Spotgamers proudly present, Spotgamers Weekly Online Tournament (SWOT) SEA Region for Starcraftt II! Gamers will now compete to be the best in SEA and to win from total cash pool prizes of USD300++ monthly! Best of all top 8 players will receive cash prize!
SWOT SEA Region is an initiative done by Spotgamers to spearhead the development of e-Sports in South East Asia. By creating weekly online tournament, gamers can look forward every weekend to test their skills and compete with the best and get rewarded for their good performance. SWOT aims to be the online platform for gamers to train up and gather with other gamers from all over the region.
We have included Starcraft II as our official game but we want to see at least 32 players to join our online tourney. By having 32 players we will be able to attract more sponsors in the future and ensuring that we have selected the games that deserve to get our support. Games that doesnt show a strong turn up will eventually be left out from the tourney for other deserving games.
