The time has come, where every 3rd month, we invite players from all around the globe to come to our server and play with the best SEA has to offer. We hope this brings greater exposure to the SEA scene, and gives some of our players opportunities not always available to them. We are confident many of our players can compete against the worlds best, and as a result we'll have plenty of high quality games for the spectators to enjoy.
The Masters Cup is a single elimination style tournament. $100 prize on offer to the winner, $50 2nd prize, $30 3rd. Plus $50 to the highest placed SEA player. $240 prize pool total*! There is also a lucky draw prize! One lucky person shall get $10 just for joining! This event is sponsored by Eddie and sc2sea.com
Sponsors and donations for this event are welcomed, if you'd like to help out, please pm me. Masters Cup usually gets around 6000+ viewers, and 100-150 of the highest quality players in the SEA region. Our last Cup had 13000 viewers!
$10 free prize just for playing + Show Spoiler +
$10 just for joining this Masters Cup!!
One lucky participant shall receive $10! While not a massive prize, its a free pizza, or a couple beers, etc, just for playing some sc2! Even if you are eliminated early be sure to stick around, watch the high quality games, and listen out for who will win (It may well be you!). Purpose of this is to encourage player participation, and offer a small reward for those who fail to place, as every game is of a high level.
