SC2SEA.com's BSG Open #05 will be a 64-player event, down from 128 players due to the last minute confirmation. Skybreaker the legend behind the BSGs had his cpu attacked by the infamous BSOD and we prepared to skip it this week. BUT the demand for the tournament turned out to be too high, so our new trial staff Sixth.451 will step in just for this week to help run it! Do report all results by PMing him.

FAQ
Skybbreaker has written up a short FAQ covering a few questions that he gets asked quite a bit throughout the tournament. Please ensure you read through them to maximize the smoothness of the tournament.

A) Their battle.net name and character code should be in their sc2sea.com profile, if it isn't, try finding them via the chat. If you have no success tracking them down, please wait 15minutes before messaging me informing me of the scenario and I will DQ the player.

Q) What map am I on?
A) Please refer to the rules and regulations of the tournament.

Q) I'm ready for my RoX match! Where is my opponent?

Congrats Noobinator on taking out sc2sea's fifth and smallest BSG Open Tournament! What were your thoughts on the tournament, as a whole?
It was great that the tournament still went ahead despite the SkyBreaker's PC dying. All things considered it was really well organised so props to Nirvana & Sixth on that

How old are you and where are you playing from?
18 from soggy north Queensland, Ausy Ausy Ausy!

Oh! How are things in QLD these days?
Dryer. Floods didn't hit where I live thankfully, but the state's been better. :P

So a lot of the past winners of the BSG have moved up to platinum shortly after, do you think you will be following suit? What is your advice for similar players in your position?
Well considering I just got promoted to silver 2 days ago I think I've got a ways to go yet. One day soon though hopefully. I think everyone will agree that lower level plays need to first and foremost focus on their macro skills. That said, we've got plenty to improve in all areas so I'm personally trying to improve my micro right now.

Yeah I definitely agree with you, macro is the key for beginners! Well thanks for joining the BSG#5 and I hope you had fun, good luck in your future endeavours
Thanks, I'll be back next week
