What’s this all about :
SC2 players who have known me from my SC2SEA roots will know that I love creating and organising tournaments as part of my SC2 passion. For a sneak peek at what I did last year, you can check it out here : The Solstice Series 2017
The idea behind the 1v1 16-player invitational tournament I have organised is to find passionate and competitive SC2 players with good sportsmanship who for example, may not had made it to the WCS top 50 standings (2018) BUT who are known to be a force to be reckoned with whether in the various online tournaments, show matches and even amongst themselves and create a platform for them to compete in.
The 2v2 scene is fiercely competitive as well, but does not get enough world stage recognition. The 2v2 Open tournament, is about creating an opportunity for all players who are keen with this format and showing their strategies and creativity in a competitive setting.
Details for each of the 2 tournaments are stated below. Please show your support for the 1v1 players and consider signing up for the 2v2 tournament.

Other important information :
• Please read the rules in the bracket link. Any updates will be on the bracket link.
• Sign up as [player1name]/[player2name]. 3 different examples of how to register your teams are shown in the brackets. You may include a 3rd member of the team as a sub BUT the sub card can only be used once during the tournament and its effects are irreversible. PM 3rd player as sub to Nemesis before start of tournament to include.
• All team details must be confirmed 1 hour before the tournament starts. Check-ins begin 1 hour before start of tournament as well.
• Good sportsmanship is expected during the tournament. This includes being honest from the start about who you are. Intentionally hiding identities behind new/alternate accounts to hide identities or BM is subject to warning and/or disqualification from the tournament depending on the severity and at the discretion by the admins.
• Manner mules, nexus or hatcheries, dancing units etc will not be considered as severe BM but is not encouraged. If anything, you will probably release supersaiyan powers from the opposing team who will be even more determined to crush you. (You get the idea anyways)
