2016 PRESS KIT
INTRODUCING ROG MASTERS
A brand new tournament exclusive to Asia and Oceania, ROG MASTERS is designed to be an eSports springboard for half of the world. The finalists representing the five regions – Oceania, East Asia, South East Asia, China, and Rest of Asia – are determined by week-long Qualifiers held consecutively.
This year saw 590 teams participate in the Qualifiers. The best among them will now go through to the offline event held November 10th-13th in Malaysia, with Grand Finals at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center on Saturday and Sunday.
ROG MASTERS ON STAGE
The two day Grand Final on November 12th-13th is to be hosted by the true eSports icon Paul “ReDeYe” Chaloner – host of Valve’s Dota 2 The International in 2015 and 2016, among countless others – who will be joined by a raft of well-known experts.
The cast of talent features Dota 2 legend Toby “TobiWan” Dawson and former professional CS:GO player Ian “Snyper” Turner as commentators alongside further eSports specialists and veterans.
Their mission: introducing fresh talent to the scene, and introducing the scene to the fresh talent.
