The BW Moderation Team has read and appreciates your feedback this year. With the healthy turnout of signups over the years and other oldgen PLs adopting a 12 starter format, we want BWPL to follow suit. The format for BWPL VI will be:
1x BW OU Bo3
3x BW OU
BW Ubers
BW UU
BW RU
BW NU
BW PU
BW LC
BW Monotype
BW DOU
150k Credits

With the increased number of slots, BWPL is finally able to include BW DOU and Monotype, two tiers with consistently large playerbases and vocal support over the years. We were also receptive to the idea that an increase in players also mandates an increase in OU slots, so we included a third Bo1 slot, unfortunately at the expense of BW ZU. However, we know that it and draft in particular have notable playerbases, and have plans to include them and other niche tiers like it in a BW Lower Tiers PL in the foreseeable future. Thank you again to those who provided feedback and good luck in BWPL.

(The tour will also be moved up a week, Manager Signups go up tomorrow, Aug 3rd)
