BSL - Season 7, 8, 9, and 10!

Welcome everyone!


The long-awaited seventh installment of the Bombastic StarLeague (BSL) kicks off on the 15th of August 2019! We are proud to announce we have partnered with Blizzard Entertainment to bring you not one, but four fully-fledged, action-packed seasons of your favourite StarCraft: Remastered tournament outside of South Korea. Bombastic StarLeague Season 7—as well as seasons 8 and 9—will feature a USD $1,000 prize purse each, culminating in a USD $3,000 grand finale at Bombastic StarLeague Season 10.

The BSL is the brainchild of a hard-working crew dedicated to making the largest StarCraft : Remastered tournament circuit outside of Korea. We’d like to thank the community for the support we’ve received over the past few seasons and we hope the fruits of our labour will once again live up to everyone’s expectations.

Our goal is to create a healthy competitive environment for players outside of South Korea. The BSL is split into three separate skill-based divisions, catering to the needs of both experienced players and newcomers to the scene alike. The three levels of competition are the BSL ChoboLeague, BSL GosuLeague, and BSL ProLeague.


Key information:
  • Prize pool rundown:
    • BSL7: USD $1,000
    • BSL8: USD $1,000
    • BSL9: USD $1,000
    • BSL10: USD $3,000

  • Seasons 7 through 9 will employ the same format as BSL6, with a slight change to the Ro24 of ProLeague. This round will now be played out in a Bo1 format.
  • The Ladder Stage will be considerably shorter than in previous seasons, so best queue up as soon as you can and start climbing the ranks!
  • In addition to cash rewards (and bragging rights, of course), BSL seasons 7, 8, and 9 will award participants Bombastic Points, which will later be used to determine 20 of the 32 players seeded into BSL10.


How do I sign up?
  1. Create a new account using the BSL7- tag on any gateway BSL7-YourNickName, e.g.: BSL7-Hatchet, BSL7-HaN, BSL7-ZZZero, ..
  2. Head over to: https://bombasticstarleague.com/
  3. Register on the site and add your in-game account to the rankings
  4. Launch StarCraft: Remastered and start laddering! The Ladder Stage commences on August 15 and closes on September 07 at 23:59 CET


How do I qualify for each division?

  1. The top 20 players from the Ladder Stage get seeded directly into BSL7 ProLeague
  2. Players ranked #21 to #53 from the Ladder Stage get seeded into BSL7 GosuLeague
  3. All remaining Ladder Stage participants who completed at least 20 ladder games get seeded into BSL7 ChoboLeague

Continue improving your BSL ladder placement even after qualifying - the player with the higher ladder placement will be given priority during map vetoes.

We introduce to you BSL Points

BSL Points will be awarded throughout BSL seasons 7, 8 and 9 based on rankings in each division. These points will then be used to determine the 20 players seeded into BSL Season 10.

TournamentRules

The three upcoming seasons of the Bombastic StarLeague—seasons 7, 8 and 9—will feed into a much larger grand finale tour of BSL10. While this tournament will employ a similar structure to previous seasons, the ProLeague division of BSL10 will undergo slight structural changes.

The Champions of BSL7, BSL8, and BSL9 will all be receiving a direct seed into the BSL10 ProLeague Round of 32. The remaining spots will be distributed among the top performers of the league: 20 spots will be determined via BSL Points ranking, 8 spots will be rewarded as a result of the BSL10 ladder stage, and a final 16-man last-chance tournament for ladder players ranked 9th through 24th will determine the final spot.

Note that we are still finalising all the details regarding BSL10 GosuLeague and BSL10 ChoboLeague. Keep an eye out for further announcements.

BSL10 ProLeague format

  • Ro32 Group Stage – Eight groups of four players each, double elimination, best-of-three. The top 2 players in each group advance to the Ro16.
  • Ro16 Group Stage – Four groups of four players each, double elimination, best-of-three. The top 2 players in each group advance to the Ro8.
  • Ro8 – One swiss-style group, best-of-three, the top 6 advances to the final stage.
  • Final Stage – stepladder playoffs: 6th place finisher vs 5th place finisher → winner vs 4th place finisher → winner vs 3rd place finisher → winner vs 2nd place finisher → winner vs 1st place finisher (Grand finale).

TournamentRules
1. The tournament is residency locked.


The goal of the Bombastic StarLeague is to focus on the development of players outside of Korea. Therefore, only players that are living outside of South Korea can participate in this tournament.


2. Regular match rules

  • Players must be online and available on Battle.net channel Op BSL (Europe) 15 minutes before their scheduled match. Secondary channel of communication is BSL Open Discord server.
  • 15 minutes after scheduled time, if one of the players not responding, his opponent may claim a technical win for one game.
  • 15 minutes after that he can claim a win for the whole series.


3. Playing matches before the schedule

  • Every match prior to the Elimination Stage can be played ahead of schedule if both players and admins agree.
  • Contact your opponent and set up the date to play. We strongly suggest using BSL Open Discord for this so admins can keep track of things.
  • On the selected day, play your match. Apply the same rules as for a regular match - use Op BSL and Discord to communicate.
  • If both players were unable to play on their selected date/time or weren't able to set one up, match should be played as it was scheduled.
  • It is not allowed to livestream your games or announce the result if you are playing your match earlier.
  • Winner of the match must upload the replays to the admins.


4. Latency

Default Turn Rate setting is DTR. If both players agree, Turn Rate setting can be changed.


5. Disconnects

If one of the players gets disconnected from the game before the 2-minute mark, the game must be replayed. If one of the players had an advantage after the 2 minute mark, the decision is up to the admin.


6. Casting the game

Everyone should allow ZZZero or another official caster to join the game for broadcast.


7. Everyone must join the BSL Official Discord channel

Awesome news!

A minor thing regarding the picture of the BSL7 tournament structure, it says that I am seeded for Ro16 but I should be seeded for Ro24.
