Hey Everybody! This is HD, and I'm making this thread to announce my upcoming 16 player invitational tournament: The HD World Tournament. This tournament will feature some of the best players in the world, and all games will be uploaded and featured via my Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/HDstarcraft

The Map Pool:

Players are allowed to thumbs down one map in advance. Loser picks next map.
All games are best of 3, except semis/3rd place which are best of 5, and finals which are best of 7

Crossfire* GSL version
Terminus* GSL Version
Crevasse* GSL Version
Tal'Darim Altar* GSL Version
Shattered Temple
Iccup Testbug
Shakuras Plateau

Round of 16 begins on Tal'Darim Altar




The Tournament is scheduled to start within the next week, and is expected to conclude by the end of March. (Expected to last about a week) As most of you guys know, HDH2 was put on indefinite hold due to legality and other issues, so I decided to go ahead and organize a smaller tournament. Obviously the list of invited players is not yet completed, so if any accomplished/high profile players are interested in participating in this tournament, please reply to this post!

Much thanks to the Sponsors!

Prize pool seems a bit low for this (just my opinion, since both sponsors are pretty big in the gaming industry).

Also, is there any additional information? I assume the matches will be streamed on justin.tv, but all you mention in the op is your Youtube channel. Also, any info on map pool or tournament format?

I feel there should be a bit more information if it's going to start within a week ~_~

The map pool has been added. As far as broadcasts go, all games will be going up via youtube. I am still determining whether or not I can do Justin TV for the semis/finals (working on some hardware)

Wow on second thought, what a stupid nonsense post by me. I'm not sure why I even wrote that, it's a fairly solid list and apparently I failed to read the op properly. :/ That was totally just the swedish fanboy in me speaking.

I'm going to follow this for sure.

Very excited for this tournament. Thanks for organizing and putting this on HD. The map pool is top notch, great choices, I'm expecting great and awesome games from the invited players. Have you thought about inviting Tyler/Nony, Jinro, Moonglade, and Artosis (he said he's starting to play competitively again)? I know they were in HDH, so it would cool to see them play together again. Oh, I would like to see Huk and Haypro, too .

edit-Just saw the tyler/nony invite. Woot.

People are glossing over the fact that IGN is a highly trafficked site, so it is cool that they are taking interest in SC2 and are willing to jump in to sponsor tournaments and such.

Who knows maybe if this pays off they will consider other SC2 sponsorships.

I'm thinking that if this first tournament by HD is successful in terms of viewer count, then HD will be able to put on more and bigger tournaments. HD will have a track record with IGN and Justin tv, so they will feel more comfortable giving more money.
