OSC Melee Signups here

2018 OSC Changes:

[image loading]

As this is posted, we are coming towards the end of our 2017 Championship (featuring the top 50 players who acquired points from 550+ events in 2017), however, even while that's been going on, the team have been working hard behind the scenes to launch season 2018 and go again, with some exciting changes! All your favourite partnered events should be back bigger and better than ever, with a few new cups coming too!

Working closely with players and teams, we are pleased to see it’s becoming more common practice for teams to incorporate OSC Rankings and participation into player salaries/bonuses, and after such a successful 2017, we hope to see this continue! With that said (and with the implementation of free to play), in 2018 we want to create incentives for new players to play and watch the sport, so have come up with flights and accommodation prizes that everyone has a chance at winning, with the aim of achieving our goal!

We're again committed to putting on an ongoing narrative for players to compete in and fans to follow and enjoy in 2018

Season 2018 starts Monday, Jan 15 2:00am GMT (GMT+00:00) with OSC Melee #19!

You can find and keep up to date with all upcoming partnered tournaments, rankings, results and rewards at SC2Online



Player Participation Changes:

Every Player, regardless of region now earns the same participation points per OSC Partnered Tournament (2.5)

Participation Competition no longer gives out $'s to the top 5-8 players from every region every 6 months.
(2017 Pt 2 winners can be seen here.)

We are going to replace regional 6 monthly participation prizes with a 6 monthly lottery draw.
(January-June + July-December)

Players earn tickets by playing in OSC Partnered Tournaments. Additional tickets are earned the more you play!

We hope this will encourage amateurs to play more and allow them a chance to compete in this competition against semi pros and pros (who are paid to play OSC, and can rack up big tournament participation totals), who were hard to match/catch up against in the 2017 version.

Prizes:

1st Place:

1x return flight to a SC2 event of your choosing, accommodation for and entry to the event

2nd $150
3rd $100
4th $75
5th $50


How it works:

5 tournaments = 1 ticket
10 = 2
20 = 3
30 = 4
50 = 6
75= 8
100 = 10
125 = 12
150=15

Potentially anyone with 5+ tournaments has a chance to win the big prize (or $'s)!

Conditions + Show Spoiler +
- This must be used for a SC2 event, and not another sport or purpose
- Open to anyone (of any country) of adequate age to travel independently
- The winner has 12 months to use the prize before it becomes invalid
- The winner must have/obtain a valid passport and any visas required at their own expense
- OSC will work with the winner to schedule flights and accommodation, but will have final discretion of travel details, and will handle all details of the bookings
- This competition is designed around weekend/week long tournaments, not longer formats, and as such accommodation isn't open ended. If the winner wishes to stay in their destination longer, they can organise with OSC in advance to book a delayed return flight, and cover additional accommodation at their own expense.
- The winner releases OSC of any liability arising from travel or their activities at the event.
- OSC reserves the right to update or change/edit the conditions of this competition throughout it's run in order to improve or clarify conditions
-More to be updated.

Prizes for Supporters of the OSCesports Twitch Channel:

As part of the OSC re-brand in quarter 4 of 2017, we launched our OSCesports Twitch Channel. We believe we've assembled a great selection of regular and guest casters, who can help us provide daily content on the channel, and are really pleased by what we have all achieved in such a short amount of time.

We're already twitch partnered, and have passed some nice milestones, so are excited what we can do over a whole year in 2018. Current schedule has 44 minimum events on the channel each month, but this may well increase. We hope to make OSCesports a consistent and enjoyable place for all to enjoy SC2, and want to offer some cool rewards to the community who help us grow the channel.

We offer Ongoing Benefits, as well as Monthly + Yearly Prizes!

Yearly Prize:

Starcraft Fan experience!

1x return flight to a SC2 event of your choosing, accommodation for and entry to the event

Spend the event as an honorary OSC Elite player, go behind the scenes with players at the event, receive an OSC Elite Jersey with your name on it, and if you want to play in the tournament/are eligible to, we’ll cover your entry.

To clarify recent doubts, a return flight = to and back from the destination!
