BSL Season 19 and 20


My dear community of StarCraft lovers, thank you for loving this game so much and being with us for the last 18 seasons.

Let me remind you how we get here:
[image loading]


We had BSL18 thanks to the support of Mr. Rus_Brain, CRVT, and all the other supporters

I know the times are hard, that's why I'm even more grateful for the support from those gentlemen.

I’m proud to announce that we have been supported by the legends themselves. Mr. Victor Goossens aka “Liquid`Nazgul”, along with his TeamLiquid co-CEO Steve aka “LiQuiD112”, supported BSL with a huge donation of $6000. It’s worth noticing that they donated it from their personal pockets.

Get to know our sponsors:
Legend NO: 1 - Victor “Nazgul” Goossens
[image loading]


Most of you know him as the creator of the most known and valuable Esports team and Co-CEO of TeamLiquid. But all the StarCraft fans know him as a StarCraft legend - he was one of the first ones and the only ones outside Korea who joined the Korean StarCraft Pro team - AMD (along with Elky, Grrrr, Gundam, Jinnam and Jinsu). He founded TL.Net in May 2001.
Check out an article about Nazgul by TeamLiquid here
Interesting quote”“ I still remember when replays came out,” he recounts.
You have no VOD, you have no stream, you have no replays. The only way you could ever see another person play StarCraft was literally join their game as an observer and watch. It was the only way! Then replays came out and it was mind blowing.

Most of us remember that as well, replays were level 2 of possibility to learn something from other players. Now we are at level 3 with first person view streams - that's the era of foreigner in ASL. Let's make it happen!

Legend NO: 2 Steven “LiQuiD112” Arhancet
[image loading]

Most of you know him as the Co-CEO of TeamLiquid, but he was co-partner in crime with Nazgul to create Team Liquid Legacy as we know it today. He’s a founder of Team Curse, which merged with TeamLiquid in January 2015, his teams in LoL, Street Fighter and Super Smash Bros joined the TeamLiquid roster.
Interesting podcast with Steve, it’s worth checking out at least the “background” part of the this interview.
Here is a full interview with Steve click

Liquid`Nazgul on supporting BSL:
Brood War is an incredibly special and important game to me. It led to the creation of Team Liquid in its original form, and let me travel to Korea and be a part of its early Esports scene. It's amazing to see that over twenty years since I played professionally, Brood War is still going strong because of the passionate community.

Even though Korea has long been the center of the BW scene, I believe it's valuable for players from all over the world to have meaningful competitive experiences. Foreigner competitions were a big opportunity for players like me, and it's why TL worked to host the TSL and TLS series of tournaments. That's why I'm personally putting my support behind the BSL so the top players in the foreign scene continue to have a place to test their skills, and have a goal to strive for.

Steve is also an old school gamer who enjoyed Brood War in its heyday, even if he wasn't as involved in Esports back then. He wants to show his personal support for BW now, both as a fan of the game and because he knows how important it is to me and to Team Liquid. We want to honor TL's history and keep building its legacy in doing so.

Good luck to all the competitors, and we hope these upcoming seasons of the BSL are the best yet.


It warms my heart that after all these years, such Legends care about the well being of StarCraft outside Korea. I don’t think there could have been a bigger form of appreciation than having the support of such great business men, as well as kick-ass gamers, it’s a huge motivation to continue my work on this wonderful game. The dream continues for two more seasons! Fasten your seat belts guys and keep practicing!

BSL Season 19 - Start time ~ September
BSL Season 20 - Start time ~ January

I also would like to show my appreciation towards all TeamLiquid and TL.Net crew - everyone is very helpful there and share the same goal, of keeping the roots of Esports alive. Special thanks to Mr. Waxangel for all his help!

BSL is alive only thanks to the support from the community. Feel free to join the BSL Patreon if you like our efforts to keep the scene active. You can check all the Patreons HERE <3

Big W Nazgul and Steve. I always dreamed to play a TSL (and still hope one day to play one ) So seeing the founder of TL funding BSL is so insane and truly appreciated. This proly means my dream of playing a TSL is most likely not happening but who knows what the future comes with.

ZZZero i hope you take this opportunity to bring something else than power bound to your tournaments . On God.
