A stupid question but where and when can I register? I remember finding the link for BSG #01 but since then, I've never had any luck finding it. Am I just not looking at the right spot? I'm finally free to participate in this weekly tournament after being busy for the past month....

And hello, Aean.

I'm pretty sure you're the same dude from the protoss strategy channel.

I'm a kiwi mate, with school and all it's so hard to even try to enter any tournaments at all, 1 hour would help but if it was on a Friday it would be even better.

Hi pikk,

The link will be opened on the day of the tournament itself. It will be updated on the first post of this thread. You can also find the link on the main page of the SC2SEA website.

I'm sorry that the timing is an inconvenience, but we can't try to suit everyone's timing. We can only do our best to try to get the best of everyone's time. 9pm Melbourne time is 6pm SGT, where on a working and schooling day, they may have just returned home or something whereas the tournament will end approximately midnight for Australians, or slightly longer. Do keep in mind of daylight savings.

Lastly, this week's BSG is scheduled to be on Thursday. There will be no change in that. However, we will discuss the need for possible change in the day of the BSG being held for further BSG tournaments.

Seriously is it ok to drop rank & play in the tourney? Because I was DQ before the tourney in BSG 06 by Skybreaker (yes I understand & fully support that its his prerogative as its his tourney) . Yes, I do drop games just to farm icons but I'm pretty sure I'm only about high gold in 1v1 with 70 apm.

Anyway, its not a big deal, but I would like to join one of the future BSGs too. If I'm still not eligible, its fine as well, not pushing it

Yes, it is possible to drop rank and play in the tournament, but we prefer that if you drop naturally rather than forcefully. Do note that, we there is suspicion of you being a smurf (a player who is better than BSG level), it is possible for you to be banned from any future BSG or SC2SEA tournament as well as from the site itself. We do not encourage people to drop their ranks just to play in the tournament.

My prerogative had nothing to do with the reason I disqualified you from last weeks BSG; it's just a matter of the rules. You were platinum when you asked if you could participate; it's a bronze, silver and gold tournament, it's kind of a no-brainer that I was forced to DQ you.

Draxy · Tue, 8th-Feb-2011, 9:21 AM

Im a little rusty but will try to enter the open tournament instead. Thanks for the info.

I find it a bit odd how you're diamond in all team leagues, with win ratios like 35-4 in 4v4 and 39-15 in 3v3 but you say you're only gold level. Maybe it's just my luck but my ratio in 3v3 and 4v4 (plat league) is horrible because I always get teamed up with massive noobs.

First post Live-stream detail edited

We got Unstable to cast again!

Unstable

I should really reserve the second post. Lol.

So LevelOneOrc actually WAS a masters dude smurfing? I heard thats why he was disqualified..? See guys I wasn't trying to just stir up trouble last week

I cant believe nobody actually believed me and Aean though when we insisted he was, twas pretty damn obvious lol.
I hope this whole thing hasn't turned Sky off organising tournements, I'm sorry if I upset you last week mate, I appreciate all the effort you put into this, and I hope there are no more smurfers in the future.
Good luck all, I'm plat now so cant join anymore but will be sure to obs if I can.

Wrong thread.

Although, I might as well address this a bit. are now more prepared to deal with smurfers, with a bit of a change in the ruleset. We also know what we can look for if thinking that a player may be a smurfer. In a way, if that one smurfer causes us to be able to catch anyone who attempts to do so in the future, then we've gained more than we've lost.

I also hope that LevelOneOrc got worse at SC2 through playing people at BSG level. LOL

Ryder. · Tue, 8th-Feb-2011, 9:35 PM

Aha, and nobody believed me and Aean when we said LevelOneOrc was a masters

sorry if we pissed anyone off, but it was cause I woulda bet my bnet account he wasnt a BSG. Good job in weeding him out, and good luck to all in BSG #7!

No one said they did not believe you. We just couldn't prove it. If I can, I'll get jimOK to play everyone who LevelOneOrc beat and crown him if he can beat everyone =P. (Giving me a chance in getting BSG #6 title, MUAHAHAHAHAHA)

Thats a fairly good idea, we should organise that sometime. Like a BSG showmatch, just for entertainment sake. Lets talk about that on MSN or SC2 sometime.

I'll actually be around to cast this time so this wont be an issue. Its pretty easy to pick up shit like that.

**SkyBreaker** · Wed, 9th-Feb-2011, 6:56 PM

@Baka: I'll create a news post on the front page regarding BSG#07 tomorrow morning.

noobinater · Wed, 9th-Feb-2011, 8:41 PM

Just a thought but why not host the tournament on a weekend?
4pm SGT is early enough that most who work on weekends will be finished and it means the tournament stays a reasonable time for everyone in the region (I know my SC skills die pretty fast after 10pm).

E. and has anybody looked at the ladder program to work out why it dropped two people last week?
