These 5 champions will be joined by 11 OSC Elite Rewards Club members to compete for $1500 USD + attempt to lock in a top seed for our 8th annual championship.

For Super Series Season 3 (August-December), we shall be rotating in/out a couple of events:

IN:

eXoN Cup Opens

The eXon Opens are organised and run by Team eXoN and Tantalizing Tarariums.

A new tournament created in 2020, the $50 cup has been running for 6 editions so far, and has averaged an impressive 28 signups (in a difficult timeslot) in that time.

We’re happy to see not only it’s introducition into the Super Series, but also that the event will be changing from BiWeekly to Weekly from cup #7 onwards/start of Super Series season 3!

It’s an event the NA community really seems to be rallying their support towards, and we’re excited to see that continue as part of the Super Series!

Cock of the Walk

The COTW is a weekly tournmaent hosted by popular streamer + commentator Chickenman!

The weekly has been running for 24 editions so far, with a $35 prizepool on offer!

We’re happy to see not only it’s introducition into the Super Series, but also that the weeklies prizepool shall be increasing from cup #25 onwards/start of Super Series season 3, to $50!!

OUT:
Masters Cup

The Masters Cup franchise is not only one the of longest running regular SC2 events, but also one of the longest running in all of competitive esports, so despite being rotated out of the Super Series, rest assured, the Masters Cups won’t be going anywhere! We shall be returing the Masters Cup to an extended format which has proven popular in the past: Bo2 groups > Playoffs, played out over 5-6 weeks. 50% of participants will cash!

With the addition of one extra series + weekly pathway into the 16 player Mid Season Playoff bracket, 1 OSC Elite Rewards Club member seed will be reduced:
2 Qualifiers, Top 3 of each advance (6)
Top 3 members remaining from the World Rankings invited (3)
1 Random Draw, winner invited (1)

Super Series Season 3 starts with eXoN Cup Open #7 (August 26th 9pm EDT /27th 10am KST)

We will also continue to run a monthly OSC Elite Rewards Club Open Qualifier (6 month membership prize) for SC2 players, open to all non members, or current members whose memberships are expiring in less than 2 months. We will mix up when these qualifiers run, to accomadate all player regions.

As always we value your feedback throughout the year. Please reach out to League Management or your Regional Player Representatives to let us know how you feel the Super Series is working in 2020.

GLHF!
