Ladies and Gentlemen,

ESL Asia is proud to announce that we will be launching the most successful Starcraft 2 cup, GO4SC2 for the South-East Asia region! With the launch of the ESL SEA Section for the Electronic Sports League, The ESL Asia committee is pleased to be once again working together with the Starcraft 2 community in South-East Asia after the tremendous success of the Intel Extreme Masters Sea and Asia Qualifiers for Season V of the Intel Extreme Masters where we saw FXO-MoonGlaDe competing in the World Finals at CeBIT in Hannover, Germany!

Electronic Sports League (ESL) introduces Go4SC2, a series of tournaments in Starcraft 2, ONE of the most popular RTS games worldwide for the South-East Asia region. Every Sunday it will feature a cup with unlimited number of participants and 75USD as the main prize. Top 16 players in each cup will be awarded points depending on their performance and the final placement. Every Thursday, another cup will take place and the top 8 will be awarded points. At the End of a month, 8 players with the biggest amount of points will participate in a monthly final with 250USD in cash prizes. The competition will begin on the last Sunday of May (the 29th).

“We are very proud to announce another big step for the South-East Asia Starcraft 2 community“, said Jasper Mah, the Tournament Director for ESL SEA. Right after the successful series of Go4SC2 Cups launched successfully across other regions worldwide, Go4SC2 will offer players of any skill level a regular opportunity to compete with the best for the prize Money. We are looking forward to seeing this”, he added. All the information concerning the tournament and the registration is available at http://www.esl-asia.net/Sea/sc2/go4sc2/

is it fair that a korean living in korea can win a SEA qualifier spot?

Quick Comments

Stallion:

i agree i think a SEA qualifier spot should be for a SEA resident

[ESLSEA]

Congratulations to Soulman for winning GO4SC2 #29!

However only players living in the SEA region are eligible for the SEA qualifier seed for the IEM Guangzhou event. Soulman of course still gets credit for winning the cup, however the qualifier place goes to inFiTargA. So congratulations to both of you.

Look forward to the next cup on Thursday and the next qualifier on Wednesday!

Hi all. We regret to announce that ESL SEA GO4SC2 Cup #36, which will begin at 1800 hrs today, will be canceled due to a lack of signups within the minimum criteria. The IEM NY Qualifier Event will still be going on, as well as Cup #37 on Sunday, and we apologised for any inconvenience caused in the process.

Sixcube
