Nice initiative guys! Bring backs though WoL Beta memories.

If you are short on players, some of the SEA players are smashing HotS if that is of any interest (watched deth beat Thorzain last night!)

Good to see you both back in full swing - hope this is a sign of things for the future!

Gogo Whitera, Catz, and Destiny!

I'll be watching the hell out of this; it'll be interesting to see how the people that have put in the time for the beta, sacrificing WOL play, pull it together.

Thanks Pain and HD!

I like the idea of a just for fun beta, but offering prize money for a game that isn't competitively furnished seems...weird



The players are putting in time and effort, and we just feel like they should be rewarded for playing at such a high level

Money can't hurt right?


Definitely exciting! I was asking last week about who would hold first HotS tourney, so i'm glad the announcement came so quick.

Just speculating, because the prize pool is a fair amount, doesn't it give some players the incentive to just stick to tried and true WoL builds in some/potentially many of the games to win?

I'm sure the players understand and respect that it is a HotS tourney and play it like one, but that possibility does exist no?

Also any rules regarding disabling autosplit/automine at the start of the game or any of the other new options?

There is also the possibility of someone using a WoL build and just getting smashed by some new HotS build. Especially anything that relies upon early aggression against toss or heavy econ against terran with the new mothership core and the popularity of warhound rushes.

Very fun! Glad to see this - I need my HOTS action since I can't satisfy myself with playing it =(.

Title is funny - when i read the title, i was really confused =P

And the HDH relationship was confirmed for being permanently destroyed. ;;

It's ok though, PainUser and HD are practically a marry couple. They bring each other McNuggets and beer! A total bro and a really chill guy.

I really appreciate the Bo3 and Bo5 format.

I think it's universally agreed that Bo7's can get a little boring, especially when someone has a massive advantage.

And the nice small map pool and map veto, though I wish we had better maps to choose from.
