If you reach top 15 on both Battle net ladder, and Shield Battery ladder, you'll earn points for both. If you only reach top 15 in one of them, you'll also only get points for one of them.

It's a great initiative, in my opinion, as it motivates players to use Shield Battery. And through that BSL also supports other events (f.ex. BWCL) and initiatives (f.ex. Shield Battery) in the community.

It also motivates players to be more active, since activity grants points. Not just ladder points.
It's ok. I still love you <3

A battle.net ladder will be held as usual - determining ranks for most leagues. SB ladders, weekly tournaments and other events are used to distribute BSL points on top of that, in order to qualify for ProLeague and parts of GosuLeague. You can simply just play the bnet ladder if you don't want to participate in anything else.

A battle.net ladder in independent of this whole monthly SB ladder thing. The SB ladder events are simply 1 month long events to gain BSL points. Much like the weekly tournaments on Saturdays are there to give BSL points (on top of the $75 prize pool for extra motivation to sign up).
