Dear SSL Community,
During our recent meeting about the upcoming changes to the future of SSL, we collected a number of questions from teams. Over the past few days, we’ve worked on refining the answers to these questions to ensure they’re as clear and complete as possible. You can find the Q&A document via this link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lLeh3k7SooGyQMHSYwvKs6kNTPWL-fqwNKZRlrjw...
We hope this will help clarify some of the topics discussed and provide additional context for the changes ahead. If anything is still unclear or new questions come up, please do not hesitate to reach out to us or mention your concerns in the surveys. We are here to support you and the league.
A quick reminder: the deadline to complete all three surveys is 22 August AoE. Your input is extremely valuable in helping us understand the league’s needs and how we can best support its future.
Thank you again for your active participation and engagement in shaping the future of the SSL. Kind regards,
SSL OC/TC/EC
