Hello everyone!
In January we announced the start of BSL Season 14 Ladder Stage and plan for 2022, at that time I announced that I will become a full time tournament organizer and I will give myself a year to make it profitable. It’s been 9 months since that moment. It’s a good time to sum up what we have done, what are my plans for the next 3-4 months and what are the perspectives for 2023.
Events organized in 2022 so far
Main Points

- Every match from GosuLeague and 2v2 ProLeague was casted in English in Spanish

Perspectives and Plans
Plans for next 3 months:
- BSL16 World Championships (32 players tournament) (confirmed)
- BSL 2v2 ProLeague – Season 2 (not confirmed yet)
Plans for 2023:
- BSL Season 17, 18 and 19
- BSL Offline Tour
- BSL Races Championship Season 2
- BSL bootcamp/house (going with top BSL players to Korea to prepare for ASL Qualifiers + making full coverage from the trip)(If I will find enough support, it would be great to make a team house for few months, with the plan of going for ASL Qualifiers)
We are looking for sponsors who are interested in supporting BSL 2023 as a whole, or particular event. Please share the info if you know someone!
This is the best moment to give me feedback, so I will have time to implement potential changes
Last 9 months were really amazing, even though it was hard work, I never felt happier in my life. I really love organizing SC:BW events, popularizing BroodWar and introducing new viewers and players to BSL. Thank you guys for giving me this opportunity, it’s a great honor to make content for such an amazing community <3

This is false, there are at least 4 different language streams, English, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese. Are you using the combined total?

I think that’s why glumaisa is asking. It would be nice to see the numbers across all the streams and platforms.

glumaisa, every language in total we reached over 2100 viewers this season.
We also experimented with 17:00 CEST as a start hour, next season we will be back on 18:00 CET / 18:30 CET.

I would love to see lower level 2v2 tournaments! It would be amazing for shield battery if there were Gosu, Hasu and Chobo leagues, and the ladder phase of the tournament had tons of 2v2 games going on. This might mean from Gosu and lower it is only for glory, but it be fun.
