[Eddie]

Welcome to the 12th SEA Masters Cup!

SEA vs the World!

The time has come, where every 3rd month, we invite players from all around the globe to come to our server and play with the best SEA has to offer. We hope this brings greater exposure to the SEA scene, and gives some of our players opportunities not always available to them. We are confident many of our players can compete against the worlds best, and as a result we'll have plenty of high quality games for the spectators to enjoy.


The Masters Cup is a single elimination style tournament. $100 prize on offer to the winner, $50 2nd prize, $30 3rd. Plus $50 to the highest placed SEA player. $240 prize pool total*! There is also a lucky draw prize! One lucky person shall get $10 just for joining! This edition of Masters Cup is sponsored by roughly half by Eddie and from sc2sea.com's donations this month.

Thanks goes to the donations this month from Volition, Frogmite, JoFritZMD, QEDFridge, freaky_beeky, Soulja and of course Eddie!

Sponsors and donations for this event are welcomed, if you'd like to help out, please pm me. Masters Cup usually gets around 6000+ viewers, and 100-150 of the highest quality players in the SEA region. Our last Cup had 13000 viewers!

+ [No Tt eSPORTS this month] +

Tt eSPORTS have decided not to sponsor our open SEA vs the world version of the Masters Cup this month, instead preferring to focusing more on Aus/NZ gaming. We respect their decision, and look forward to hopefully working with them again when we return to standard Masters Cup format/events primarily for SEA/Aus/Nz.
