Who will emerge as the Southeast Asian StarCraft II Champion? Unless you plan on making a last-minute flight (or have access to a nydus network), you can simply tune in to the English livestream this Sunday, 1 September, casted by none other than Australian casters “Maynarde” and “Zepph”. It’s set to begin at 1PM but for full schedules and updates, it’s best to check the StarCraftSEA Facebook page.

If you’ll be at STGCC instead then fear not, oh StarCraft II observer – tune in using the Twitch app for both Android and iOS devices whenever you get the chance.
