SC2SEA.com's Bronze, Silver & Gold Open Tournament #01

The SC2SEA BSG Open #01 will consist of 32 players, however if the interest grows, we will increase the player cap in the following weeks to meet the demand. We're hoping to have a large amount of players and have this a reoccurring event, happening weekly.

If all goes to plan, aLtnirvAnA will be organising a SCII SEA/ANZ professional to do some guest-commentary & live-streaming to kick off the start of this tournament for SC2SEA.com. This will be a great way for players in the bronze, silver and gold league to tune-in and take on-board some solid tried and true advice from a professional player! It'll also allow you to spot the mistakes in your own game-play that are keeping you from progressing up the ranks! Even if you're not participating in this tournament, tuning in to the live-stream and commentary will still prove beneficial to you!

Also, please take care and ensure you read the details listed below to avoid any confusion regarding tournament dates, times and sign-up times.

The current prize pool will be all the fame and glory that is associated with winning a SCII tournament, as well as a short interview with the winner on the site (www.sc2sea.com). Over the next few weeks we be looking into adding more incentives for players, such as 1-on-1 training lessons with a SCII pro, among other amazing prizes that will help you become a better SCII gamer!

We would like for all people from the gold, silver and bronze league to join, participate and most importantly, have a good time!

*SIGN-UP INFORMATION:

Just in-case you guys were wondering, the reason we are opening registration on the same day as the tournament is to hopefully reduce as many 'no-shows' as possible to ensure that all participants have a smooth and enjoyable experience in SC2SEA.com's first BSG Open! When the registration opens, all participants will be added to my reserved post below.

Looking forward to it guys!
Kind regards,
SkyBreaker.
