"OSC is one of the foundations that have been keeping together the competitive SC2 spirit of SEA and Oceania. With it, this year's OSC finals will surely be one of the biggest events especially with the fresh release of LOTV. In line with this, LOTV tournaments in ESL Play SEA will be awarding points that lets players qualify for the OSC Finals which will surely boost further the drive of the local talent

ESL Play has been one of the tournament platforms responsible for hosting open cups for several years now. As one of the admins of ESL SC2 and a proud gamer of SEA, it's only fair that ESL Play gives host to SC2 cups for the region"
