This edition of the Masters Cup will serve as a final NA qualifier for our $3000+ OSC World Finals. There are currently no NA players in the top 32 rankings, this cup might be the last chance to do something about that! Day, time, and server best suited to NA timezone. However, all regions are welcome to play. Any OSC points you can get are vital, as the season ends on December 1!
