The time has come, where every 3rd month, we invite players from all around the globe to come play against 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.
This Masters Cup shall also act as the first NA open qualifier for our new season of the SEA Star League, a $1,130 prize pool, 16 player double elimination tournament. The top two players from this event earn seeding into the SEASL. Additional info can be found here.
The Masters Cup is a single elimination style tournament. $140 prize on offer to the winner, $70 2nd prize, $30 3rd. Plus $30 to the highest placed SEA player. $280 prize pool total*! This event is sponsored by FaDeBadger, 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 10000+ viewers, and 100-150 of the highest quality players in the SEA region. Our last few Cups have had 13000+ viewers!
