SC2SEA.COM's BSG Open #06

Hey guys! I'm back :) I've got my computer back; and it seems somewhat more stable these day than it did the other week, which is good! Also, after some deliberation I have slightly modified the format of the BSG Open and this will most likely be the layout for the weeks to come.

I'd also like to give a shout-out to Sixth for putting together last weeks BSG on such short-notice and to Nirvana for giving him a hand =) So with that house-keeping aside, onto the details of this weeks BSG Open...

The BSG Open #06 is a 64-player event.

The hall of fame, for SC2SEA.com's BSG Open, thus far:
