Hey so Shadowz when would be a good time for you guys to continue our games? By the way apologies for being absent yesterday but my body clock was extremely messed up and I ended up 'napping' until 11PM.
Hey guys, this post isn't a happy one but it has to be done none-the-less.
Some evidence came into light tonight that there was yet more smurfing, with certain players being WAY too highly ranked on other servers (Diamond with over 100 wins) and owning up on SEA and other players knowing about it but staying silent. This is against the rules which were made clear over 10 weeks ago.
Without getting into too many details (as it's between the admins and KA's team leader) we have basically decided that FaDe A are awarded the win over KA. It's really unfortunate, but in the interest of fairness and consistency we feel it's necessary to change the result.
KA aren't removed from the tournament, they still have a second life in the finals but will do so without the offending players. I wish them the best of luck, and don't blame anyone except the offenders for the transgression and I hope you all do the same.
We've had a really hard time with smurfers in this season of BSGCL (as anyone who regulates this thread will realise) and need to come down hard on it, I'm sure you all understand why there is a zero tolerance policy on smurfing. It's a bit late to massage any new rules into the list, but (for the 100th time lol) I assure you that next year we will have something that will be a lot fairer on people from multiple leagues of every tier. Keep your eyes peeled for that
Sorry about the sombre nature of this post, but I'm sure you appreciate the disclosure as much as we, the admins, appreciate it from you; the BSG community. Good luck and have fun for the rest of the finals
I'll be collecting my teams NA account details on sc2ranks.com and posting their leagues here when I have...
Full disclosure, imo is now expected.. too many silly smurfs ruining this league.. -_-

Agreed... what happened to fair play guys. The more smurf, the harder it is for comps like this to run; the less likely comps like this will actually happen; and the less likely players will WANT to play in these comps. So use your heads! you're ruining it for the community while you attempt to get your cheated glory.
Kudos to the admins for having epic patience and tolerence this season of the BSGCL... I appreciate it and I am sure all involved in BSGCL do to.
Its a shame that this season has been rife with this kind of activity and it disheartens me to see it happen (or to be found out) yet again, and to make it worse its during the finals!
Keep your heads high guys, greater things are coming in future.
In the mean time, team captains / managers PLEASE be diligent in checking your players.
No matter how well you may know or trust someone, time has proven we cannot slack off when it comes to ensuring the rules are followed and the league remains fair.
