BSL Season 2024 – Big Plans

I want to share my plans for 2024 with all of you guys, after the ThaiLANd I have a lot of motivation to make new things, as well as improve everything I was doing so far. Meeting all the amazing people during the LAN and hanging out with them, gave me power and motivation to continue my path. Also I’m extremely motivated to make open LAN events like that this year – because that’s what’s bringing community and people together. I will work my ass out to make it happen!

Before that I want to give you a short update on my current situation as a tournament organizer:
1. Almost exactly 2 years ago I left my job and decided to become full time tournament organizer.
2. After 10 months I wasn’t earning enough on it, so I’ve set the Patreon goal to meet till the end of BSL16 – we reached ~50% of the goal – so from April I came back to my old work for half time.
3. I still hope that one day I will be able to live out of producing tournaments and content only, but for now doing it for half time is still great and is keeping the dream alive.
4. Unfortunately after the ThaiLANd LAN drama I’ve lost a bunch of Patreons – it’s my mistake and misjudgement and I have to live with the consequences of it, but if you guys like my plans for 2024 – reaching back to $1250 a month would give me a big chance to continue making events as I did in 2023, otherwise I will have to come back to my full time work, and will not have excuse to my wife why I’m spending so much time for BW ^^
5. https://www.patreon.com/Bombastic – $894 / $1250 – I don’t want to make any deadline, just do it if you can and if you think my job is worth it.

My plans:
Premier events:
– BSL Season 18 (Missing $4600, if I won’t find sponsor till the end of January, we will launch it with lower prize pool)
– BSL Season 19
– BSL Season 20* (*If I will know that I have funding for it till April [otherwise I won’t fit three seasons, not enough weekends])
– New Super Gosu event – Artosis & ZZZero event incoming
– BSL Korea – My goal is to make a regular Korean League, first for entertainment, but secondly to have contact to manage sparing and practice partners for our players (to see them into ASL finally!)

Obviously I would love to bring more events, but it’s depended on sponsors and funding. I’m open for new ideas!

Major events:
– BSL Races Championships: Season 2 (2 days a week, one day EU time, one day NA/SA time, finals during the weekend)
– BSL Nation Wars (Captains / Leaders PM me please)

Minor events:
– BSL King of the Mountain / ProLeague style matches (each Wednesday/Thursday EU time)

Offline events:
– I’m planning to make at least three offline tournaments this year.
1. BSL Warsaw: – February – March (24-25.02 or 02-03.03)
2. BSL Gdańsk: – June – July
3. BSL Warsaw Finals: Polish World Championships 2024 – October – November
4. I’m willing to make an offline LAN in any place/country – as long as we will have a reasonable prize pool and my tickets/accomodation will be covered. Just PM me if you are interested.

If I won’t find funding, I will make matcherino page for the events I don’t have prizepool yet, I believe that there are a lot of people who will want to support an event directly and whom we will motivate to do so during the broadcast.

That’s me giving my best to the community. Now it’s up to you if you share and support it if you like it.
