Observer needed (KR): We’re looking for someone from Korea to obs the games. If you can help, please PM me. 🙂
Support & Sponsorship We have funding for the first month of showmatches vs Koreans - sponsored by Rus_Brain.
To keep this running monthly, we’re looking for a $600 sponsor each month. We can also run it bi-monthly, but it would be amazing to have showmatches vs Koreans on regular basis. I think it would be movitation for a lot of players to imprive. You can also support via Matcherino: matcherino.com/tournaments/140813/overview
Sponsors can ask for certain showmatch / try to arrange certain Korean players.
This would also let us run a monthly SB Ladder for challenges to qualify into Team A and play these showmatches.
If you want to help us spread the news that BSL Season 21 Started, feel free to use all the graphics here during your stream or on your social media. Thank you <3
We will move Team A Showmatches one week forward - we will be starting next Saturday instead of today. We will have a Korean observer next weekend, so it should allow us to cast the games live.
First of all, I'd like to praise this initiative, and say I hope to see more in the future. Organizing tournaments isnt easy or straightforward, and the efforts of the organizers should be acknowledged.
That being said, I would be far more likely to consider helping financially sponsor future events, on condition that organizers prioritize the playing environment for the competitors. Sorry, but until then, it is just not something can be taken seriously.
More resources and time needs to be invested in streamlining a more optimal playing environment, with agreed-upon standards: i.e. reduced latency by playing 1v1 on normal maps with no observers, casting games from replays instead of live, finding an optimal time of day for all the players (not at 4AM...), encouraging/requiring koreans to use Shield Battery which has better netcode, forbidding ingame observers which increases lag, having up to date maps and out-of-date maps need to stop being used, last-minute changes to player lineups which wastes player's preparation leading up to the event, etc. etc. etc. For what reasons are playing environement issues continuing to plague events? Good reasons perhaps. These issues are not prioritized because ______ (tournament organizers kindly finish this sentence).

Otherwise it was fun, thanks for the gg's.
Europeans can play on tr24 high vs koreans if they use a vpn. Casting from replays and having good ping games seems like a no-brainer.
Unfortunately, these events and BSL as well has never handled ping problems particularly well.
