Hello everyone!
Welcome to the monthly roundup for July. It's been a bit of a quiet month for Speeds, but there's plenty of stuff that's been going on behind the scenes to talk about!
Promotions and BL changes
Firstly we'd like to congratulate the following people on meet blacklist requirements and being promoted:
3 nana
Callybob - BL def
Infra Low - BL heal, BL def
We'd also like to congratulate Static Line and Latata on being promoted to Liet! Both players have contributed an incredible amount to the speeds community recently, discovering new mechanics and being active in both speeds and in the Discord server. Well done guys!
But we're not done there...
We'd also like to say a big congratulations to Houred on being promoted to Captain! Houred has been a highly skilled player for a long time now. He holds the current Solo Healer record and has developed new strategies to push the wave times to the limits! He has been performing at the top level in all roles for a while now, so we feel he deserves the recognition by being awarded Captain.
Well done Koala!
Changes to Discord
We hadn't really done any Discord maintenance in a while, so we have decided to freshen it up and add some new features!
Firstly we have moved some of the channels around to make it a bit more organised. We've adjusted the layout of some of the categories and voice channels to make it look cleaner. We've also added some channels which we hope will be found useful.
We have added the Solo Healer leaderboards in the channel #leaderboards, so it can be accessed more easily by everyone. This will be manually updated on a weekly basis (until we can figure out how to make a bot to do it for us!
)
To give our monthly leagues some hype we’ve added it to Discord and are offering some new rewards. These include a customizable discord tag, a 50M raffle for any teams submitting POVs (will go to one player a month) and a cash prize for the most active league participants from August till December. We’ll still be giving out forum badges to the league winners as well. Good luck everyone!
Farewell Oliver
It's unfortunately time to say our goodbyes to Oliver, who has been an admin of Speed BA for over 2 years now. It's sad to say that his WoW addiction has finally caught up with him, and he will not be playing BA for the foreseeable future. Oliver has contributed an incredible amount to Speed BA over the past few years. He has done a huge amount of behind the scenes work and came up with great ideas to grow our community to what it is now. He's always been an iconic player to look up to, and has pushed the boundaries of BA speedruns for many years now. On behalf of Speed BA and the BA community, I want to say thank you for everything you've done, we couldn't be where we are now without you.
As the old die out, new blood comes in. We're very pleased to announce Hendi's promotion to the admin team. It was only last month he was promoted to Liet, but with Oliver's departure he was the first man we thought of to step up as a replacement. In his short time of being admin he has already done so much work behind the scenes and came up with new innovative ideas. We can't wait to see what he will bring to the future of Speed BA!
That looks like everything for this month, catch you guys in September!
