+ Show +

Ladies and Gentlemen,

ESL Asia is proud to announce that we will be launching the most successful Starcraft 2 cup, GO4SC2 for the South-East Asia region! With the launch of the ESL SEA Section for the Electronic Sports League, The ESL Asia committee is pleased to be once again working together with the Starcraft 2 community in South-East Asia after the tremendous success of the Intel Extreme Masters Sea and Asia Qualifiers for Season V of the Intel Extreme Masters where we saw FXO-MoonGlaDe competing in the World Finals at CeBIT in Hannover, Germany!

Electronic Sports League (ESL) introduces Go4SC2, a series of tournaments in Starcraft 2, ONE of the most popular RTS games worldwide for the South-East Asia region. Every Sunday it will feature a cup with unlimited number of participants and 75USD as the main prize. Top 16 players in each cup will be awarded points depending on their performance and the final placement. Every Thursday, another cup will take place and the top 8 will be awarded points. At the End of a month, 8 players with the biggest amount of points will participate in a monthly final with 250USD in cash prizes. The competition will begin on the last Sunday of May (the 29th).

“We are very proud to announce another big step for the South-East Asia Starcraft 2 community“, said Jasper Mah, the Tournament Director for ESL SEA. Right after the successful series of Go4SC2 Cups launched successfully across other regions worldwide, Go4SC2 will offer players of any skill level a regular opportunity to compete with the best for the prize Money. We are looking forward to seeing this”, he added. All the information concerning the tournament and the registration is available at http://www.esl-asia.net/Sea/sc2/go4sc2/

Starcraft 2 is ONE of the most-played PC games in the world, where players compete against ONE another for Victory on highly stylized battlefields and landscapes. Go4SC2 will not be the Only Starcraft 2 tournament within the Electronic Sports League for South-East Asia. Taking Into consideration its large popularity as well as a high international level of the game play, it was already introduced as ONE of the disciplines of the Intel Extreme Masters, the premier eSports event held in seasons that introduce large cash prize Money to be competed by players from all over the world.

is it fair that a korean living in korea can win a SEA qualifier spot?

Quick Comments

Stallion:

i agree i think a SEA qualifier spot should be for a SEA resident

[ESLSEA]

Congratulations to Soulman for winning GO4SC2 #29!

However only players living in the SEA region are eligible for the SEA qualifier seed for the IEM Guangzhou event. Soulman of course still gets credit for winning the cup, however the qualifier place goes to inFiTargA. So congratulations to both of you.

Look forward to the next cup on Thursday and the next qualifier on Wednesday!

Hello all,

ESLSEA has decided that for the forseeable future, Go4SC2 events will not be held on thursday nights. Go4SC2 Sunday's will still be on however, and we encourage anyone and everyone to sign up for the $75 event every week.

August and September's monthly finals will be seeded including the Thursday and Sunday cup points, however October's monthly finals will be seeded only including Sunday cup points.

Thankyou for your patience and understanding,

Sixcube

[zendex]

I wonder why Go4SC2 SEA is getting small player counts compared to its NA and EU counterparts :/

[zendex]

Hi, I would like to follow up on the 75USD Enderr won in last Sunday's SEA Go4SC2 Cup #39. I'm worried that the admin (EveFrancis) on that day might have overlooked it. Thanks

[YJY]

Where is my 75$ prize?

[YJY]

it has been such a long time. will i be able to smell this thing before sweet death

Quick Comments

ToR.Arnor:

Give this man he's money so we can go drinking again!

[Stallion]

i havnt been able to sign up for it the last few times ive tried after now trying to do this event weekly as i see it as the best way for myself and other people to get recognised in the sea community has something happened to it or is my laptop a hater?

[ESLSEA]

@Zendex; I'm sure sixcube has EnDerr's skype details, so i will notify him of the oversight and we'll get right on it.

@YJY: Sorry man, sometimes the money takes a while to go through. Unfortunately the process takes a while, and sometimes mistakes can happen. I'll double check that we're moving on it for you. Apologies again.

@Stallion: http://www.esl-asia.net/sea#/sea/sc2.../cup40/signup/ try that link, that is a direct link to the signup. I would have posted it tomorrow anyway, but i'll just try posting the link with no bbcode and we'll see if that helps you at all.

As for the size of the ESLSEA entrants, yes we do get a lot less, but the community in SEA is a lot smaller than our NA and EU counterparts. Also, they have been running for a long, long time and have managed to work out all the kinks and have everything running smoothly. We've only been up for 6 months ish now, and there is still a lot of development to go.

(also, just a small note, EU and NA has a big staff, whereas SEA runs almost entirely off of volunteers)

Hellfyre

Ninja
TargA
pokerface
Jerry
RedArchon
EnDerr
JaBiTo
GviewKatsu

Also, do we have a final date for the Oct Finals?

[TAEdgE]

Hey to sixcube/Hellfyre or whoever reads this:

Soulman is querying as to when he will get paid his winnings for the ESL finals, or if there are any outstanding payments left from any sunday cups (if they still paid), he may wonder about them too.

Just letting you know he doesn't know what's going on, and would like to buy McDonalds for a month.

Sincerely, Cam.

[ESLSEA]

Hi guys, starting with Cam's note there, I've spoken to 'Xp, who says the money will be getting transferred this week.

That includes all winnings from the August Finals, as well as from all cup's won during the month of August. You will receive all of your money soulman.



On to Zendex's question, we haven't calculated the totals yet, because we're concentrating on doing the September finals first. However the October finals will probably be in a couple of weeks. We will obviously not schedule it on a night where there is another major event, as it is a qualified tournament, and for some of the players to not be able to make it would be a big loss. I would expect sometime during the week that begins on the 14th of November. September finals will be this week. Keep an eye out for announcements.

Regards,
Hellfyre.

[ESLSEA]

Hey everyone,

I'd just like to explain something that should clarify any money issues people are having with any past ESLSEA Go4SC2 Cups or finals.

The money all gets transferred at once. This means that if you have won a cup during the month, you have to wait until after the monthly finals.

Unfortunately due to delays recently with the cups, the finals haven't been going ahead, and therefore the moneys from the Go4SC2 cups have been in 'stasis', waiting for the finals. We are now getting on top of the monthly finals situation, and thus everyone will get paid their winnings soon!

We are deeply sorry for any inconvenience or concern that this may have caused. Don't worry, the money is there!

Regards,
ESL Admin Team

If you still have outstanding money issues that are unrelated to the delay in cups, please contact sixcube on jasper.mah@esl-asia.net. He is attempting to get all money issues solved ASAP.

Any idea what's happened to it?

What happens Pokerface, is that the money is all paid out in bulk after the monthly final for that respective month. The november monthly final will be soon. After that monthly final, the money all gets paid out. This is the system that the ESL uses.

So we do have the money for you, and you will receive it, just due to the IEM qualifiers and christmas, the final may be delayed slightly. Nowhere near as much as previous delays though. Don't worry.



P.S. All this information is already in the thread.

Ah right my bad, I thought the November finals happened a few weeks ago. Thought it would be November since it was at the end of November.
