I am super excited to announce that I have teamed up with Perth Barcraft to announce the Perth Barcraft Star League (PBSL).
As I stated, this league will be a collabaration with myself and Barcraft, and as such, all tournaments will be branded under PBSL.
Without further ado, I am going to announce Perth's biggest Starcraft II event to date. The PBSL is really excited to announce that we are going to be hosting the PBSL#1, the prize? Just a seed to the Blizzard National Qualifiers with flights and accomodation paid for, nothing too big.
