[Eddie]

Welcome to the 19th SEA Masters Cup!

SEA vs the World!

(Games will be played on NA server)

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. $75 prize on offer to the winner, $30 2nd prize, $20 3rd. Plus $20 to the highest placed SEA player. $165 prize pool total*! This event is sponsored by Eddie and sc2sea.com

Sponsors and donations for this event are welcomed, if you'd like to help out, please pm me. Masters Cup usually gets around 10000+ viewers, and 100-150 of the highest quality players in the SEA region. Our last few Cups have had 15000+ viewers!

We have recently created a facebook page where you can follow all Masters Cup tournament news and updates. It's also something we can potentially take back to sponsors, to show how much community support our event has, and use it to help bring bigger events in the future. So click that like button
