SC2SEA.com - Starcraft 2 SEA eSports Community Site

**nirvAnA** · Mon, 22nd-Apr-2013, 12:31 AM

AsiaSoft has come forward to support the Starcraft 2 scene, and are working with SC2SEA to promote some awesome eSports events.

We may have been slightly disappointed to find out South-East Asia no longer has its own WCS this year. Lucky for us, the kind folks at Blizzard & AsiaSoft have put together a small series of tournaments just the SEA region in the form of the Vengeance Cup. This should provide the chance of good competition along with decent prize pools!

For now, these countries will be

Singapore,

Malaysia and

Thailand, with each of them having their own prize pools and national champions. The Singapore Vengeance Cup alone already has a cash prize pool of over $5,000!. The prizes are sponsored by Blizzard and AsiaSoft, while SC2SEA.com will be the official tournament organizer for all the qualifiers (except for the NUS qualifier). There is also a separate $1,000+ Star Jeweled tournament going on as the side event, so get your girlfriends down and score some sweet loot!

F.A.Q.

Q: Can players who already qualified play again in the other qualifiers?
A: No. Except for the NUS qualifier, as it has a $600 prize pool.

Q: How many qualifiers can I sign up for?
A: As many as you like, just make sure you can attend the qualifiers. If you happen to win an earlier qualifier and thus become ineligible to participate, you will be removed from the later ones.

Q: I paid $10 for the Qualifier #1 registration, why does it say its free?
A: We have just decided registration should be free. So don't worry for those who have paid for qualifier #1, we will be in touch with you soon to refund payment. Also note the NUS qualifier will cost $15 as it is self funded.

**Elusory** · Mon, 22nd-Apr-2013, 1:54 AM

What time will Qualifier #2 start?

Edit: Thanks for the quick reply!

**nirvAnA** · Mon, 22nd-Apr-2013, 1:59 AM

A tentative time would be 11am. Will finalize the times soon so its subject to change.

boboGene.299 · Mon, 22nd-Apr-2013, 9:22 AM

Question, i'm looking at this but i cant find the registration fee, does that mean there isnt any?

**nirvAnA** · Mon, 22nd-Apr-2013, 9:24 AM

Yes, there is no registration fee, sign up is free. Except for the NUS qualifier which is $15 as it is a self funded tournament.

You will need to reply to a confirmation email from me 1 week before the tournament so just sign up and look out for that.

pretty sure you can't, they're all LAN qualifiers except the last one and a LAN final. I suppose if you can make it for the LAN final..

TtSYF.tRoy · Mon, 22nd-Apr-2013, 5:26 PM

yeah two things firstly where that Aussie series

Secondly if a Aussie qualifies in the online qualifiers can they attend the lan?

No, this tournament is only open to Singaporean citizens and PRs. So aussies cannot play in the qualifiers either.

It all depends if the Australian distributor wants to put a series of tournaments together. Unfortunately this seems unlikely atm

This tournament was an initiative by Blizzard/Asiasoft who work closely together. Asiasoft is the distributor of Blizzard games in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand hence the Vengeance Cup will be in these 3 countries.

Wait, so if you're here on a working visa, I guess you can't participate?

Quick Comments

nirvAnA:

If you're residing in Singapore it should not be an issue.

**yongming** · Mon, 22nd-Apr-2013, 6:45 PM

im curious. did lobo win any prize money for getting 2nd apart from the seed?
if not, it kinda suck for a 2nd place player.

Quick Comments

nirvAnA:

He won $100. That is the 2nd prize pay out for all the qualifiers apart from NUS which is $200

TragicHero · Mon, 22nd-Apr-2013, 6:54 PM

Reading from the above I'm assuming a Malaysian version of the Vengeance Cup is in the works as well?

Edit: Nvm, didn't read that last sentence from the post lol.

Quick Comments

nirvAnA:

Yup its in the works. Details will be posted soon.
