AWESOME AWESOME POWER!!!!
GAME ON!!!!

[jvalmer]

Are all games only in Seoul? Maybe make this a national thing? But I guess the logistics of that would be tough.

[CP]

All of the teams, sponsors and the league are based in and around Seoul. Our games are every Sunday. Tournaments and head to head matches with other cities happen once in a while. For example, Daegu, Busan and Ulsan have all sent teams up to Seoul. We have sent teams to Daegu and Ulsan. Jeju has a group just starting up as well. We have also gone abroad to Japan, Hong Kong and Thailand. We`ve also hosted international teams from those countries. Just would be too hard to manage a national league even if teams from other cities were as organized as we are.

bumped -

a few weeks away now and spots are quickly filling up. Don't wait until the last minute as we fill up every season and often have to turn people away, which really sucks.

[CP]

With about two weeks left before the season starts the league is almost full. Be sure to get one of the last few spots now.
