At the start of SC2, I organized 4 really fun and enjoyable LAN tournaments in Singapore. Players got to know each other, there were mini-games in the down time and most importantly, it made me realize how much I loved eSports and running events.

It had to come to an end thou, as I was the primary funder of the tournaments and it wasn't cheap. In the months that followed, I continued to run my day-business but was looking to see how I could do this full time, to do it to a scale that could be sustainable.

I have found a way. This tournament is the first step to a great many things to come. It will be run differently, but then again, doing things differently is how progress gets made.

In the event of a tie, the victor of their individual match against each other will decide. Otherwise, its the organizer's choice
