[Eddie]

Welcome to the 8th SEA Masters Cup!



This event is a 128 player competition, single elimination style tournament. $75 prize on offer to the winner, sponsored by Eddie! Sc2sea will donate $30 from our community donations as well. $20 2nd prize, $10 3rd. $105 prize pool total*!

Sponsors and donations for this event are welcomed, if you'd like to help out, please pm me. Masters Cup usually gets around 1000 viewers, and 100-150 of the highest quality players in the SEA region.

For this Masters Cup there will be a couple of changes.

1- We are changing back to our original start time of 6pm aest, which shall allow the R16 to be BO3, possibly R32 as well.
2- Seeding shall likely be introduced! This is to ensure the top players/favourites don't meet up in the knockout first rounds.

The exact way we shall seed and whether the R32 should be BO3 is still undecided, so please offer your thoughts and vote in this thread
