Wow, that's awesome! You're a legend for doing that

Yep Terran yet to win one!

Bit surprising when SEA has quite a few high level Terrans: RedArchon, Rossi, Iaguz, Deth, YoonYJ, etc.

Best results for Terran is one second place and 3 thirds

6 Zerg Master Cup wins and 2 for Protoss.

Hi.

Sorry, but you're SEA account is in Gold, and that isn't high enough for this tournament.

Rules state: International/non SEA players are welcome, but they must have shown they are active on the SEA ladder

If you'd like to play on SEA in the coming weeks, you'd be welcome to join the next Masters Cup in 4 weeks from now
