Where are all the top tier Terrans at?

Nobody knows? It's been a sad occurrence in our heavily Zerg and Protoss dominated scene for a while now.

Some statistics to consider.

• Of the 41 Masters Cups, 33 have been won by , 5 by and only 3 by .
• In the current OSC rankings there are only 2 Terrans ranked in the top 32 (Down from 5/32 in season 1).
• iaguz is the only non zerg to have won an ACL championship (once).
• If you look through most of the top SEA team lists, you'll be lucky to find a Terran representative.

So it seems Terrans are a bit of an endangered species atm.

Silicon Sports and the OSC team are partnering together to do something about this discrepancy!

ANY Terran player who places in the money in a OSC partnered tournament will be awarded double their earnings up to $100 in value for SEA residents and $25 for International players (Korea, Europe, NA)!

+ [Examples] +

If a SEA Terran player wins a SEAcraft Weekly $30 first place, $60 will be coming your way.
Win $100 in a Masters Cup, $200 will be coming your way.

If an international Terran player wins a SEAcraft Weekly $30 first place, $55 will be coming your way.
Win $100 in a Masters Cup, $125 will be coming your way.

Before everyone switches to try terran for a week, remember that you'll still have the best chance at winning if you play your main race. This is designed to encourage up and coming SEA terrans, and international big names to play in OSC tournaments. You must play the entire tournament as Terran, no switching mid series/mid tournament.

*Note, playing as random doesn't count as Terran. A cap of $150 per player will be set, you can't earn bonuses once this amount has been reached Invitationals and WCS NA Qualifiers will be excluded from future bonuses, as already a very rewarding prizepool!
