AsiaSoft has come forward to support the Starcraft 2 scene, and are working with SC2SEA to promote some awesome eSports events.
We may have been slightly disappointed to find out South-East Asia no longer has its own WCS this year. Lucky for us, the kind folks at Blizzard & AsiaSoft have put together a small series of tournaments just the SEA region in the form of the Vengeance Cup. This should provide the chance of good competition along with decent prize pools!
For now, these countries will be Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, with each of them having their own prize pools and national champions. The Malaysian Vengeance Cup alone already has a cash prize pool of 4,900RM!. The prizes are sponsored by Blizzard and AsiaSoft, while SC2SEA.com will be the official tournament organizer for all the qualifiers (except for the NUS qualifier). There is also a separate $1,000 Star Jeweled tournament going on as the side event, so get your girlfriends down and score some sweet loot!

STAR JEWELED F.A.Q.
Q: Can players who already qualified play again in the other qualifiers?
A: No. Except for the NUS qualifier, as it has a $600 prize pool.
Q: How many qualifiers can I sign up for?
A: As many as you like, just make sure you can attend the qualifiers. If you happen to win an earlier qualifier and thus become ineligible to participate, you will be removed from the later ones.
Q: I paid $10 for the Qualifier #1 registration, why does it say its free?
A: We have just decided registration should be free. So don't worry for those who have paid for qualifier #1, we will be in touch with you soon to refund payment. Also note the NUS qualifier will cost $15 as it is self funded.
