Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

The BSG will return back to it's normal single elimination format this time. Thank you for participating in our Swiss format last week, the participation is greatly appreciated. It will return to 64 player format, however, there is a few announcement for BSG:

1. In regards to the BSG Coaches Signup page. The prizes this week will be coaching by either rLsCure(Terran), ProAnnn(Zerg), and GGNore(Protoss)! But thats not alll...

2. This is the official announcement of BSG Cup! BSG Cup will comprise of 8 BSG finalist from 4 BSG tournament playing off against one another in hopes of winning the prize money! To be eligible, you have to be a finalist (1st and 2nd place) of a BSG tournament. Yes, we know this might increase smurfing incident, just let us take care of it. This will be the first BSG tournament that will entitle the finalists a spot on the BSG Cup. So good luck! More details (Like the prize money, will be sorted out shortly (or eventually).

3. Remember Kringe? Some say he is a smurfette in disguise for a BSG victory, and he is raging at me for some reason that I wouldn't know! All we know is, his victory for the last BSG is voided for not submitted the replays after the deadline. So officially, Aeropunk is the victor of BSG #15.

4. Rules and Regulations will be reinforced strictly from this point onwards, so I hope everyone will give it a read to make sure that they would not be in trouble with it. For any doubts, do not hesistate to PM either me or Zergtastic.
