The Global All-stars tournament is run by the OSC team and aims to increase the interaction and competition between the North American, European, SEA and Chinese scenes. The tournament is open to all SEA, EU, NA and China citizens and gives a chance for many of these regions best and up-and-coming players to test themselves against pros they may not usually play against.
Additionally we want to see how the regions match up, and who will take out the trophy and title of best foreigner!
The top 3 ranked players by OSC points (as of May 31st) along with the top 3 players from Season 1 are seeded in the Round of 16, which will take place at 7pm AEST/11am CEST on June 21st.

Help up support those players who need it most. These guys might not have the support of a Kespa team, the glory/opportunities of a GSL, or the overall culture and acceptance of their craft that their Korean adversaries receive.
We are asking the community to help us add to our prizepool. This is a grassroots/non for profit organisation, so any assistance you can give towards helping us run this event would be appreciated. All money goes to the players!
*Arium had to withdraw due to a pre planned vacation clashing, so ZhuGeLiang was selected to replace him, as he was next in line from the last chance qualifier, but he also had to withdraw, so DIMAGA will take to the spot.
**Xenocider was originally invited, and placed in group C, but had to withdraw, so intense will take the spot.

Default server is North America, however if both players agree, their series can be played on another server, but must you notify admin before + after. In the event of disagreement, Game 1 will be played on NA, and the loser can pick the server for the next map.
Players are advised to join the in game group OSC on NA server, so they can contact their opponents and admin.

For Best of 3 Series, both players take turns to veto 2 maps from the map pool, so there is 3 left, then they each select the map they most want if they lose, and start with the remaining map.
For Best of 5 Series, both players take turns to veto 1 map from the map pool, so there is 5 left, then they each select the map they most want if they lose, repeat, and start with the remaining map.
Only official tournament streams and casters are allowed to observe/stream matches. No first person streams.

Global All Star Sponsors!
Without these companies contributing to our tournament it's fair to say the prizepool would be far smaller. But it's not just about the $'s. All these companies have a long history of supporting Starcraft 2 and esports in SEA. They care about the scene and our community. So many thanks to them all! If you esports fans, players etc can send them some love and thanks for supporting SC2 + the Oseanic StarCraft 2 Championship Series it would be appreciated in return. They all are leaders in their industry, so if it comes down to a choice between brands, pick these guys who support esports!

Oseanic StarCraft 2 Championship Series
The Global All Stars is a partnered tournament of the Oseanic StarCraft 2 Championship Series (OSC). The OSC is the Oceanic, South East Asian, North American and Chinese regional championship, which follows a yearly season format, where players earn points for placing in all partnered tournaments.
The top 32 players ranked via the OSC Player Leader board at the end of the season are then invited to play in the 2 day minimum $5000+ Grand Finale to determine the yearly champion! OSC World Rankings were established in December 2012.
In 2014 OSC partnered tournaments gave away $29691 combined prizepool, ($ bounties, Terran Bonus initiative, Invitationals, and LAN events were not included in this!), we had 155 completed partnered tournaments (up from 77 last year, which equates to 100% growth), and saw 358 individual players with points earned (up from 138 in 2013 = 159% growth)
You can show your support towards OSC, and help us put on events for the community for just $8 USD per month! One less chocolate bar/One less beer at the pub/a couple less songs on iTunes, etc, and the money goes towards supporting the scene It's quite common place for players/casters to have a subscription option on twitch tv (which isn't an option for us), and we feel we have much more to give back in terms of entertainment, competition and rewards. Subscribers are also another way we can potentially market ourselves to prospective sponsors, which in turn will result in further growth.
We also provided supporters with bonuses such as event replay packs, and chance to win 1 hour of coaching from top tier players.
