2021 Star BJ Destruction Season 1 set to start June 15

AfreecaTV’s BJ Destruction series returns with its first event of the 2021 season. Set to start on the 15th of June, the competition will see Brood War’s most popular streamers duke it out for a prize purse of KRW 9m (+ crowdfunding proceeds) in an 8-team single elimination bracket (all matches best-of-7) sprawling two weeks’ worth of broadcasts. Teams will once again comprise six players of various tiers – 2 Kings, 1 Jack, 2 Queens, 1 Joker.

The format, however, has already met with criticism on sundry Korean forums, as the tournament will see the return of Fastest as one of the opening games of each series. All matches will similarly feature a 2v2 micro/macro within the first 4 sets, and a regular 2v2 as set #5.

UPDATE: Due to community backlash, Fastest has been removed in favour of a more balanced lineup of maps.
