BSL 2v2 ProLeague x ShieldBattery - SIGN UP NOW!

---

Nostalgic music in my head... Back in the days, when I was playing StarCraft actively, we used to have plenty of team leagues, and 2v2 always was a part of every Clan War and Nation War which were organized. Today, with the effort of amazing people from ShieldBattery crew - we have working 2v2 matchmaking system on ShieldBattery. Yes, this matchmaking system which Blizzard has been trying to implement for 5 years already.

ShieldBattery is an application created by people who really love StarCraft and understand how we operate and what we need as a community. Their goal is to create a platform which will carry the technical needs of best players like lower latency, as well as enable easy social interactions with friends. They are doing it for the true passion for the game and I will always respect and help people like that.

That's why I would like to invite you for the First Season of BSL 2v2 ProLeague on ShieldBattery. Our goal is to make this event a regular thing with many seasons to come. I know that many 1v1 players really like 2v2, but I also know that there are many 2v2-only users. I hope we will reach them and they will bring refreshing new blood to our scene!

• At the end of the ladder stage Rank 1 player gets to pick any player in the Top 100 in 2v2 Ladder Rankings assuming they both agree, and then Rank 2 player, etc until 16 teams are formed.
  
• At this point every player needs to confirm their participation in the BSL discord.
  

• 16 teams qualify to the final stage

• Send all your replays whether you won or lost to BSL admins, the reason is that we will cast from replays randomly using winners or losers to not spoil the results with the in-game chat.

At the end of May, Trovo closed their support programs for tournament organizers. However, they were satisfied with BSL results and they want to keep some movement on BSL Trovo Channel until they will bring their support programs back.
