Two community-voted players from Australia or New Zealand will be going head to head in a Best-of-Seven series with live commentary and stream. The winner of the BO7 each weekend will go on to play a new challenger drawn from the top of the Australasian SC2 talentpool as voted in by the Oceanic public, as well as score themselves $50 thanks to CyberGamer Australia. ![[image loading]](http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/3558/castd.png) Live coverage will be provided by gamestah casters kitfox and daman, with support from local Australian commentators deth and Unstable (varies week to week) on Gamestah TV or deth's livestream. Gamestah TV1The next cast is at 7:00PM on Wednesday the 8th of September.![[image loading]](http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/9770/playerso.png) Legionnaire was best known for his StarCraft: Brood War career, where he achieved what others from the Oceania region can only dream about - playing for a professional Korean team. Despite a slow start in SC2, Legionnaire was spurred to become more competitive by several large tournaments boasting prize pools that the former Protoss pro couldn't ignore. And so Legionnaire is back, despite never being completely absent from the top few Protoss players floating around the SEA server, and this week's KOTH series provides the perfect platform to let everyone know. Kowi has been the star of the New Zealand national team in recent tournaments so expect a strong showing from the kiwi protoss. His micro can be attributed to his WC3 status as the best and possibly only world-class player to come out of NZ and his PvP is one of his stronger matchups. Recently he defeated Azz in a showmatch 2-1 but a BO7 will really test his depth as he has been accused of recycling the same build every game with only minor tweaks. But if it ain't broke! ![[image loading]](http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/2014/prize.png) The winner recieves AU$50 courtesy of CyberGamer: ![[image loading]](http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/7338/cgtextmed.png) ![[image loading]](http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/7807/mapsz.png) Legionnaire < Kulas Ravine > Kowi Legionnaire < Blistering Sands > Kowi Legionnaire < Delta Quadrant > Kowi Legionnaire < Lost Temple > Kowi Legionnaire < Steppes of War > Kowi Legionnaire < Metalopolis > Kowi Legionnaire < Xel’Naga Caverns > Kowi![[image loading]](http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/5505/vodsv.png) Week 1 VODs pinder vs Hectic Week 2 VODs pinder vs KJHWeek 3 VODs Azz vs KJHWeek 4 VODs Azz vs Kowi![[image loading]](http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/8797/resultss.png) [url blocked] + Show Spoiler [Week 1 Results] +[url blocked] + Show Spoiler [Week 2 Results] +[url blocked] + Show Spoiler [Week 3 Results] +[url blocked] + Show Spoiler [Week 4 Results] +![[image loading]](http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/938/votev.png) The Australian and New Zealand community has the chance to participate in the KOTH event via a preliminary KOTH feature soon to be announced!

TL is great because it has a large Oceanic community and also many SEAsians (and US players who we will be connected with eventually) but cybergamer is probably the best for aus/nz only local stuff.
There are one or two other sites in development for Aussie SC2 to keep an eye on too, bringing something new to the table. Teamaus is coming back I heard from a reliable source so that should be cool but the domain name is being camped :3

Honestly its easier to expand to the raised 3rd than your natural as just about every race..the fuck?

Good news guys, CyberGamer has picked up the tab and will be shouting the $50 to the winner so definitely head over to the SC2 section and express your thanks (as well as vote for your favourite players!)

Added sensei (IGN: sAint) to the voting pool!
Good chance for him to start from scratch I think he can be a top player.
