Late start for some players (East AU), but it's at a playable time for our SEA + Chinese warriors (and West AU), or it could be worth setting an alarm for our dedicated NZ friends to gain those important OSC points which represent your ranking in our $50000 league, and qualification towards the $5000+ finals! Top 32 will be paid $. It also enables our NA playerbase another tournament to earn points in, and allows new players from EU to participate in the OSC league.

We are excited to build on our partnership with ASL, who have already brought us ASL Season 5 Challenger + Prime leagues this year. Many of you may know Bacon Infinity from casting numerous sc2 events, or showmatches they have organised. Now that they are moving into hosting a weekly tournament, we are happy to work with them, alongside ASL to allow players from all around the world to gain access to OSC points and our rankings, as well as sharing networking and promotion of events to give more opportunities to starcraft players and fans.

"Both of us at Bacon Infinity as well as our friends at the ASL have always been impressed with the efforts of the SC2SEA community and we are pleased to be able to do something to contribute to their efforts. GL and HF to everybody in the ASL-Bacon Weekly!."

Oseanic StarCraft 2 Championship Series

---

The Oseanic StarCraft 2 Championship Series (OSC) is the Oceanic, South East Asian, North American and Chinese regional championship, which follows a yearly season format, where players earn points for placing in all partnered tournaments.

The top 32 players ranked via the OSC Player Leader board at the end of the season are then invited to play in the 2 day minimum $5000+ Grand Finale to determine the yearly champion! OSC World Rankings were established in December 2012.

In 2014 OSC partnered tournaments gave away $29691 combined prizepool, ($ bounties, Terran Bonus initiative, Invitationals, and LAN events were not included in this!), ran 155 completed partnered tournaments (up from 77 last year, which equates to 100% growth), and saw 358 individual players with points earned (up from 138 in 2013 = 159% growth)

Current season rankings and database can be viewed here

GuMiho was 2014's Champion, taking out the $3500 finals series.
PiG was 2013's Champion, taking out the $2100 finals series.
