New orgs, old teams

Written by gak

Welcome back to BSC's most entertaining region as we head into the most stacked monthly final of the year thus far!

Last month's champions, Juan Carlos Team, has been picked up by Kansas City based org Pioneers. With over 30k followers powered by the financial backing of coveninence chain QuikTrip, we're excited to see where these NA challengers go with this first time organization in the BSC scene. 

This month's qualifiers weren't too crazy with no major knockouts, but we did see a few upsets. In the upper bracket, CT Esports, who retain the points of former SSG NA, beat first month champions and regional favorites Tribe Gaming in a close 2-1 series. 

Oinkers Reborn beat out two time qualified team Real Ones in UB Round 7, where they were ultimately knocked out by Luminosity in the final round of the lower bracket.

homeless, now adding Shine in place of EveX, who joined CT Esports, finally qualified for a monthly final! Congrats to tacos, as it's been a long time coming. 

Regional favorites like Luminosity and CT comfortably qualified this month, with 512, DCT (now F/A again) and Real Ones not making it this time around. 

QUALIFIED TEAMS

1) CT Esports | Tuni, Fade, EveX

Two former members of Spacestation NA paired with a ladder warrior rookie managed to knock Tribe into the lower bracket. Can they keep up the race with SSG's former points? 

2) West Coast | Alec26, Chepo, Jheart

West Coast is back again from the upper bracket adding Jheart this month in place of long time member shine. Facing a familiar opponent in Luminosity, can West Coast finally find their way beyond the quarterfinals> 

3) Pioneers | Juan Carlos, Pain, secondbest, Filip47 (C), Lukluk23 (A), iiNk (M)

Last month's champions are back with a spiffy new org to boot. Can they repeat their success and become our first two time monthly champions? 

4) STMN Esports | bobby, sans, Zhar, Acee (A), Lukiebear (M)

The grand finalists at the 2023 BSWF are still behind in the race for LCQ or Worlds. Their grand finals appearance last month certaintly helped, but they still find themselves with ground to make up. Can they find victory this month to close the gap? 

5) Luminosity | charlz, Patchy, Chino, Quinaia (A)

LG is back this month with Patchy once again playing to help them qualify. They were knocked to the lower bracket in a close loss to last month's champions, but with a familiar match against West Coast, how far can they go this month? 

6) Motomamis F/A | Zeus, Killer, R B M, Luffy, Sebas (C)

The former R7 crew has made some changes, reuniting with former staff Sebas and adding a new player to the roster: R B M, the Mexican powerhouse hailing from SSG NA's disbanded roster. Can this shake up find success in their first match against last month's champions? 

7) Tribe Gaming | Ezlivi, Zoulan, Tyrant, Cori (C) 

A classic. What else needs to be said? The bracket gods weren't on their side, though, and we finally get to see el classico: Tribe versus STMN. Can the boys in red come out on top to hold their slim lead over the region? 

8) homeless | tacos, Shine, Vegeta

The underdog of the month and newcomer to the monthly finals, homeless has finally found their way into the monthly final. Facing former teammate EveX in the quarterfinals, can homeless come out on top of their civil war?
