BWCL season 58 started last week, Sunday, February 26th at 19:00 CEST.

This season we merged back E and D for a total of 4 divisions for the BWCL itself and an extra MMR locked division called the Little league, with a MMR cap at 1650. Since ladder just reset, we may re-adjust that going forward.

Last season, Cwt) retained their title in division A while mG won in the little league, will they manage to go for the treble this time?

The rules haven't changed much but on the map side of things, after several seasons of feedback and complains, we worked hard behind the scenes on a way forward and we decided to consult with the squad leaders in a series of polls over the summer to come up with our 1v1 map pool. This was before Blizzard released theirs for the new ladder season but thankfully we have a lot of overlap, and so does the ASL (which was a big inspiration).
As for the 2v2, the amazing team at Shield Battery was kind enough to provide us advance notice of their map pool and we selected 4 of those for this season so that every one can practice directly on Shield Battery to be ready for the CW.

We also modified the playoffs systems after consulting with the squad leaders:

Now each division champion will automatically go up a division, while the bottom ranked team of a division will automatically go down. There will still be a playoff match between the 2nd of a division and the second to last of the above one (example 2nd of div-B plays 5th of div-A for the last div-A spot).

Moreover for the championship, the first rank of division A gets a bye first, while #2 faces #3, and the winner of that faces #1 for the title. #4 is no longer in the race for playoffs. We hope this, in conjonction with the previous change for auto demotion/promotion will push division A to be more fiercely fought during the later weeks.


MAPS

The maps for this season are:

We hope this will satisfy most (and preferably all) of you

If you do not know some of the 1v1 maps I invite you to look over the ASL page and for the 2v2 please head to the Shield Battery thread HERE

DIVISIONS


The season will play out using a revamped drive to make it more automated. We also have only 4 divisions and the little league this time, with division D having 9 clans.

As usual, it will be 4 1v1 and 1 2v2, all of them BO3. Each BO3 win is +1 point, and winning the CW provides an additional point.

A link to the grid is available to all squad leaders.

Here is the list of clans per division:

New Admins

iRk-CamoDaz retired from the CL Superadmin position and is being replaced by [mG]Qu3en in the role.
I invite you to read CamoDaz's interview HERE

We have slowly added to our numbers over the season, and we now work with other leagues too, but we are still always interested in new people, even if you have limited (or no) experience. We created a Junior Admin position a few seasons back to ease newcomers into the role, so don't be shy. It is less daunting that it may look, the rules are clear enough to be easily applied and the tricky cases are discussed collegially.

If you want to help out without being a league admin, other positions are also open. Most importantly:

- Anyone who wants to help with (written) coverage of the league
- Casters (experienced or not, S-Class or total newb, we support anyone)
- Translators for the Spanish community
- Optional: Translators for other (Russian, Polish, Portuguese)
- Any liquipedia help will be hugely appreciated as well


Apply to ash.Baal#9430 on Discord or reach out to me here.


We hope you enjoy this new season with us and good luck to all the clans!
