Why BSL

A classic tournament
in a classic game.

StarCraft is one of the most important competitive games ever made. A real classic.

It shaped the esports we know today — pro leagues, broadcast storytelling, iconic rivalries. BSL puts a partner inside that legacy while reaching an active, mature and global audience right now.

1

Higher attention quality

Viewers know the game. They watch for the decisions, the storylines and the rivalries.

2

Commercially mature

Over 90% of the BSL audience is 30–50 years old: working adults with real spending power.

3

Community gratitude

This community remembers who backs it. Sponsors get named, thanked and talked about long after the season ends.

Institutional credibility

BSL is already part of Brood War history.

Founded in 2013 by Dawid “ZZZero” Paździor, BSL has grown from community passion into one of the most important StarCraft: Remastered circuits outside Korea.

What this means for a partner: live viewership concentrated in North America and Europe, plus a large, highly active Latin American social audience. A brand can reach either market — or use one season to reach both.

Inside Season 23

ProLeague is BSL.

One flagship league carries the season: the strongest non-Korean players, the largest prize pool and most of the broadcast hours. Everything else is depth built underneath it.

Flagship league

ProLeague

The main event of every BSL season. Twenty-four to thirty-two of the best non-Korean players in the world, the largest prize pool of the season and twenty official broadcasts. When people say BSL, this is the league they mean.

HasuLeague Tier 2Top 4 seed into HasuLeague Tier 1
ChoboLeague Tier 1Top 4 seed into HasuLeague Tier 2

Every league runs 16 players. The top four earn a seed into the league above for the next season, so the whole structure moves every year and a player can climb from ChoboLeague to ProLeague over consecutive seasons.

Season finale

Non-Korean World Championship

The top four players from ProLeague face the top four players from China — the international match-up that closes the season.

Community casts

The brand travels further.

GosuLeague, both HasuLeague tiers and ChoboLeague are open for the community to cast, and every community caster broadcasts using official BSL overlays — so season branding travels into their streams as well, in front of audiences BSL does not broadcast to directly, at no extra production cost.

The Ask

The community proved demand.
A partner scales it.

40 supporters put €4,538 behind BSL23 before a single match was played. That covers the base season. A partner is what turns it into a bigger prize pool, stronger production and wider reach — and takes the headline position while doing it.
