Open to all SEA players
![[image loading]](http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m305/MBEddie/ZrhA0MS.png)
The OSC team and Team Exile 5 are partnering together to bring you this new bimonthly SEA only tournament.
The aim of this tournament is to showcase and support the up and coming players in our region.
2/3 will be $250+ invitationals, and 1/3 will be an $350+ Open Challenge edition.
Real gamers play starcraft! It's all about passion and dedication. Practice and discipline. Going head to head with a direct opponent. Doing your best and striving to be the best. The pursuit of excellence. It's not a game for casuals, it's a sport for champions!
However it can very hard to have a breakout tournament, let alone win one, so the SEA Rising Star will be your place to shine and battle against your peers!
We hope this tournament will encourage more participation and give opportunities to the next generation of stars. The SEA Rising Star is a stepping stone towards greater glory, championships, sponsors, teams, etc.
Players who have qualified for WCS, placed top 3 at an ACL Championship, or won a Masters Cup are already proven champions, so unfortunately not able to participate in SEA Rising Star series.
