With the increasing numbers of users participating in Starcraft 2 competitions everyday on Beyond Gaming we have created this getting started guide for new users to get you up and playing quicker and answer some of the most commonly asked questions.


If you have any questions or issues we do not outline in this guide please feel free to contact an admin on Beyond Gaming anytime for assistance.


1.Create a Beyond Gaming Account and Setup BGLink.

Before you can join any Starcraft 2 competition on Beyond Gaming you must first have your Starcraft 2 account attached to your Beyond Gaming profile.

There are 2 ways to edit your Beyond Gaming Profile information:

Option 1: Sign into your Beyond Gaming account, click on your name in the upper right hand corner and click edit profile.
( If you do not already have a Beyond Gaming account you can create one here.)


[image loading]


Once in your profile screen scroll down to the StarCraft 2 Character name and Character code boxes. Add your character name and character code than click save.

You are now ready to sign up for Starcraft 2 competitions on Beyond Gaming.

Or


Option 2: Download and install BGLink and Sign in with your Beyond Gaming account credentials. (If you do not already have a Beyond Gaming account you can create one, right from BGLink.)

Download BGLink here..


[image loading]



Once logged into BGLink click on the settings tab. Under Game Settings you will see a Button that says Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty.

[image loading]



Click the Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty button and you will be shown the options to set your Character Name and Character code. If you already know your Character name and Character code fill in each option and click set. If you do not know your Character name and Character code simply click the set button on the Character Name and Charcter Code fields and BGLink will automatically detect your Starcraft 2 account information. Once you have detected your correct account information click done.


[image loading]


You are now ready to play Starcraft 2 on Beyond Gaming. Please note BGLink is required to be running during all Starcraft 2 competitions played on Beyond Gaming. If you created your Beyond Gaming account by signing up directly through the site, be sure to download and install BGLink here.


2.Finding and Joining Competitions.

Once you have setup your Beyond Gaming account with your Starcraft 2 user information and are ready to start playing you will need to find a competition. There are two ways to find and join a Beyond Gaming competition.


Option 1: Visit the Beyond Gaming website and you will notice two competition categories: Match and Tournament. Under each of these categories you will notice sub-categories like Free-For-All, Singles and Team. Choose the type of competition you want to play in the sub-categories and you will be taken to the competition directory.


[image loading]


Once you are in the competition directory you can view all the competitions being played in that category, or use the filter options to find competitions for specific games and platforms. As soon as you decide on a competition you want to join click on that competition to view the competition details.


[image loading]


When you are inside the competition details screen you will be able to view all the details of that competition. Once you have reviewed all of the details of the competition and are ready to join simply hit the join button in the top left hand corner of the page. You have now joined the competition.

OR


Option 2: Start up and Sign into BGLink. (You should already have downloaded and installed BGLink at this point.) Once signed in click on the “PLAY” tab if you are not already there. From the “Play” tab on BGLink you can view all competitions by platform and competition type (i.e. matches or tournaments) and join them right from BGLink by simply clicking join on any of the competitions.

[image loading]



*note some competitions on Beyond Gaming will require a buy in with Beyond Gaming tokens. Make sure you have enough tokens in your Beyond Gaming account when trying to enter these types of competitions or you will not be able to join.


3.Playing the Competition

Once you have successfully joined a competition you are ready to play. At the start of the competition the competition bracket will automatically build out. Simply return to the page you joined the competition on or click on the competition in the schedule tab of BGLink to view the bracket and locate your first match.


[image loading]


Once you have located your first match you can retrieve your opponent's Starcraft 2 Character name and Character code by simply scrolling over their name with the mouse pointer. Once you have this information you can add them as a friend inside the Starcraft 2 client and proceed to play your match.


[image loading]


BEFORE YOU START YOUR MATCH :
  • Make sure BGLink is installed and running. BGLink must be running for the entirety of the competition or your matches will not track and could hinder the progress of the competition.
  • Please make sure you have reviewed the rules and guidelines of the competition. This area will also contain the map pool information for the competition.
  • Make sure you know whether you are Home or Away on the competition bracket. This will tell you who is Host and defines the order of map picks.


As soon as you have completed your match there is nothing else to do. BGLink automatically tracks reports the results of your matches to Beyond Gaming. If you have moved up in the bracket you simply need to wait until the next round has begun to continue progressing through the competition.


4.Getting Help

If at any time while competing on Beyond Gaming you feel you are in need of assistance our Admins are always available to help resolve you issues. You can contact our Admins a number of different ways :
  • Messaging them directly using the chat on Beyond Gaming.
  • Message them in game or by joining the designated in-game chat channel
  • Post a Message on the competition wall you are playing in.


*Admin and contact information can be found under the rules tab for each competition.
Please be clear with your problem and also patient with our Admins when you contact them as they are very busy but will make every effort to solve you issue in a timely and constructive manner.


5.Tokens and Prizes

Many competitions on Beyond Gaming are played with tokens or have some other form of prize available to the winner or winners. Token prizes are automatically dispersed upon completion of the competition while other prizes may require shipping or further processing. Please make sure you have included a valid email on your Beyond Gaming account to make prize fulfillment a smoother process


If you have any further questions that you do not see answered here please feel free to message us or visit Beyond Gaming and message one of the site Admins.

Well it looks like they support a lot more games than Playhem. But it is a similar idea... play for points which you can trade for prizes/money or w/e. Playhem has just been around longer. But these guys sponsor EG, so of course I will support them
Wahaha

Isn't this better put in sc2 general rather than blogs?

I literally just heard of beyondgaming because of an ad in the MCSL EG v Liquid matches.
The site looks a little bit sloppy and there don't seem to be any "freeroll" tourneys, nor much activity.
I don't plan on putting any money into this site until I see something worthwhile but I will play some games with the BH link software to see how it feels.

Yeah, there are daily tournaments. But no entry fee and no pot, so I might as well ladder? Or play playhem, obviously.
