One of the longest running franchises in esports is turning 100!
Started in Feb 2011, the OSC Masters Cup is a SC2 tournament run by members of the SEA community as a platform for players within the region to practice against each other in a competitive format, as well as global challenge versions to test vs the worlds best! There have been changes to format, eligibility, and frequency over the years (now twice monthly + global), but it has always remained a constant staple of SC2, particularly in SEA, and a prestigious event to win!
To celebrate #100, we will be running a $1000+ USD extended edition!
Open to all players!
Qualifiers + Invites > Groups > Playoffs.
YOU can add $1 to the prizepool for FREE with coupon code: MC100
(awaiting coupons to go live)
WardiTv will be the primary stream bringing you coverage of this special event.

We've made it to 100! What a journey! Approaching 7 years! This is where it all began for me. Running 3 GPD (Gold, Platinum + Diamond) events each Sunday, into a Masters Cup finale on the 4th Sunday. Back in the days before we had multiple regular weekly events in SEA/globally. From these humble beginnings and once a week of SC2, i've worked with many great people, made countless friends, and have been a part of what we as a community have now built up/the place we are at now, with the OSC putting on daily events, and myself working on SC2 every day.
Shoutouts to some of the past admins XanT, Rhuubarb and Namakaye, and big supporters at various stages of the events run, Bryan Choo from sc2sea, Chris Smith (formally ttesports) and the Blizzard ANZ team. I'm really proud to have kept this event running without fail, see it as one of the key foundations of what we have today, and a continued part of what we are building towards at OSC. Here's to another 100!
