The German site BWCL - Brood War Clan Liga - have finished their 18th (!) season of the regular clan league. Also, their big project "Premier League" has come to an end. As if it wasn't enough they have also hosted a BWCL Cup.





Premier League


I'll start of with the Premier League. A number of well known clans and teams were invited to participate in a special league more than three months ago. The league now has finished after several great battles between the participants.


Rank Name Points W-L-D
1. GameNet - (GN) 48 11-0-0
2. Sons Of Law - SoL. 43 9-1-0
3. 88 - 88) 40 9-1-0
4. RSGaming - rS. 36 6-4-0
5. LatinGamers - LG) 34 6-3-1
5. Czech Demolition Squad - CDS) 34 5-4-1
7. oGaming - oG) 33 5-3-2
8. Infernal-gamers - iG. 21 4-7-0
9. Remained if Forces - RiF) 16 3-8-0
10. aeterna societas honoris - ash. 6 1-9-0
10. MicroGamerZ - MgZ) 6 1-9-0
12. HonoR - HnR) 0 0-11-0

As everyone can see, the Polish team GameNet could take the victory in this very first Premier League. Their win/loss/draw ratio is almost unbelivable. They went 11-0-0 versus some of the very best clans active today. Very well done by the pole's!

After (GN) we have the Italian based team SoL., at the same win/loss/draw ratio as the third placed 88), but with more points.
From the places 4-7 it is pretty even. The four teams are all placed within a 3 point marginal.


Division 1A


Now lets move on to the regular league. In Division 1A, the German team ash. could take the victory after impressing 10-0-1 in score.


Rank Name Points W-L-D
1. aeterna societas honoris 56 10-0-1
2. Ivy Amateur Team 46 6-1-4
3. Fallen Angels 41 5-3-3
4. natural born Starcraft Killers 39 6-4-1
5. Nine Knights 38 5-5-1
6. ultime Dancers 34 5-5-1
7. The Innocent sQuad 31 4-5-2
8. OutOf 25 3-5-2
9. Internet Protocol 23 4-5-1
10. Xtreme insidious Corporation 22 4-5-1
11. DarkInfernalEmpire 21 3-7-1
12. Kolix 0 0-10-0

Except for ultime Dancers and The Innocent sQuad there are only German teams in this division. ash. finishing first, as mentioned. Ten points after them we have Ivy Amateur Team who had a final score of 6-1-4. After them, it's pretty even between Fallen Angels, natural born Starcraft Killers and Nine Knights on the positions 3-5.

The four teams placing last in the league will be moved down to division 2a and 2b. They will be replaced by the ones placing top 2 in any of the div 2 leagues. Bleeding Hollow Clan and teAm x6 will take the step up from 2a and Drunkenstyler and Intelligent Playing Systems from 2b.

BWCL Cup


I will just report form the semi finals and the final, since the tournament was really big. No less than 124 clans participated. The majority were German.

In the first semi final Czech Demolition Squad could take a win over Ivy Amateur Team. In the second one 3nemies will Die lost against Fraggin' Potatoes #2.

Czech Demolition Squad eventually won the final and they can from now on call themselves BWCL-Cup champions! In the final they won a 4-0 victory. The prize for them is a spot in one of the second divisions of BWCL for next season.
