Introduction:
This season, there are 6 ladder stage tournaments. 3 are open for everyone, and 3 are limited to people who are below top32 in the BSL10 Point rankings. This has been done to give more incentive for players who are are not at the very top foreign scene, or are inactive. After the end of BSL season 9, top 20 players from the point ranking will be seeded into BSL10, which has $5000 prizepool.

Open tours have a $100 prizepool, and also award BSL10 points.
Gosu & Chobo tours only award BSL10 points.

To participate, you need to have played at least 20 games on your BSL8 ladder account.

Here you can see the top32 players in the BSL10 point rankings (they can play in the Open tours, but not in the Gosu & Chobo tours). For full rankings, check BSL10 Point rankings

Does anyone know what happened in the Terror vs Bonyth TvP game on Clay Fields? Top vs Bottom spawns. It looks like Protoss got up to 4 base, had 1 arbiter then went 3 stargate carrier, but we didnt get to see how it played out in the VOD.
