This years finals starting prizepool will be $5000 min, but we plan to work hard to make that even bigger, and be a true reflection and reward for the most active and performing SC2 players in the world! These guys will likely play in 50+ tournaments just to qualify. No invite only/reward the rich/popular system, it's all about who works hardest across the year and who can score the results!

Seeding will be vitally important come finals as well.
Top 8 players will be seeded throughout the upper bracket.
Players 9-20 will face each other in the Upper bracket (all series Bo3), and move onto face Top 8 players as they progress.
Players ranked 21-32 will start in the lower bracket, Bo5 single elim and just have the one life.
(Example using current rankings)

We will also work hard to bring more tournaments, and new partnerships to give players across the globe opportunities to qualify, as well as supporting our local regions and core player base.

We are going to pay YOU to play in 2015!!

OSC Supporter Packages

You can show your support towards OSC, and help us put on events for the community for just $8 USD per month! One less chocolate bar/One less beer at the pub/a couple less songs on iTunes, etc, and the money goes towards supporting the scene It's quite common place for players/casters to have a subscription option on twitch tv (which isn't an option for us), and we feel we have much more to give back in terms of entertainment, competition and rewards. Subscribers are also another way we can potentially market ourselves to prospective sponsors, which in turn will result in further growth.

We also provided supporters with bonuses such as event replay packs, and chance to win 1 hour of coaching from top tier players.

If you are interested, you can subscribe here.

OSC Sponsors!
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 Oseanic StarCraft 2 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!
