Predictions, anyone?
I'm thinking,
Group A: Nightend + SaSe: Sase's been playing well lately, and Nightend is generally solid. Jinro has been struggling, and MoMan seems a little out of his league.
Group B: Thorzain + HasuObs: TSL3 champion still sounds good to me, especially in this group. Of the rest, I suppose I just see Hasu as the least likely to screw up.
Group C: IdrA + ClouD: Idra is something of a no-brainer, while I am giving cloud the nod not for being especially good, necessarily, but because his competition isn't very impressive.
Group D: Ret + Socke: Both were looking good at Dreamhack, and while Adel and Jimpo are both GOOD, neither of them are particularly scary.
Group E: MC + DeMuslim: MC is MC. Aside from that, DeMuslim hasn't really been on the top of his game since his injury, but XlorD is not really top-tier, and Tyler... I want to believe, but...
Group F: Huk + Stephano: Can't expect Huk to bomb out of this middling group after winning dreamhack. Otherwise, Stephano just... well honestly, he has the best record of the other three, so
Group G: Naniwa + Dimaga: Bischu and Tarson are good. Naniwa and Dimaga are great. It's not a sure thing but, I'd say they're obvious favourites.
Group H: WhiteRa + White Ra: Special tactics will win him both first and second place in this group.
Well that was fun!

Hahaha, oh my, Waxangel never fails to deliver :D:D ♥♥

Careful guys, because with the pub (and demuslim  ) + IdrA and Huk/MC when you say fighting, it might actually be Fighting

This is sick, will be watching the stream for sure. :D
Btw, great job on the writeup. 200 m² ^^ - and btw - he is not some kind of aristocrate (for those who took the nice article by word) just aa ESL-caster who's enjoying his job and found great sponsores + private investment from his job @ esl. For those who didnt' -> watch some parts of HSC 1&2 to get the feeling for the most awesome events ever ^^
it's more fun to pretend that he's Baron Take von Esports and he's entertaining his costly hobby with his vast fortune.

The art at the top says 23-36 June. I assuming since later on in the post the dates are the 23-26 I'm assuming its just a typo. Didnt see anyone else mention it yet.

Any idea who this guy TaKe is ? Pretty hard to google with a name like that :s
Wc3 Progamer way back in then day, did a lot of stuff for ESL over the years, moderation/casting for ESL and got a full time job there some time ago. With the release of SC2 he's really done a ton of stuff for the german and international SC2 community.

Hahahahaha, somebody get Take a monocle and a walking cane ^^
Are really all the players gonna be present? In the past there where always some player playing from home. This is going to be so awesome and sad at the same time, because beeing there in person would be just too much epicness.

This is going to be legendary. Premium pass bought!
|
going to krefeld tomorrow, going to leave the pub sunday night/monday morning.
best plan i ever had.
|
awwwww yeah i cannot wait for it to see all the players hanging out in the pub and grab a beer with them! :D
take you're the man for making this happen again! thank you sooooooo much <3

I didn't know this Homestory cup existed! seems like extremely fun. Also i like the fact that it works like the 18th and 19th century art gatherings, with a noble patron who supported said art. In this case, SC2 is the art :D actually Take took pretty big depts to bring us this event so I hope a lot of people will pay the puny 3-4€ for the HD stream so he can do this again for us Depts? Or Debts? If its the latter then is kind of a risky investment...at least TL made this post so more people will know about it and the chances that HD passes will be bought are higher but still...the guy must really like SC GL HF to all the players and a big thank you to our host 
I dont remember (or know) the exact numbers, but it was something like the whole thing (with new apartment, renovation, equip...) put him 20k € in debt (or it was "only" 16k. pretty sure it's one of those 2)
Edited: Checked some logs (from chat with friends) -
50k invested. 25k savings. 20k loaned.

After a particularly egregious loss to a cheese rush, Idra heads to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water. As he hunches over the sink, droplets of water falling off his face, he feels an arm coming to rest along his shoulders. Idra looks up. It's MC.
"Are you angry?"
lol. I really hope this happens.
