*If a player confirms, but fails to show up, they won't be paid, and will be penalised 200 points from next years OSC Rankings (Bigger league + finals again in 2016). Reason for penalty is they have wasted admin and graphics teams time and resources, as well as denying another player a chance to earn money.

Sponsors for the 2015 Grand Finale

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!

[syfChadMann]

Y no nxz?

Gl hf friends. Should be a great torunament.

[syfChase]

What server will we be playing on? The idea of defending 3 rax reaper with 200 ping vs 30ping NA pros is not a welcoming prospect for chase

But then again 30 ping chase vs 200 Ping NA players does not seem fair either


we could play eu with 400 ping each? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Unless you come up with another arrangement, for ANZ/SEA Players playing NA players, games should be rotated between NA West (Seems to be the best for ANZ/SEA), and NA AU. Higher seed starts.

For ANZ/SEA players playing Europeans/Koreans, default is NA Central. More information in Rules and Regulations.
