up to 24 hours before a scheduled match.

Regarding roster changes, according to the league's rules, teams are allowed to have 2 stand-ins during the season. They are required to announce their match lineup 4 hours before the start, so we will do our best to keep you fully updated at all times. You can also visit StarLadder's website to double check the rosters, as well as match dates and times.

We currently have no prizes lined up to give away, but we will try to acquire some soon. We will let you know as soon as we have some news on that topic.
