It's been a massive start to 2016!

Big thanks to our tournament partners, the OSC/SC2Online team, our sponsors, and most importantly all the players and fans!

Participation Competitions!

*Voidreaver 26

The OSC team are happy to announce the Jan-June winners of the our Participation Bonus competition, a new initiative we launched in 2015, which was a huge success! It doesn't matter what league, Bronze - Grand Master, it's all about participation! You don't even have to win. We know who our top players are, we run tournaments to see who is the best on the day/month/year, but what we really want to know is, who is the most dedicated?

We decided to split the year into 2 half seasons (Jan-end of June, July-end of year), and by breaking the system down into 2 'seasons', we hope it should refresh the 2nd half of the year, as if you came in late 'season 1', or took time away from the game for a while, you can still go hard and earn $'s in 'season 2'

OSC World Rankings!

We are happy to officially announce that the end of year OSC Championship will increase from top 32, to feature the top 50 players! The prizepool will be a min $7500 AUD!

Given the depth of talent, increase in competitors, tournaments and overall size of the League in 2016, we feel top 50 is the new benchmark, and still reflects the highest tier of players. Working with teams and players (including launching our own OSC Sponsorships), we are very happy to see many of those top 50 players earn salary/incentives from our rankings (/in conjunction with other events), due to the ongoing nature of the league, the level of and size of the competition, and marketability! We expect this to become more common, and perhaps even increase to top 100 if the League continues to grow at current rate!

So while the rankings system is working fantastically, as the main benefit for players and teams comes throughout the year via rankings and ongoing data, everyone loves to see all the top and hardest working players battle it out to find our OSC Champion!

So as we plan ahead to the end of year Championship, we still want to implement a format that reward those who finished highly throughout the year, so will be looking into the best format over the next few months.

Example of Championship for top 32 players.

We may simply extend the lower bracket to include players 33-50, or we could look at doing a Round Robin Bo2 SSL Format where x amount of players qualify for the lower bracket. Or something completely new... If you have any ideas, please share!

At the end of June 2016, these are our top 50 players!
