The Bombastic StarLeague was brought into existence in 2013, when Polish Brood War player Dawid ‘ZZZero’ Pazdzior single-handedly organised two tournaments under the BSL name, held exclusively for the Polish community. The project went on hiatus until 2017, when the BSL returned as an international event, open to all competitors outside of South Korea.
Season in, season out, the BSL has seen steady growth in participation, viewership, community engagement, and prizing. Split into separate skill-based divisions, the BSL aims to promote player development on the foreign scene of StarCraft, catering to the needs of a diverse playerbase, as well as bring high quality entertainment to fans of the RTS genre.
