This is the third installment of the monthly BSG Open. As participation levels have not been stellar, Slayer and I have decided to allow off-racers to participate IF AND ONLY IF less than 4 true BSG players sign up. If this happens, then there is no prize, just playing for the fun of it ^^ Obviously, the more BSG players that consistently sign up, the more often this tournament will happen. Also, when you sign up, be sure that you'll be able to make it. It makes it easier to see the numbers and thus create an optimal tournament. Thanks
The winner of the BSG each week is awarded with one hour of professional coaching from a coach in this thread (link) and... "Unearthed Talent" Achievement
Awarded to every sc2sea BSG winner!
Indeed, if you sign up for this BSG, you too can become an immortal of SC2SEA like yours truly.

Rules
You must contact your opponent on Battle.net preferably by being in chat channel "sc2seaBSG" to play your match
You have ~15 minutes to start your Round 1 match; anybody that is not contactable after 10 minutes will be disqualified. This 10 minute timeout rule applies throughout the tournament.
You must play your main 1v1 ladder race throughout tournament.
You must play all your games on SEA unless both players agree to play on NA and have informed an admin. You must both then report back immediately.
Observers: Tournament admins or official streamers are always allowed and the only ones to observe your game
Problems/Questions: When in doubt about anything, contact an admin

Bad Manner will not be tolerated. Anyone caught BMing will be warned. Further offenses will lead to disqualification. Any racist, hateful or excessively derogatory language may lead to removal without warning. We are a friendly group and we'd like to see it stay that way.
Replays: Should be saved at least until the following tournament. Anyone asked by admins to provide a replay who cannot do so will be disqualified.
Anyone suspected of smurfing (playing another person's account, manipulating ladder to be in a lower league) will be thoroughly investigated and if found guilty, prizes will be stripped and they will be reported to Blizzard and added to the Hall of Shame.
