NATIONWARS II has already given us incredible Sc2 country fervour, and we thank you for your enthusiasm in making this competition so exciting for every Starcraft 2 fan. The national teams showed high-level games and thrilling Starcraft 2 action and the spectacle became more and more intense in Ro8, with more to come.

This tournament is very special because it is the first globally crowdfunded Starcraft II tournament.

Indeed, we offer the community to fund the NATIONWARS II according your own wishes from 1€ to 20,000€. This exciting competition had been expected for months by the Starcraft II community and we all want the countries to defend their flags and colours in a wonderful theater in Paris.




To manage to organize an outstanding NationWars II and continue to promote eSport with exceptional events, O'Gaming needs the community's support to fund the tournament and turn NationWars into an incredible competition that we could all be proud to be part of.

More than a tournament which enables people to select players, NATIONWARS II is a participative Tournament which offers the audience an opportunity to decide the scale of the Finals, and to fund the CashPrize Live.

This crowdfunding has different objectives:



FIRST OBJECTIVE: BRING THE FINALS TO "LE TRIANON"

The first step is the most important: if we reach it, the project will be realized.

First step is set at 145.000?. The funding plan is composed by 80.000? of Entry tickets sales, (included in the gauge) and by 65.000 euros of additional Online donations, allowing us to cover the Production expenses of the Finals which amounts 145.000 euros.

The Finals Program : The four best Teams are battling Onstage for the Title through 4 final matches (Ro4 & Finals). As an interlude, 16 players selected by drawing lots (see the "PAWN" Option) will play to defend their colours in the Pandemonium broke out of two exhibition FreeForAlls.

On the 26th of July 2014, more than a thousand people will attend the Show and live the Event onspot. Entry Tickets will be numbered and are divided in 3 seats category: category 3, category 2 and categorie 1 (golden circle tickets) depending on the placement in the venue.

If you help us reach this first step , you also fund a minimum cashprize of 15.000 euros (20.700 USD).

The bigger the project is, the higher the CashPrize will be for players to share.


2ND OBJECTIVE : NATIONWARS CHAMPIONS VS KOREAN SELECTION

If the crowdfunding plan goes above the first step by 20.000 euros (or more) and reaches 165.000 euros, NATIONWARS II will be enhanced by an epic epilogue !

We offer to produce an Ultimate Match, opposing the NATIONWARS II winner and the South Korean selection, BestOf9 games in the following weeks after the Finals (date to be determined still).
