EPTGlobal All-Stars 2.0
The Global All-stars tournament is run by the OSC team and aims to increase the interaction and competition between the North American, European, SEA and Chinese scenes. The tournament is open to all SEA, EU, NA and China citizens and gives a chance for many of these regions best and up-and-coming players to test themselves against pros they may not usually play against.
Additionally we want to see how the regions match up, and who will take out the trophy and title of best foreigner!
In addition to the $ prize pool, this tournament also gives out OSC points towards the $5000+ yearly finals!

Help us support those players who need it most. These guys might not have the support of a Kespa team, the glory/opportunities of a GSL, or the overall culture and acceptance of their craft that their Korean adversaries receive.
We are asking the community to help us add to our prizepool. This is a grassroots/non for profit organisation, so any assistance you can give towards helping us run this event would be appreciated. All money goes to the players!
We've set-up a indiegogo page, please check it out.

Without these companies contributing to our tournament it's fair to say the prizepool would be far smaller. But it's not just about the $'s. All these companies have a long history of supporting Starcraft 2 and esports. They care about the scene and the community. So many thanks to them all! If you esports fans, players etc can send them some love and thanks for supporting SC2 + the Oseanic Championship Series it would be appreciated in return.

What is OSC?
For those who are unaware, The Oseanic StarCraft 2 Championship Series (OSC) is the Oceanic, South East Asian, North American and Chinese regional championship, which follows a yearly season format, where players earn points for placing in all partnered tournaments. Although the network is based in and focuses on these regions, many events are open to everyone in the world.
The top 32 players ranked via the OSC Player Leader board at the end of the season are then invited to play in the 2 day minimum $5000+ Grand Finale to determine the yearly champion! OSC World Rankings were established in December 2012.
In 2014 OSC partnered tournaments gave away $29691 combined prizepool, ($ bounties, Terran Bonus initiative, Invitationals, and LAN events were not included in this!), ran 155 completed partnered tournaments (up from 77 last year, which equates to 100% growth), and had 358 individual players with points earned (up from 138 in 2013 = 159% growth)
GuMiho was 2014's Champion, taking out the $3500 finals series.
PiG was 2013's Champion, taking out the $2100 finals series.
Current OSC rankings and database can be viewed here
Factors which influence how many OSC points tournaments are allocated include: prizepool, format, frequency, open qualifiers and region locking.
Some unique/interesting features of OSC tournaments and rankings.
- Players are seeding via points acquired from previous OSC placings. (Points often are awarded to 16/32nd place)
- If you defeat someone ranked in the top 32, or higher than yourself, you earn scalp/bonus points (These are used in the event of a tie for yearly finals qualification)
- Players can challenge each other to show matches and put their points on the line, winner takes all.
- There are $ Bounties on top tier players if you can defeat them in a Bo3+ series
- Rankings reflect tournament success, participation, and direct individual series
- We have an active paid news writing team who provide fresh sc2 content and OSC coverage, available at sc2sea.com
OSC Supporter Packages
You can show your support towards OSC, and help us put on events for the community for just $8 USD per month! One less chocolate bar/One less beer at the pub/a couple less songs on iTunes, etc, and the money goes towards supporting the scene It's quite common place for players/casters to have a subscription option on twitch tv (which isn't an option for us), and we feel we have much more to give back in terms of entertainment, competition and rewards. Subscribers are also another way we can potentially market ourselves to prospective sponsors, which in turn will result in further growth.
We also provided supporters with bonuses such as event replay packs, and chance to win 1 hour of coaching from top tier players.
