The first Odyssey Cup, an esports virtual event that aspires to excite enthusiastic gamers throughout the industry, is proudly brought to Southeast Asia by Samsung Electronics. The goal of this online competition is to offer professional players, influencers, and most importantly, the community, a comprehensive gaming and competitive experience.
The Odyssey Cup, which features Samsung’s wide selection of gaming monitors, is designed to satisfy and rejuvenate a wide range of gamers, from die-hard fans to casual players.
As a starting step towards this aim, the Odyssey Cup pledges to improve Southeast Asia’s esports content environment with locally relevant, participatory, and entertaining influencer live broadcasts. The Odyssey Cup will take place throughout six countries—Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam—and will use the game title Valorant in an influencer-fan competition structure. With a $10,000 total prize fund, the competition hopes to boost esports development in the area and stimulate interest in gaming.
“Our goal is to create an environment where professionals, fans and the community can come together to celebrate their shared passion for gaming,” said Leslie Goh, Head of Regional Display Solutions, Samsung Southeast Asia & Oceania. We are well-poised to do so with the cutting-edge technology that Samsung Odyssey gaming monitors offer.”
Samsung is committed to delivering the ultimate gaming experience with its latest gaming monitors: the Odyssey Neo G9 which was awarded the CES 2023 Best of Innovation Award and Odyssey OLED G9 for CES 2023 Innovation Award.
While Samsung’s first DQ OLED in a 49-inch curved screen with AI upscaling and an astonishingly quick gray-to-gray (GtG) reaction time of 0.03 ms is the Odyssey OLED G9, the Odyssey Neo G9 is a dual UHD 57″ curved wide screen gaming monitor that offers amazing images and quick response times. For both casual and serious players, these displays promise to deliver amazing performance and graphics.
Each of the eight influencers from each nation will serve as the face of the Odyssey Cup, contributing their expertise in shoutcasting, analysis, and competitive plays to Valorant. See www.odysseycup.gg for the complete lineup of influencers and tournament information.
