Samsung Electronics presents the Odyssey Cup Counter-Strike 2 Championship, uniting gamers across Southeast Asia and Oceania for an electrifying experience that captivates players and spectators alike.
Building on the Odyssey Cup Legacy
First launched in 2023, the Odyssey Cup has established itself as a highlight in the region’s esports calendar. From the Odyssey Cup Influencer Invitational in 2023, to the Odyssey Cup Dota 2 Championship in 2024, Samsung remains steadfast in providing a platform for gaming enthusiasts and aspiring champions to shine.
Designed as a multi-stage competition, the 2025 Odyssey Cup will see participating markets —Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam—crown their own champions during the national qualifiers from 31 October to 23 November, before advancing their winning teams to the regional stage.
The winning teams will subsequently enter a group draw to determine match-ups for the exciting grand finale, which will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 12 to 14 December, where they will compete for the regional championship title and an attractive US$50,000 prize pool.
