This year, the event expands into an inclusive cross-regional community tournament, welcoming teams from Indonesia, Malaysia/Singapore, the Philippines, and Thailand. Compete for your region, win rewards, and fight for a chance to join creators in the ultimate SEA community showmatch.
The competition kicks off in phase one with Proving Grounds on February 11-15, where teams battle it out for a $3,500 USD prize pool. From there, each region’s top team will advance to Rally Day on February 22, teaming up with creators from their own region to fight other community-creator teams.
