scarlett would be super funny at an event like this. ^^

Stephano has confirmed he will be attending HSC! So I am guessing that Paris purple dot is Stephano's ESWC 2011 win!

Super stoked that Stephano will be featured this time. He has said he really wanted to go last time, but instead chose to attend WCS France, a decision which did work out well for him. However he will be able to experience this one. Stephano has done well in the last 2 Take tournaments he has participated in, winning the Take TV Reloaded Invitational and coming second in the Stim to the Win tournament. We'll see if he can keep this impressive record going in HSC VI!

Looking forward to HSC VI! Take always hosts excellent tournaments...


Considering the above, this almost confirms that the dots refer to major tournament wins. So Bling looks likely due to winning Insomnia in Telford and Huk too because he won MLG in Orlando. Also Lucifron won the Gathering that took place in Hamar, Norway, so that is the Orange dot. I am guessing the Stockholm dot is Thorzain because these dots seem to be first (or early) LAN wins, and Thorzain won Dreamhack Stockholm. I think the Red dot is St Petersburg and Brat_OK comes to mind as a Russian player who has achieved success in Russian LANS there.



Continuing from above, the Yellow dot is definitely Belarus which probably means Lowely. The distance given is off by some way though, so maybe it is supposed to represent somewhere closer, like Poland? If they meant Poland, then Nerchio or Mana or Tarson comes to mind. Nerchio won the last HSC and Tarson always seems to go to HSC. Then again the Polish contingent were very funny last time with their Polish flag markers!

The Green dot is Helsinki, which implies a Finnish player such as Elfi or Naama or Welmu. Welmu won WCG Finland last year. Another alternative is Dimaga, as his first major LAN win was in Assembly Summer 2011, held in Helsinki.

The White dot seems to be Frankfurt, but this does not really indicate an obvious player to me. Maybe a German player who comes from there? Unless they messed up the colour scheme on the map and they mean somewhere in Holland, which would imply Ret or Grubby.

The dot in the UK maybe for TLO? He won the Pokeridol tournament in London.

First tried to find the citys:

Yellow: Vilnius (Lithuania) or Minsk (Belarus) => Who else than Lowely?
Blue: Stockholm (Sweden) 100%, could be a lot of guys, since Dreamhack is based there
Pink: Nottingham (England) seems likely for Demuslim, but there are a lot of other cities, especially Bling could be expected back
Green: Helsinki (Finland), I rather expect this to be related to ASUS ROG than a finish player, former winners: Ret, Dimaga, Polt, Taeja, guessing Dimaga
Orange: Oslo (Norway), The Gathering takes place here, former winners: Sjow, Lucifron; but actually it could just be Targa/Snute who both went to the Acer Starcraft Challenge in Berlin organized by Take
Red: St.Petersburg(Russia), some Russian who lives there (Happy? sLivko? BratOK? TitaN?)
Violet: Paris (France), could be a lot of players, except Stephano (from Marseille, too obv), IronSquid and ESWC happened there, guessing Mana as recent ESWC winner
White: I think this is actually the grey point since the white is bigger, so it should be Frankfurt/Wiesbaden/Mainz, any event that happened there?
Teal: Orlando (USA), obv MLG, Huk won this event and was also born there, pretty sure its Huk

Not much to add, just a few corrections.

YELLOW: It's almost certainly [image loading] Warsaw, Poland. They goofed a bit on the map, the dot IS in the Vilnius/Minsk area (which would mean LoWeLy or Krr) but the distances don't add up. Warsaw is almost exactly 1100km away.
BLUE: Definitely se Stockholm, Sweden. But Dreamhack is in Jönköping, a different city in the center of the country. Stockholm may mean ThorZaIN, who won the event there in 2012, or MC, who won the event there in 2011. Or somewhere else!
PINK: Really confusing. I'm finding Nottingham to be too close, but Sheffield is too far. Either way, it seems fair to say it's someone who is from the uk UK; either DeMusliM or Ziktomini. JonnyREcco is not likely, since he's Scottish.
GREEN: fi Helsinki, Finland for sure. You're completely right on this. Either Assembly Winner of some kind, or a Finnish player.
ORANGE: It's actually not Oslo, (which would mean Snute, I believe) but it's no Hamar, Norway, which is actually the placer where The Gathering happens. LucifroN seems likely. SjoW is an unlikely invite.
RED: Yep, it's [image loading] St. Petersburg. Dunno who lives there though.
VIOLET: Another obvious one. fr Paris, France. No disagreements with your analysis.
GREY: Again you're right. These are pretty easy. de Frankfurt, Germany. No idea who is from there, but ought to be a German player since international events don't happen there.
TEAL: Somewhere in us Florida, USA, but again, I think they may have their numbers wrong, because Orlando is too close, Tampa and Miami are too far. But the MLG connection is quite possible, yeah. Otherwise, it's Sheth



Nice map analysis from tree.hugger.
About Warsaw, it could also be someone from the Ministry of Win house : MorroW, LiveZerg, Ret, TargA, TitaN or even desRow or Destiny. I think Ret, TitaN and TargA are the most probable invites.

About Paris, if it's not Stephano (who is from Toulouse by the way, about 800km souther), it's probably a tournament winner since no top tier player is from Paris. We have Adelscott but he's not really top tier anymore even if he took second place in WCG finals. So a tournament winner in Paris, either MMA from Iron Squid, Mana fro ESWC 2012. Don't forget that Stephano won ESWC 2011 and WCS France in Paris though.

It ain't over till it's over

While the spot looks like nottingham or sheffield, the distance ties in perfectly with Telford (location of insomnia lans) which is almost exactly 800km away from krefeld on google maps, depending on the route taken. That strongly suggests BlinG (winner of prev), not to mention he's an obv invite anyway due to his amazing drunken looping louie antics
By.Sun or By.Rain, he always delivers

If I remeber correctly, TaKe gave a hint yesterday on his stream (German stream for IEM Poland Quali) that the TEAL dot does NOT refer to a birthplace.

I think we won't see many zergs invited as they'll probably catch up in numbers with qualifiers.
