March - April 2023
ISA Inter-School eSports Tournament
Organised by MaGIC, the Gaming Interest Community of the Magnus Society, Cempaka International School, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Organiser/s:
Objective
To foster connections and strengthen ties with other international schools and to introduce esports into the international inter-school competitive scene.
Overview
The Magnus Society of Cempaka International School, Kuala Lumpur – the host school, is privileged to host the very first International Gaming Tournament among ISA (International School Association) members of the world. In consideration of logistics and organisational experience, the game selected for the tournament is Valorant.
The entirety of the tournament will be hosted online.
Additionally, the organisers hope to invite a professional esports team from Southeast Asia, (PaperRex) to come and give a talk about professional gaming to aspiring gamers.
Communication Platform
Communications with and amongst participants will take place on a dedicated Discord server, with privacy features for team and moderator communications.
MaGIC and Magnus organisers may communicate within the existing Magnus Projects server.
Participation Criteria
Each individual school will have their own way to pick the players as we do not have jurisdiction to control the method. However, it is preferred for said school to host a tryout by asking students to organise a 5 man team with 1 (minimum, 2 maximum) reserve player, then place them in matches and see who wins. (This method will be used for Cempaka).
Organisation
For logistical purposes, the Magnus Master Plan will be used to organise the foundations of the tournaments. For scoring and tournament planning (team placements), we will use 3rd party websites.
Streaming
The tournament will be streamed to the Magnus Society’s public YouTube Channel >>

- Teams join the tournament Discord server, attend briefings on the tournament prior to the actual event.
Global Tournament Logistics
The organisers have taken the following into consideration:
- If a school is too far outside the host school’s time zone, or is too far away from the host school’s nearest server to have an adequate ping for a fair game, the host school will suggest that other schools in the different regions host the same tournament together to ensure fairness.
- The co-hosting schools will run the tournaments to the same expected timeline to ensure the event remains truly global.
- Co-hosting schools will still receive support from the host school with guidance, training and resources (such as Discord server templates, documentation and certificate designs), as required.
