Season 2 is coming! I am taking signups from BSG clans or existing clans that can produce an all-BSG roster. With the excitement and success of the first season, how can we NOT have a second. It's with great pleasure the BSGCL admins bring this experience to lower league players, to enjoy a fully fledged clan war tournament without the daunting task of facing up to masters level players.
If you think your clan has what it takes and want to represent your team read on to see how to apply!
1. Play Nights:
The default play night is going to be Thursday nights @ 8pm AEST but teams have until the following Wednesday to play their match if they can't make the default night. This is gonna be tougher to admin, but we love you BSG'ers and want to make sure there are little to no walk overs this season due to not being able to make certain nights. This will require more organization from team managers, but I'm sure they'd rather play than just straight up lose points. The lines of communication between players and admins are completely open, so don't hesitate to ask questions and submit which nights your team can play if not on the default play night so that an admin can attend. Thursday night games will be the only games that have a chance to be casted on stream, and the casters will chose the games. No show Thursday night? Guaranteed no cast!
2. Player Order:
The first two players to go out MUST be Bronze or Silver . Yes that's right. No more all Gold teams. Teams are still a minimum of 5 and maximum of 12. It's recommended to have more than one Bronze and Silver player in case those players need a reserve.
3. Minor Format Change:
GSTL Format was voted to be the favourite format by far, so we're keeping it! The only change this season is that there are no groups. Every clan will play every other clan in a round robin. Fixtures will be decided once sign ups are closed. The top 4 clans who have the most wins (and in the case of a tie, most individual games won) proceed to the finals to play preliminary finals.
4. Promotion Rules
At the moment the current rule is the same as the old one. If you're promoted from your league after the season commences, you still count as the particular league you signed up with, but not if you're promoted 2 leagues above.
For instance, someone signs up as a Gold , but gets promoted to in a new season. All good! We have you on the sign up page as a Gold , this thread will be proof of what league everyone was on sign up. If you're promoted to Diamond however, you can't play anymore and need to be replaced.
Same will go for the play order rule. If you're Silver , and you are one of the guys who would normally open but are promoted to Gold (and the team has no replacement Silver players) then we will be lenient and allow you to open as you were Silver on sign up. However, if you're promoted all the way Platinum from Silver then you can't be an opener anymore and your team needs to find a new opener to go with their other Silver or Bronze player.
Keep in mind that if you are promoted to Platinum , congratulations! You can now play in Erasmus' PDCL! ... But you won't be invited to the BSGCL All Stars tournament even if you did kick ass
Current Season Information:
GSTL format (all-kill, 4 players)
Length of the event will depend on the number of signups.
Tournament structure will involve a round-robin league stage and a playoff final stage.
Playdays will be negotiated between teams (ensure your players are free).
Default play night is Thursday night. Showing up on Thursday night is the only chance to get your games casted!
If teams cannot agree on a time, default times will be set on weeknights or Saturday by staff.
Prize: The winning team recieves a clan logo.
The best players (based on stats) from BSGCL Season 2 will be invited to an all stars 1v1 tournament after Season 2 ends for cash prizes. So rack up those wins!
SIGN UPS ARE CLOSED!
Clans start entering your BSG team line ups In addition, please include the players names, character code, race and league. If you prefer, you can use the forum flag and race icons to post your roster and if you don't know some of the character codes you can sign the player up now without it and fill it in later. A roster MUST include AT LEAST 2 Silver OR Bronze players with a minimum team size of 5, maximum of 12.
Kick off date for BSG ClanLeague Season 2 is currently 6th October!
You must be ready to play your first game at the scheduled time. Not showing up or being later than 15 minutes will result in your forfeit.
You will save replays in case of disputes.
You agree to be patient and considerate should for the duration of the event should any unforeseen difficulties arise, and acknowledge that the supervising administrator designated to your bracket has full authority over decisions pertaining to the game and may enforce the rules at his or her discrepancy.
Tournament administrators are free to join any game that they see fit. You are not to refuse entry to a caster or commentator and failure to do so may result in disqualification.
You agree that by entering this tournament that you will not publicly slader or reproach any of the staff or sponsors associated with this tournament on any public medium.
There are to be no spectators of any kind except the aforementioned administrators and the casters.
You may not include players based outside of Southeast Asia or Oceania in your team unless an admin grants special consideration.
You must own your own legal copies of StarCraft II for the SEA server.
If a player is promoted outside of Bronze, Silver or Gold once the season starts they may continue to play until the end of the season.
Maps will be sourced from the Battle.net ladder and competitive maps (ESL, MLG, GSL, etc.)
Teams failing to contact their opponent's manager or agree on a designated play time will be designated a time by an admin. Failure to show at this time will result in a forfeit.
So far the head admins are Maynarde#489, ToRSynzita#319 and TAEdarus#427 but more may be announced.
So far streaming of games is based on volunteers and not every round or match is guaranteed a stream.
The prize is a clan logo thanks to TCPmagik. Once the finalists are determined from league play it is the clan leader's responsibility to discuss creative decisions with myself or magik regarding their possible clan logo.
can i join a bsg clan even though i am already in a clan? since i am not sure if my clan can produce a roster for the event?
To clarify on Maynarde's original response, we WILL be making a team (or two if interest is large enough) for unclanned players to participate.
Obviously, being in a clan will have better / easier organisational aspects and you can't quite have a clan logo for clan "blank" so you lose some benefits, but we're trying to make this event as accessible as possible for the community.
DO NOT sign up as an unclanned player IF you are unable to commit to keeping in contact with your team.
They will NEED to contact you incase of matchup day/time issues to get them sorted. ANY unclanned team member who does not make a week without contact (or a later provided good reason) will be removed for the remainder of the season so they do not drag their team down due to slackness.
On that note, anyone clanless who wants to sign up, please sign up as an individual clearly stating you are clanless so we can work out who we have and how many clanless teams we can post, if any at all.
GLHF!

Are you missing the BSG (Bronze Silver Gold)? I'm pretty sure all of us who used to compete do.
To a sad ending the BSG ended in season 3...but.... no longer fear,LOSchniztel (895) and BitterCold (939) have started up the saturday night fun again!
To this end, for any player who does not like the team league type events and wants their solo glory, being successful in a BSGCL Event unlocks access to a BSGCL All-Stars 1v1 event for ultimate glory and some of my money.
2. Player Order:
Bronzies go out first. Silvers go out second. Yes that's right. No more all Gold teams. This season teams are forced to have AT LEAST one bronze and one silver in their team because the first two players to go out are going to be bronze and silver respectively. Teams are still a minimum of 5 and maximum of 12. It's recommended to have more than one bronze and silver player in case those players need a reserve.
I think that sending bronze then silver then gold etc is a pretty bad way of doing it.
Make it so you have to send out atleast 1 bronze and atleast 1/2 silvers.
Hey man, what do you mean? Do you mean not force bronzies / silvers out first but make sure they're part of the team? Or do you mean just have more silver players in each team?
Bronze then silver is a bit harsh. We only have one bronze player who is in a position to play - if he can't make it or gets promoted then we're boned.
How about the first two players have to be either bronze or silver?

Bronze player doesn't show? In the words of Professor Fransworth (Futurama) / Professor Putricide (World of Warcraft): "GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!" If they don't show, they have a WHOLE WEEK to show.
Guys before picking holes in the event, please ensure you have fully read and understood the original post.
Your witness!
Also as Syn stated, if the player was Bronze at signup they will be treated as such / counted as a Bronze for the team for the season.

Reason: Note re: promotion added.
And what if a gold all kills? It means that team has better players, this rule is stupid. If you are going to make a rule like that make it what whiplash suggested.

Yeah you're right, we should should just make it GCL instead of BSGCL. Cause golds are better, shinier league icon and all.
No. It's BSG ClanLeague. I want Bronzes to play as well as Silvers, and I'm sure that Bronze players want to play as well. I don't want to see all Gold teams, because the level of play isn't what's important here, it's everyone getting a go regardless of league (as long as you're Plat or under when you sign up). If this ends up being a problem for everyone and there really aren't that many Bronze players to go around then we'll revise the rule.
Until then, recruit more Bronze players. Recruit more Silver players. Again, if this is too much of an issue the rule may be revised. So everyone with a problem please untwist your knickers, we just want to run a fair and fun tournament here.
Unfortunately when we recruit bronzes (and they're active enough to be playing in tournaments), they tend to promote. The only result is that it discourages our lower players from laddering.
We aren't going to recruit bronzes asap just to participate in a tournament, they have to go through our process which tbh takes on average a month.

I'll have to bring this up with Edarus and Maynarde first, but i THINK if a player is signed up as bronze and they get promoted, they're still considered bronze for the reason of BSGCL.
But as i said i will have to check with Edarus and Maynarde if that's the case, before i say that is actually how it works.
I will post on this thread later after i've checked.
Although I agree its a silly rule, the tournament does seem kinda pointless if some measure isn't implement to encourage us lower level players to play.
Might as well just be Gold ClanLeague otherwise...
Minimat and Whiplash, I understand that it can be hard to find Bronze players as I posted earlier today. They're either promoted quickly from being active or aren't active and don't want to compete. The admins and I will talk about revising it, Whiplash's idea is not bad.
Minimat I apologize when I read "what if a gold player all kills" I thought you were saying we should allow pure gold teams again. It's been a long week!
I do agree with you that last season where it was mostly golds (really plats, and if you check people from last season there's a few diamonds) playing wasn't in the spirit of the thing.
Why be a dick about it? We all want the same thing. We aren't picking holes in the event, we just want it to be fair for every team. Please stop taking this as a personal attack.
Have a look at the lists for last season. 5/12 have one bronze player. Two have none at all.
So if those two teams manage to get a bronze player, then there will be 21 games where the managers have to schedule a time where both bronze players can make it (bronzes probably being the most inactive) and enough players for the rest of the teams.
Not everyone has a big, deep team. Not everyone has the same relaxed recruiting criteria. Look at our squad. Welshy is going to get a game some time, regardless of affirmative action rules, just like he did last season.

Wasn't being a dick at all. I was saying, if you're having issues sorting out rostering times to suit your players that we accounted for that already by making the entire timing of the event more flexible for everyone, albeit at the disadvantage of the admins who will possibly have to be online adminning BSGCL events every night of the week - Ie if its something thats going to directly affect me as a player, admin captain AND manager I wouldn't have suggested it nor put it forward so lightly - hence the "see the play times for clarification" comment.
Sorry if that was misunderstood as rage.
We do realise not every team has a bronze player (i'm manager for TA, you'll note we don't have a lineup yet because I can't find us a Bronze, so I DO actually see the downside matey).
Our main, key goal in this whole rulemaking and changing was PURELY to ensure that everyone got a go, and we're trying our best to meet that. Hence the revision on lineups and team requirements, the anti-all-kill rule we planned to test the waters with, because as you said "we all want the same thing, we just want it to be fair for every team [and I add, every player / participant]".
With the poll now up, we shall review the results and much like the decision on the event format, it will come down to what the community wants because we arent 3x The Overmind, we're 3x Community Admins.
Peace Homies!

No one's being a dick on purpose here, no one is taking anything as a personal attack, so neither should anyone else. I appreciate the feedback from everyone, as does Synizta and Edarus cause we want this thing to be awesome. As I said earlier, if this is a problem for everyone it will be revised, Whiplash's suggestions are pretty good and make sense, but we only have a couple teams sign up so far.
I would personally like to give it a bit more time before we change the rule, but with 3 or 4 separate people concerned with the rule at this early stage it may warrant a poll. I'll look into that. Until then, everyone cool your jets. We all want the same thing.
I don't really like enforcing any order... All-kills are perfectly fine and part of the format.
Make them send a bronze and a silver at some point, or at least 2 non-gold players or whatever, but don't force them to do it first... :/ If they send a gold first to beat your bronze, send your own gold to snipe them... they've taken out a bronze, you've taken out a gold. advantage you
I think what the admins are trying to do here is to ensure that it is a BSg-Clan League instead of a Gold Clan league cos if you look at S1, not alot of the bronze and silvers got to play, it was mostly the Gold.

Drop hacks, gotta watch out for dem Drop hacks.
Wait, if the poll says first two must be Bronze/Silver, doesn't that mean that Bronzes still don't get to play because there could be 2 silvers?
Well it's going to be up to the team managers, but yeah essentially it means that you CAN send out 2 as your first players if you choose to instead of 1 + 1 or 2 . This idea came about because of some people (not just the ones in this thread) imploring that a lot Bronze players aren't very active / promoted fast / aren't interested.
We're trying to keep the majority happy here, it's a tournament for the community. What the community wants the community will get. If you're against the rule in the poll, vote against it. Also if you're a Bronze player who's active and excited about playing and reading this going "Wtf is Maynarde on about what an idiot I want to make sure I play" then vote!

I think being able to send out two is actually a good idea, because if bronze people are not active, they will not want to play in the tournament, and if they are active they will learn fast and get promoted. It's not that I am against people playing but the thing is that if people are active they will promote fast

From the feeling I got from BSGCL season 1, team managers were trying to let every team member have a fair go. I met plenty of great guys (team managers) that encouraged bronzies and silvers to play just as much as the gold guys. Sure in the finals, and towards the end of a round if a team was getting beaten, clans best players were sent in (because everyone wants to win to a degree, right?).
BSGCL admins keep up the great work
p.s. I voted for 2 silver/bronze first as I personally think that is a good way to start.
Looking at the results (now that I personally voted) it seems we will be going with teams opening their lineups with 2x Bronze/Silver players (ie, first two NOT Gold).
Its not the national elections so to mend fences so people don't think i'm a total inflexible d1ckhole, I actually voted for the thus-far winning option myself, because its a better idea which the three of us did not come up with.
SC2SEA COMMUNITY FTW - Helping Admins make sh1t better since, well, forever.
You Guys.

With the implementation of the new rules Team Kelvin's Army, the current bsgcl champions, are in need of some bronze and silver league players.
If you are interested in joining our team PM me your character code and name and i'll set up a quick tryout date.
Will the team rosters be updated in the OP? I'm having trouble knowing the rosters. Thanks
Will get onto it tonight dude! So sorry, I was waiting for a few more sign ups before starting the table and have also been busy. Keep an eye on the OP

there is SUPPOSE to be a clanless team being done. I believe we're trying to gather a group of clanless players to form them a team for BSGCL.

Hey man, like Synizta said there will be a "clanless" team. I will take all the names of people that post in this thread and are clanless and if there's enough players to make the minimum, then they will have have their own team and designate their own captain / manager from their own ranks Cheers for your interest, please post your race as well as your character ID and league!
I checked him last night and he is Gold, also season 1 was Gold (season 1 BSGCL).
Currently the ruling is, if you're B/S/G at time of sign up, and do not go beyond Plat, you can play. That said, if its found that a player is smurfing they will be removed.
Ie. if Minimat starts playing like a boss and not a retard () he'll be removed for smurfing.

Just letting you know that the original play order rule in the OP has been replaced with the new rule voted in the poll.
The new rule is the first two players must be OR .
Updated the OP with the current sign ups as well, including the mysterious team "The Clanless". Keep in mind we're hoping to kick this thing off in a couple weeks so clan managers, get your line ups sorted and post them here!
Cheers Maynarde, Byrnsy plays protoss by the way if you want to put that bit in there.

Anyone that's keen to jump on Kelvins Army team who is currently on The Clanless is welcome to, sounds like they're still looking! They are the reigning champs of Season 1 and would be a good opportunity for someone to join and get some good training at a BSG level Clans feel free to ask around, I would love to see all the familiar faces from Season 1 have another crack at the title!
The minimum team size is 5, currently The Clanless fits that size but if someone leaves then they obviously won't. No problem though, I'm sure some more clanless people will want to jump on board and fill up the spots so don't feel bad about joining a clan, it is a Clan League after all
Errr not to put a damper on the clanlesss thingo, but i'm more than willing to whore myself out to Kelvins Army. Just get whoever is captain to PM me and i'll defs sign up for you.

i'mma make sure I snipe Hellfyre now... haha
But really good luck with KA Hellfyre.. we still need more players, so anyone that wants to leave Kelvins Army PM me..
But any more players or if any of the current players have some friends that might be interested in playing.. let me know..
Hey guys, I just wanna say a big thank you to Maynarde, Synzita and Edarus for continuing the BSG CL. I was a participant in season 1 and it was awesome. Unfortunately I'm in plat now and can't play in it again.
I wish all the teams good luck and have fun. Appreciate all the admins are doing so that the community gets an awesome tournament and most importantly keep things fair, mannered and have a bloody awesome time!
Don't do it bro.. the Clanless team is going to win.. btw.
But if you do leave us Byrnsy.. you'll be missed.. but gl hf! (and I'm totally going to snipe you too!)
I'm quickly growing to like this guy.
Don't stress! I'm sure The Clanless will have enough to qualify even if a couple guys leave to fill up other rosters part of the the prize is a clan logo so ... I guess if you win (like you claim you will) you're going to have a logo for your team regardless. Keep in mind though; half the prize is a clan logo and the other half is eternal glory.
Please keep this thread updated with player movements so I can update the teams in the OP accordingly
Just a heads up, I believe Brothers till Death won't be joining this season due to a lack of numbers but I wish all other teams the best of luck and will keep watching this league grow.

That's a shame I hope Interdiction knows players can be poached, I may have some if he's interested. Would hate to see you miss out mate, keep in mind you can carry "The Clanless" on your powerful Gold Protoss shoulders if you had the inclination

Nope! While it's preferable that you do in the spirit of the competition, the two players to go out first per team must be Bronze OR Silver. So, not necessarily Bronze.

Oh ok, well a head's up, the OP still says its a requirement to have a bronzie.

Hi I would like to enter BSGCL.
I don't have a Clan atm so if anyone wants to poach feel free (I'll also be posting in the recruitment thread.)
So if I don't get a clan in the next few days please enter me as Clanless.
For Clan leaders who are looking:
Tonki.408
Rank 1 Silver Protoss

hahas we're already working on getting a bronzie onto the team, just can't confirm him yet because of exam period he may not be able to play for us
3 minute response time on updating that OP? Damn you're quick Maynarde .
Either that or you're trying to make me think i'm hallucinating... i swear i'm not crazy.

Is it confirmed what happens if Silver or Bronze players are promoted during the season?
I.e. what happens if promotions cause you to run outta Bronze/Silver players?
At the moment the current rule is the same as the old one. If you're promoted from your league after the season commences, you still count as the particular league you signed up with, but not if you're promoted 2 leagues above.
For instance, someone signs up as a Gold , but gets promoted to in a new season. All good! We have you on the sign up page as a Gold , this thread will be proof of what league everyone was on sign up. If you're promoted to Diamond however, you can't play anymore and need to be replaced.
Same will go for the play order rule. If you're Silver , and you are one of the guys who would normally open but are promoted to Gold (and the team has no replacement Silver players) then we will be lenient and allow you to open as you were Silver on sign up. However, if you're promoted all the way Platinum from Silver then you can't be an opener anymore and your team needs to find a new opener to go with their other Silver or Bronze player.
Keep in mind that if you are promoted to Platinum , congratulations! You can now play in Erasmus' PDCL! ... But you won't be invited to the BSGCL All Stars tournament even if you did kick ass
It seems pretty logical to me, if anyone has any thoughts or criticisms please post so we can discuss. Compliments are good too, I like compliments.
From what i remember, promotion during the season doesn't matter, as long as it's only to platinum. The only downside from it is you won't get invited to the All-stars match at the end of the season.

It's only 5 dollars entry, and it all goes towards a good cause which I believe is the Starlight foundation. There are many a prize and much glory to be had Keep the sign ups coming for BSGCL, but I thought I would help Dox spread some awareness through you fine BSG folk.
olivia or anyone from btd,
If btd isn't participating this season due to a lack of players, you can play under KA for this season.
If anyone sees this from btd could you please pass the message around, contact shadowz or pm me and I'll put you into contact with shadowz if you wish to discuss this.
Edit: maybe someone from btd could link me to their forum?

Sup yo?...
Clanless team is only up to 4 players.. whoops :-S so either get you shit together and join us...
OR
If there are clans that feel horrible that they can't field a full team - cause all their players are too pro to be as low as Gold... they should join up with us... so we can dominate all the other BSG scrubs.
Current Clanless team is: ChadMann.754 EvilSWAT.711 SmokyMcpot.147 Lorzy.577
Yay the clanless is a team again, now i dont feel like a douche for leaving!

QED Team:
Silver Protoss: Fridge.790 (Captain, once he gets internets again and can confirm if he's playing heh)
Gold Zerg: QEDJenkins.275
Silver Zerg: Cottonmouth.891
Silver Protoss: Krrn.298
Bronze Protoss: DeNile.140
Okay... here is a bit of a fun fact for everyone.
My laptop is f'd. Login screen doesn't come up and i just get a blank screen on boot up.
what does this mean?... i'll have to fix the f-ing thing over the next few days and spend a three days downloading all the sc2 updates! woooo yah!
basically, I'm not going to be able to fix it straight away, but hope to have it done by the end of the week. This will probably mean missing the first week of games... I'll talk to the team if I can, I actually know half of the team IRL so i'll talk to them about talking to other players, but as an interim i think SmokyMcPot will have everyone (or most) on B.net and should be able to manage the team pretty well in my absence. QQ
***EDIT*** NEVER MIND THAT SHIZZ I FIXED IT LIKE A BOSS!...
Also, quick question, are teams allowed to add players during the season or is it locked once it begins?
gl hf everyone!

Last season each team had 3 subs avliable, im PRESUME'ing it'll be the same this season.

yeah.. well that could be good..
but as is the nature of the clanless environment.. players may be poached or lose interest etc... so i wonder if the clanless team is able to bolster its numbers through out the season?..
Well they can join teams but not play for them, cos I think it'd suck if the clanless can't play games anymore cos they don't have enough people.
Well to be fair, with GENERALLY how tight the BSG community is, i doubt anyone will be low enough to stop some of the clanless guys from playing by poaching other guys in their in team to put them below the limit.
Do we know a start date for this?.. and can Maynarde or whomever is in charge confirm if players can be added to the roster during the season?.. or is it a limit to three new players or something?

I'm currently finalizing the line up. Players CAN be added to the roster, once the season starts you are allowed to make 3 substitutions.

Hey Maynarde, The Clanless would like to update the nationalities for their players.
EvilSWAT, Avenger & Incognito are from Singapore.
Hydro, Lorzy, ChadMann and Smoky are from Australia.
I would appreciate it if you could update the OP? And we're really pumped up to kick the living bejeezus out of..er I mean, we can't wait to face our respected opponents in this league!
they're in a separate thread, in the tournaments section. Well, they're on a site that the thread links to... either way, have a look there.

Can I join The Clanless? I am a bronze player in hong kong.
Goldie.520
Course you can! Added those extra few players to The Clanless. ChadMann's rag tag group of mercenaries is gaining power, will be interested to see how they go tonight
@DeathsFang While I did copy deL's bbcode for the conditions part of the OP from the BSGCL Season 1 thread, I wrote the code for the tables (and rules, lists, titles, etc) myself while using his as a template cause it looks sexified. It was several hours work T_T
Can I join The Clanless? I am a bronze player in hong kong.
Goldie.520
Of course.. all are welcome.. however the team size is getting large.. but we need practice partners and plenty of players incase someone is unavailable.
we will be playing tonight (Friday 7th) at 9pm and shall be on BSGCL chat channel initially - I'll probably set up a Clanless chat for game discussion to select players etc... but if you cn make it tonight to the game that would be great!
The chad was the only decent thing about that movie, go the Clanless! Go Chadmann!

just noticed this in the rules:
"The top 4 clans who have the most wins (and in the case of a tie, most individual games won) proceed to the finals to play preliminary finals."
4 individual wins = 1 win.. so if there is a tie they will have the same amount of individual wins.. should be least losses? best Win/Loss Ratio?... ;-)
Well done, Clan Clanless!! (what an awesome oxymoron xD) Inco and Lorzy especially, proving that we're no pushovers in the league!
Congratulations to all the winning teams in the first week of the league, and for those who didn't win, there's still a whole season to go to make up for it! This is turning out to be a very exciting event to have, I'm looking forward to many more awesome matchups in the near future!
yo yo. so last night it was Ta up against Fade B. earlier on, TA had to scramble one more player in order for the match up to go ahead. One player by the name of "Choros" was subbed to fill in that missing spot. He is not in the list o reg players but he is confirmed in the clan according to Big TAdel. so if u admins can update that, that would be sexy
Turns out Gore's character code is 306 not 340. I blame Fridge for this mix up. Why? No reason he didn't even have internets when I posted our team, but I need a scapegoat and it's him!
Hey... Having some troubles adding Goldie - might have incorrectly quoted your Character Code?...
Clanless players jump on Chat Channel 'Clanless' through out the week for practice and line up selection/working out who can play?...
Also, can I just say - Thanks heaps to Frogmite for the cast of our games! it was nice to have the team watching also and talking between matches about plans and strats after seeing what the VB guys do.
Looking forward to our match on Thursday Frog...
Cast us (KA) this week? Because i'm obviously the prettiest one playing... it'd boost your ratings... :P

Hey - Just a quick message to my team... some of you, I haven't heard from.. lemme know your keen to play if you want a game.. showing up on game night and expecting a game is not ganna work.
Also, Goldie I think you posted up the wrong CC cause I can't add you?.. :S
Anyway, our match this week is 9:30pm AEDT Thursday. Be there to cheer on the team and if someone from the tentative line up isn't available or a player shows sick ability vs what ever race I might need to pick someone else rather than send out to their strong match up.. .:S - so be there!
Also, not 100% confirmed yet.. it will be organised, probably tomorrow...
but there is possibly a show match on before the Team match between myself and TCP's very own Frogmite... for a bit of fun to hype up the team match up... I think he will stream (maybe Maynarde cast if he can? otherwise someone else can cast)... But it should be a bit of fun before the Team Match.... Which will either start at 9 or at the team match time of 9:30 depends on Frogmite... So get keen and come watch the stream!
