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.

The Masters Cup is a single elimination style tournament. $120 prize on offer to the winner, $40 2nd prize, $20 3rd. $200 prize pool total*! This event is sponsored by Eddie, Silicon Sports, and sc2sea.com
