Community Fun-Day

It's been an awesome year for the Oseanic StarCraft 2 Championship Series and the SEA region. We've seen many great games, players do well in WCS, travel and stay abroad, $ bounties, inclusion of Chinese players into our scene, and a lot of fun tournaments. Partnered tournaments have given away $26191 combined prizepool! There's been 154 completed tournaments, and 358 individual players with points earned. The competition for points has been intense, and it's all been building up to our end of year OSC regional finals!

To celebrete the end of the season, we will be running a special community fun day featuring several SEA pro players and personalities. From 4pm AEDT on Saturday 13 Dec - 3am Monday we will be streaming their ladder sessions, free coaching, community custom games/monobattles/arcade/lotv mod stuff, Q&A, show matches, etc.

Time slots will be confirmed a bit closer to the day, but so far those who have volunteered to stream are:
Petraeus Blysk Frustration, Deth, Soundwave, Insano, mGGNemesis, Elusory, Metalcore + Maynarde.
Community Fun Day RvR will be Satuday 8pm
[mGG] Funday 3 : FFA will be Sunday 4pm
Legacy of the Void Mod Invitational $ will be Sunday 7pm
You can use your own stream channels.
http://www.twitch.tv/sc2sea will also be running and use host mode to support the players/events.

Pt.2 Fundraiser to boost Grand Finale Prizepool

Second reason for running this fun day is we're hoping the community can chip in towards the prizepool. All money goes to the players. We want to make this as big as possible, and a true reflection on the years season. All top 32 players will be paid! Several of the SEA pro's will be taking time out of their day, schedule, and potential earnings to give back to the community. While not a requirement, we are hoping some of those who can spare a few dollars will give back to these guys. A spare $10, $20 all adds up! In addition any donation of $25 AUD or more will have exclusive access to all replays from the seasons finals. Donations are open now, and will close on Dec 16th.




We hope you will tune in sometime throughout the weekend, join us for some games, and show your support to the players, this tournament, and our scene. Most of all, have some fun watching sc2!

Any ideas for activities/games for the day are also welcomed.

Oseanic StarCraft 2 Championship Series



The Oseanic StarCraft 2 Championship Series (OSC). The Oseanic StarCraft 2 Championship Series (OSC) is the Oceanic, South East Asian and Chinese regional championship, which follows a yearly season format, where players earn points for placing in all partnered tournaments. (Only around the top 10-25% gain points from each tournament). The top 32 players ranked via the OSC Player Leader board at the end of the season are then invited to play in the 2 day minimum $3000+ 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

Still looking to fill a lot of time Saturday evening/night and Sunday afternoon. If interested, please let us know

Eddie, I tried to send a few minerals to the showmatch proposed by Insano, but used the Donate button which apparently was not the right one. I thought it all went to the same fund and then distributed accordingly.

The Legacy of the Void Mod Invitational already has a set prizepool of $50 which is pretty cool! Did you mean to add to that?

That mini tournament is part of a larger day, in the hopes of boosting our Grand Finale tournament.

We are also doing a fun RvR tourny, FFA tourny, and some SEA pros and personalities will be streaming towards this cause.

Did you want a refund on that donation?

[SSfp_Saulo]

Yes, the Legacy of the Void crowdfunding. Ths thread from Insano here: http://www.sc2sea.com/showthread.php?t=8865

Don't need a refund, maybe it can be transferred to the right account?
I just blindingly clicked the big yellow Donate button on his thread, hehe.

Yeah no worries, can be transferred and added to the LOTV prizepool.

I've just made a donation to Dragon during his stream and asked him to check OSC tournament's page and stuff with everybody watching, lol. Advertisement rulez.

*** UPDATING:
Dragon just opened the OSC Finals page with his stream live (had around 900 viewers at the time). I saved the desktop video with ShadowPlay (had it prepared to capture while editing a video). I will make it available in a googledrive in a few minutes.

will we get any word on how much money was raised? im very curious

[Eddie]

What a massive weekend!

First off i'd like to give massive thanks to Nemesis and Elusory who helped out so much, hosting the sc2sea stream and being active in chat.

I'd also like to give a big thanks to Metalcore who did something like 11-12 hours streaming, and Insano who'd be in that same ballpark, and who additionally ran the LOTV tournament, which was the highlight of the weekend!

Thanks also to all those who donated! Money will be added to the prizepool.

Thanks to everyone else who streamed, watched, joined in the fun and games!

Donations from the weekend didn't quite hit the target we had in mind.

There's a few reasons for this. Quite a few of our 'big name' players didn't help out for various reasons (which is disappointing. They have the most to gain by helping), so we didn't quite have the viewer drawing power. Additionally, no one attached themselves to the TL live event, so it only showed the sc2sea stream, which as it was hosting, only showed the people on the sc2sea channel, not whoever was streaming, eg Insano had 200+ for LOTV tournament, but TL only displayed sc2sea as having 13.

However we did have people donate before our fun day weekend, so that added to the funds raised comes to a nice total

Before weekend: $375
Weekend: $277
Total: $652

It wasn't just about the money though, hopefully everyone had plenty of fun.

Thanks again! Next weekends two day OSC Grand Finale is going to be awesome, see you then!

The games were early in the morning here, so I woke up and tuned in while having breakfast. :P
Both were quite fun, thanks a lot to the players for providing entertainment.
