Powered by Nvidia!

14 September 2014 2:00 PM AESTCountdown to 14th September 2pm!

SEA Players Only

Brackets here


The OSC team and Team Exile 5 are partnering together to bring you this new bimonthly SEA only tournament.

The aim of this tournament is to showcase and support the up and coming players in our region.
2/3 will be $250+ invitationals, and 1/3 will be a $350+ Open Challenge edition.

---

Real gamers play starcraft! It's all about passion and dedication. Practice and discipline. Going head to head with a direct opponent. Doing your best and striving to be the best. The pursuit of excellence. It's not a game for casuals, it's a sport for champions!

However it can very hard to have a breakout tournament, let alone win one, so the SEA Rising Star will be your place to shine and battle against your peers!

We hope this tournament will encourage more participation and give opportunities to the next generation of stars. The SEA Rising Star is a stepping stone towards greater glory, championships, sponsors, teams, etc.

Players who have qualified for WCS, placed top 3 at an ACL Championship, won a SEA Rising Star Open Challenge, or won a Masters Cup are already proven champions, so unfortunately not able to participate in SEA Rising Star series.

KingKong, PiG, EnDerr, Petraeus, mOOnGLaDe, iaguz, Pigeon, HuT, Ninja, Rossi, Poker, Light, Mafia, Tgun

Oseanic StarCraft 2 Championship Series



SEA Rising Star is a partnered tournament of the Oseanic StarCraft 2 Championship Series (OSC). OSC is the SEA regional championship, which follows a yearly season format, where players earn points for placing in all partnered tournaments. The top 32 players ranked via SEA Power Rankings / OSC Player Leader board at the end of the season are then invited to play in the Grand Finale to determine the yearly champion!

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

Current 2014 rankings can be found here

Without these companies contributing to our tournament it's fair to say the prizepool would be far smaller. But it's not just about the $'s. All these companies have a long history of supporting Starcraft 2 and esports in SEA. They care about the scene and our community. So many thanks to them all! If you esports fans, players etc can send them some love and thanks for supporting SC2 + the SEA Championship Series it would be appreciated in return. They all are leaders in their industry, so if it comes down to a choice between brands, pick these guys who support esports!

Here's a video I made of some highlights I was able to get off twitch. I casted a few games but not much.

Hopefully next time the players can join the casting so I can get you guys some really good highlights... for now I just used what I scavenged from Insano's

Hope you all enjoy it.
