Introducing OSC Challenge Matches!

Challenge Matches are a new way to earn OSC Points, settle rivalries, get revenge on the guy who knocked you out of a recent tourney, is bm on ladder/forums, etc. It also presents a new way to leapfrog someone up the ranks, earn yourself more points by taking away an opponents, scoring those vital points which count towards the current seasons rankings, and the $5000+ finals series. You pick the reason to call a challenge, if you need one, regardless, the goal is to take his/her points! So send out a challenge!

We've seen many showmatches over the years. Everyone has players they consider a rival/peers; great example is the real Pet vs fake Pet saga between Petraeus + Petrify. Really added to the excitement of ACL Melb, and recent tournaments. All in good fun.

These type of matches are always entertaining! However not everyone wants to/can put up $'s to make it appealing to the other player, and can be an easy reason to decline. Since OSC points basically represent how much $/tournament points you've earned/are worth in each OSC season, we thought, why not give players a chance to do something extra with them!

If you're interested in participating in a OSC challenge, you may select any player from the current OSC rankings with 15+ points. However, please note, the challenges must be somewhat balanced, eg a GPD player shouldn't be able to challenge a top GM without exceptional reasons, and would require an admins approval to go ahead. The idea is to verse a rival, so that person should be somewhat close in skill/league proximity to yourself. This also acts to prevent any OSC point 'donations'/giving points away cheaply.

To setup a challenge, contact your rival, arrange a bet total, eg 20 points each, and arrange a showmatch! Contact Eddie or one of the other OSC admins to confirm once all is sorted.

Minimum points a challenge must start at is 15 each, Max 100*. Winner takes all!
*Max can be extended towards the end of the season (150)

If both players agree they may then face off in a best of 5 or 7 series for the OSC points

Games must be set at a time that works for both, and doesn't conflict with any OSC tournaments.

Ideally the series should be streamed, however if can't be arranged, replays must either be uploaded to sc2sea or emailed to Eddie.

Challenges can be announced publicly or done privately.

You can turn down any challenge with no repercussion/change to your season points. However no guts, no glory!

We will donate bonus 15 points to winner of any best of 5 streamed match, and 25 points towards any best of 7 streamed match.
