WCS Oceania and South East Asia Challenger 2018

Blizzard Entertainment

2017 brought some memorable StarCraft action to the Oceania / South East Asia region. We witnessed champions such as Sean “Probe” Kempen knocking at the door of WCS finals qualification. We saw fresh faces such as Sheldon “Seither” Barrow compete on the international stage alongside veterans such as Ethan “Iaguz” Zugai . In the lead up to WCS 2018, a new Terran hope emerges in the form of Nick “HuT” Hutton who impressed with a dominant WESG qualifier performance. For those who missed it, here is a quick recap of the WCS Challenger ANZ Season 4 finals.

We’re now kicking off 2018 with a bang. The StarCraft II WCS Challenger Leipzig Qualifiers for Oceania and South East Asia will take place on 6 and 7 January 2018.

Players will compete online for a fantastic $10,000 AUD prize pool. The top 2 finishers will qualify for WCS Leipzig on the 26 January 2018.

Day 1 will be an Open Qualifier. We encourage anyone who may have aspirations of becoming an esports professional in one of the most challenging and rewarding of games to sign up here – https://play.eslgaming.com/starcraft/global/sc2/major/wcs/wcs-australia-new-zealand.
