You are right... The lapdance with darkforce will be never forgotten.. btw I was the guy, that provided one bottle Jim Beam on this stream ;D And Rotterdam was sleeping naked in Takes bathtub that night
Regarded to past events, this one is really professional 
I like it... it shows that everybody of them is like other young people to.. They are playing Starcraft, having fun, doing more or less funny things and have some drinks...
Thats way better then a NASL finale with a red carpet, without a cheering crowd and a static enviroment... HSC is 50% entertaining 50% SC2

Well I'm following Take since mid 2010, when SC2 was released and nobody... really nobody in person did so much for eSport than him... He and his crew organize all the stuff by themselfs... Take TV is no big organisation like NASL, GSL or MLG... Its just Take with his crew who works free of charge... Finally he he get paied off with viewer counts over 60k+ in peak... Sadly.. near nobody seems to be buying premium and supporting such an event like this.. In peak they were 3500 viewers combined on both premium streams... You get 4 days nonstop entertainment, for what.. 5 EUR? If you go to cinema, you spend 10 EUR and have 2 hours fun... It makes me really bit sad... I think such a production needs to be supported to have more epic events like this in future...
I agree it would have been nice if more people bought the HD pass but 3500 isn't too bad. At the very least it covers the prize pool so the money brought in by ads is all money in the bank.

TaKe, asked Mr. Bitter if he wanted to wrap up the show knowing it was getting out of hand, however he ended up doing it himself anyway. Also something was said which I missed, which Mr. Bitter said "wow, that was huge, lets wrap up the show for tonight before things get worse" I'm paraphrasing, but I think it was something like that.
I feel like TaKe and Mr. Bitter were put in a ugly spot that they didn't deserve to be in. U didn't really watch alle the HSC's i guess. It was always like this. And Take really doesn't mind that stuff, believe me, he has fun as everybody else. Do u even know how the HSC started? They got the random idea during streaming a cup (GO4SC2 i believe), to make a cup at Take's (old) flat (50 squaremetres or smth) and get even a female stripper to that event, but they didn't had the money and suddenly the community donated money to make it happen and that was how it came to pass. There u would have also been embarassed how they can put Darkforce on a chair with a stripper dancing around (and that did really happen)
I've followed Take's events since day one, but just because something was done a certain way in the beginning doesn't mean that it's going to stay that way forever. Once you have a fuckton of legit sponsors you might want to think twice about having drunk casters and strippers around, i'm pretty sure Take knows this, which is why the wrapup was a bit awkward.
I've said it before and i'll say it again, i absolutely love HSC because of the friendly/chill environment, but i'd hate to see it get out of hand with drunken ramblings and awkward situations such as this, it's still a SC2 tournament above all else, even though it's a very relaxed one at that.

Im sure his sponsors are very proud he is representing them right now.

I'm kind of disappointed in Destiny's appearance. Except from like two (awesome) casts, he just played poker and didn't really do anything else. Was hoping he would do more stuff and somehow be more around.

I do not get how people are bothered when the last 10 minutes of an 9 hour tournament are a bit silly... you pretend they were only drunk the whole time.

Some people need to just relax, jesus!
Anyway, my predictions:
Ro4: MKP, MC, JYP, Sound

No it didnt. The Stripper show wasnt a homestory cup

How do you know?

@red4ce
But you have to count out the people who already have ESL Premium... thats the problem... I think Take only get some money from the people who especially bought the HD pass for this event
And yes the lapdance show wasnt a HSC

I feel like this is the point of HSC, you get to see the person behind the player, combined with awesome production and high level games. If anyone has ever followed HSC from the start, people being drunk/goofy on stream is nothing new and to be expected. HSC doesn't market themselves as a professional tournament and they are very open with what's going on there, you either like it or you don't, but how people are surprised/calling it unprofessional is beyond me. Just don't watch then. Exactly. We are all caught up in emotions and we like to share them. HSC is not about dry analytical stuff, but love for esports and the personalities behind the curtain. I also don´t understand why some people always want to see something professional in every thing they see or want to see. Some people just can´t lay back and enjoy life as it is, with all it´s great moments and emotions. I love HSC and I´ve watched every single one since HSC I and it always was something special. We enjoy the relaxed feel of the tournament with pro gamers casting the games etc.. but when you have drunks making things very awkward it, it doesn't go off very well to the spectators..

I'm pretty sure that Take and Mr. Bitter weren't embarrassed. In my opinion all of them were having fun (including Take and MrBitter). You definitely read too much into it, which makes it more embarrassing than any situation at HSC.

You're sure? Based on what evidence? Did they pull their sponsorships? Release a statement saying they don't condone alcohol or funny behavior? You're either a troll or a nutjob

Nothing happened. Rotti made a joke and some people got offended on Bitter's behalf.
