Does that mean that 2nd and 3rd place don't get flight and accomodation paid? Doesn't look very promising to many koreans then I guess, anyway good job :D
|
cool, good luck to all the players
|
Gin-san actually we pay the first in every region, ye.
Its always a budgetquestion. I am so happy that i even have the possibility to pay someone a trip : )
I hope you guys gonna play expecially the us qualifier which so far only has 80+ signups : )
//Dennis
|
take, these are always brilliant. looking forward to it.

It's already great, that they support the 1st and offer three region qualifiers! And all this with the relatively small TakeTV team, compared to the other major hitting tournaments! You guys are doing an amazing job!
Btw, gogo we need some more for the Korean (and US) qualifier!

Nvm. I imagined there being a previous announcement which said that that the top 2 players for each qualifier would get everything paid when there were still 6 qualifier slots. But It could be a mistake on my part. Anyways keep up the great work :D
|
That is awesome, I'm really looking forward to this event!!! :D
|
If this is half as awesome as HSC3 was then this will be a great event

Take is one guy theres only so much money he has to offer. I doubt there is much profit for him. I hope alot of koreans participate and hope people advertise this to the koreans because sometimes its just about exposure.
|
can someone tell me when date time check in is for NA qualifier for pacific time plz
|
This is definitely one of my favourite events. All the best with it and ill for sure be tuning in!
|
hey, dont know if this is the perfect thread to ask, but, how long will the finals be?
it starts 2 P.M. but how long?
I need to know for BarCraft Hamburg, estimated time, or does someone know, how long the final day of HSC3 was?
|
|
|
Could we please get White Ras barbeque micro casted? Looking forward to it anyways since it was such an awesome and unique event last time. Will probably watch no matter who qualifies.
|
I'll watch for sure. Got to support the unique smaller show. Was one of the most interesting tournaments of the year.
|
I want to go  . Anyways, this is always one of my favorite tournaments. Thank you very much TaKe! :D
|
No SEA qualifiers
|
Iam going to play the EU-Qualifier for sure!
|
|
|
Great! Wanna see more BBQ special taktikzzZ! :D
Definitely going to buy Premium/HD for that!

Ya that's awesome, glad to hear that you have the budget to do such things. Plus, these qualifiers look like fun! I'm so glad that you give the opportunity for less established players to earn a chance to play with the big guns, and that you're not just inviting the same old, same old.
|
cool chair! looks like the football chairs at arsenal (the bench).
|
Can we expect the same style format for the actual cup? For example: players as casters? Hopefully someone will be there to take photos throughout the event as well. This is actually one of my favorite tournaments!
|
I like Rotterdam but please, please don't let him control the camera. He moves it around 20 times per second, clicks everything he sees and makes more boxes than there are in CS.
|
I cant describe how much i'm looking forward to this, every homestyory cup has been better than the last and the first was already the best tournement I had ever seen.
make sure you get rotti pissed and keep the relaxed atmosphere which has made homestory cup such a memorable event .
also.. 3200000 DPIIIIIII
|
I love players casting other pro players. Please have a lot of this. <3

From what was posted, top 3 qualifies and top 1 gets their trip paid. So #2 and #3 will have to pay for their own flight / hotel.

Did TakeSen say 50 euros for HD pass to all the qualifiers, the main tournament, and the VODS? Thats pushing it I think...
50€ is almost a years worth of premium GSL matches...

From Take`s homepage: "For all of those who stayed at home, we will have two special HD offers. For 7.50 € you will be able to watch the qualifiers and the main event. For those of you who are too busy during the holidays to watch it all, we also offer the possibility to purchase a pass for the main event only, which will cost 5 €. So, for 7.50 €, you can sit comfortably on your couch and watch Starcraft 2 on our high quality stream." So it`s not 50€, but i didn`t saw the video.

Too bad, was hoping to see you again at an european tournement. But 2012 is long, so there will be some more opportunities

Will the qualifiers be streamed? I assume some of the matches will? Will I need to pay (if it's a whole HSC4 package, I will)?

You also have to consider it being a live event (the main event) spanning over several days and it's only the winners that get the trip paid. I think that itself limits the amount of players that signs up for the qualifiers.
|
why arent the qualifiers listed in the teamliquid event calendar ? :/
|
|
|
I really think the most fun I've ever had watching a SC2 tournament was during HSC3. Great atmosphere, awesome casting, very good games, and probably the best LR thread ever, with no balance whine or drama (aside from Rotterdam being chastised for being mean to Nightend rofl). Take definitely has my money and viewership for HSC4.
|
JUst want to drop in here and say that Homestory CUp 3 was the most enjoyable SC2 Events of the year for me. ANd the only one where I actually watched all the VODs of games I missed.
Pros casting other pros and the whole athmosphere is just too awesome
|
o.O just wanted to let you know that the US qualifiers aren't in the event calendar, if you want them there that is >.>
|
hmm it dosent let me log in everytime i try to log in into the website so i can rregister up everytime i try it says in german that i have tried to many times to log in even tough i didint try to log in for 1hour o_O help please?

Just checked in

is there a way to change the language because I can't speak german?? to signup and setup my account? T_T
|
Wait, do you have to live in NA to use the qualifier? A lot of Koreans are using it even though I don't think they're in NA.
|
all people that are not from NA region or live there are not allowed to participate, that goes for harstem, check and cArn i guess. vioLet counts as NA.
Ingame Channel: homestorycup

Wow, this site is still down. It's been an hour D:
|
still no, some official word would be nice, as its been almost an hour now... but enjoying the chat with my stream viewers atm =P
They said on-stream that the servers crashed due to overload and they're working on getting the brackets up, and they asked that people stop spam-refreshing while they work on it because the site's stressed enough as is and keeps going back down.
|
they need to upgrade something if the site already crashes at the ~100 man US qualifier
|
Site's up, brackets are blank :B
|
|
|
Why is this not on the Teamliquid front page?
|
|
|
I actually really like Rotterdam's casting. This looks awesome! I was wondering what the big deal was about this qualifier but now i know! watching ret atm !
|
where are the brackets? it says please wait
nvm, appears to be up now
|
where is our german punctuality, when we need it
|
Is the ESL Metalopolis cross-map only?

It says i signed up but not in bracket T_T

and the stream is a couch and music for almost an hour now ...
|
Yeah, I understand that they are having some problems but someone could atleast sit on the couch and entertain the stream audience. It's not like all three of them have to chill out backstage and play with their balls...
|
Come on TL please front page this.
This is like one of the main tournaments of 2012 so it's not good to miss this or not give it the appropriate attention. Or even its qualifiers.
Please don't miss this TL.

Ok so what is going to happen?

take said, that the us qualifier will postponed to tomorrow and will start after the european qualifier

This is going to be the most awesomest of the most awesomest events.
Really looking forward to this. Seems like an awesomer tourmament.

Tomorrow after the EU Qualifier (16.00 CET). Take said that he is exspecting it to start rougly at 23.00 CET! But that was only his thought on how long the EU Qualifier will take.
|
Very unfortunate that beginning of HSC IV are so bad, I hope they will be prepared for massive server spam at next qualifiers and mostly a lot of viewers on main event... It would be huge if they fail again
|
Soo.. If anyone knows what time we're playing EST I'd appreciate it

Announcement was that it starts tomorrow, saturday, 17th december 11 after the EU qualifier they think the EU qualifier will end at 11 pm CET(5pm EST, 4pm CST, 2pm PST)

Learn your timezones, just like we europeans have to do every single fucking MLG (and guess what, germany only has one of them).

Hopefully it works today, would be nice because there are so many nice players.
And I saw that there are some sick new players in the Korea qualifier like TSL_Alive, July, Bomber.
Going to be sick.

US qualifier starts at 5:00 pm EST / 4:00 pm CST see: taketv.net
|
Statement on taketv.net
Tonight, we had to reschedule the US qualifier for the HomeStoryCup due to technical problems. First of all, we would like to apologize for the inconvenience this caused for both the players and our viewers. Unfortunately, several errors added up and the situation went out of control.
It all started with a bug on the site which prevented people from checking in. And if things couldn't get any worse, this was followed by an immediate server failure. Just as we were fixing the server from a backup, it crashed again, almost in an instant, due to flooding. Finally, after more than one hour, the server was back up, but this time the grid was not legit, because a lot of people couldn't check in.
Realizing that the situation had passed the point of no return we decided to re-schedule the entire US Qualifier to
SATURDAY, DEC 17th, 2011
11:00 pm CET (5:00pm EST - 4:00pm CST)
Again, we would like to apologize to all of you for the inconvenience. We are doing our best to ensure that all other qualifiers will run flawlessly, and put on a great show for all of you.
As our apology, we would like to announce another player for the Homestory Cup: Evil Geniuses’ Puma will take part in the tournament, so you can look forward to even more high-level StarCraft II action.

Learn your timezones, just like we europeans have to do every single fucking MLG (and guess what, germany only has one of them). so an american tournament should post european times? this is the american qualifier lol Thanks for post above me He said "Yours", like American timezones. The times of this qualifier were posted in CET/PST/EST, it got delayed sadly but American times where there since the begining. the first time the cup was announced there was only cet, I msged the admins before they posted est. so no.

Really? Sigh. Does this mean I cannot play? Not that I'd have a chance at winning, still not fun at all.
|
It looks like the switch from taketv to esl has fucked the participants for the eu qualifier up, just a third competing now TT

Register at ESL and sign up and check-in. This is all u have to do to play. No premium or anything required

And from previous experience with ESL tourneys it ends with it saying "full" after the check-in period.

Nah just wait 3 min, Usual procedure at ESL for late check-in. The grid is fdor 512 and around 150 sign ups so far
|

Gogogo Homestorycup! HSC3 was perfect, I´m so happy right now. Why can´t it already be January...
|
Where can I get the bracket, please?
|
|

|

I cant wait for some special tactics!
Has Whitera won anything this year btw?
|
|
|
The US qualifier on the ESL site requires an EU account to sign up, must be a mistake? Hope it can be fixed soon.
|
An earlier and more visible note of using the ESL site instead of taketv would have been nice. I only looked at the grid on taketv so I didn't notice I had to sign in via ESL.

when i clicked on the Cup Section on the Take TV Site there was all the information about Signing up on the ESL Site?
|
there's no option to add a starcraft 2 na account on the esl site just the eu region

I checked-in as soon as possible at 15:30 CET but I didn't notice the change at all. So either it wasn't there at the time or I didn't pay enough attention. I'm pretty sure it wasn't there.
edit: Now you can't even access the Cup section on taketv which I could when I checked-in 30 minutes before the event.

The problem is that they didn't change the links in the OP posts
|
I registered on ESL but I haven't got the confirmation email and it's been 15min t.t I can't find a resend button can anyone enlighten me?

I contacted someone of the TakeTV crew and told him of the prob. They are aware of it now and look into it

If you hear back, could you please post the response you get in this thread =D It's affecting a fair amount of potential players t.t
|
I don't think that i will hear back, but i think in the end u just have to enter ur NA nick#Code as EU account.
This info is used by the tour system to show ur SC2 nick#code on the match page.
Else go for support via IRC(from TakeTV page)
If you have any problems or questions, visit #taketv.gaming @quakenet for support.

which if you already have one, they dont change instantly(or atleast they didnt use to, not sure atm as its been awhile). meaning that any NA player that has an EU account on ESL will have issues.
|
U are right of course, but i also didn't see a possibility to enter NA details on ESL EU page.
U should go to the IRC support and bug them

Thanks a lot from all Zergs who had to face a T in round 3.

I loved the last homestory cup, nightend casting was a highlight too.
|
Sign ups for the US qualifier should work now. I asked them about it on IRC channel and they fixed it, just signed up myself and it worked.

sign ups for the us qualifiers are working, the first 11 players signed up, gogo spread the word.

i have been waiting to be checked by an admin or something for an hour

The first post still gives the wrong link.
To sign up, do this (its pretty easy now):
How to sign up for the NA qualifier:
1.
go to http://www.esl.eu/eu/sc2/1on1/hsciv_us_qualifer/
If it says "Begin: 16:00 CEST", dont worry, the begin is 23:00 CEST, in 2 hours and 20 minutes from now
2.
Press "Sign in"
3.
you will get a message that you "have to w8 for an admin" to confirm youre an Americas citizen
4.
Some minutes later (depending on the speed of an admin) you will automatically be signed in.
5.
make sure you check in 20 minutes before the cup. The Check-in button will appear where the Sign-in button was before 20 minutes before the match. You will still have the chance to do a "late sign in" 10 minutes till 5 minutes before the cup starts and then automatically be checked in.
|
Edit: NVM thx to guy above me for that post
|
umm how do we enter our ID numbers in our profile so people can find us via when we match up? O_O
|
I've been waiting for an admin to add me to list for hours now.

You can ask an Admin there to help you

How come a lot of the mainline European players like ThorZaIN, Stephano, Mana, White-Ra etc aren't even in the qualifiers? o_O
|
well the ones who know for sure that they have an invite dont need to play I guess
|
Its pretty safe that players such as thorzain, stephano, mana and whitera will be there as well.
|
Stephano returned to Europe to participate in this cup
|
I have a question... well TaKe said that Dimaga has a invite and plays the tournament for flight and stuff.
Are DarkHydra and Adelscott both qualified now?
|
Hey, what's up with Mr. Bitter. I'm not trashing him, he just sounds like he took a couple too many caps of cough syrup.
|
|
|
I want a picture of the food from the event! (when its active ofc)
|
What a disappointment the US Qualifier was, run by one of the least helpful and professional tournament staffs out there.

Well they have been casting 12 hours straight, so its kind of understandable.

Korean qualifiers starting in 2 hours, I wonder who will participate. The player list is kind of still empty for me...
http://www.esl.eu/eu/sc2/1on1/hsciv_kr_qualifer/database/members/*/
hope squirtle really intends on participating as he said in the irc and didn't just misunderstand something.

Adelscott is qualified anyways because he is third. And I really hope DarkHydra is as well!

I'm pretty sure that's not how it's going to be. Take mentioned he has several people on standby who will be invited if he doesn't get the 32 player list full. So I assume he'll rather invite those instead of some nonames.

That's a shame, at least those nonames bothered to particpate in the qualifiers and had a nice run assuming they placed high. :-(

Are there other notable korean names other than the one on calendar?
I tried looking at the Kr link but there isn't much information.

Holy shit so many good players in the KR qualifiers.. JJakji, sage, Hack, July, bomber, curious, Tails, heart.. etc.
Didnt realize the player pool for the qualifiers was this stacked. Would kill to see one of those players in Homestory Cup =D

is san on nshs or no? Everyone else registered as NSH_(playername) but San just registered as San
|
|
|
very nice lineup, rooting for jjakji or Julyzerg :D
|
Kinda sad about the players that qualified, given that soooo many great players tried, would have loved to see julyzerg at HSC4
|
The 3 qualifiers are finished and now I'm thinking of...is there any backup plan?
I mean for place 2 and 3 (or further replacements). If they and/or their teams decide it's not worth paying the trip to Germany.
And additionally the koreans: Will they get a visa within 2 weeks?
Worst case: Instead of 8 players, there will only be 2 showing up. The paid trip from America and Europe.
edit: Thx kochujang. So the worst case is 3 and not 2. American, European and Korean paid trip.

The Koreans do not need any visa, at least not for travelling to Germany.

Where can we see who qualified? The take website is not working properly for me.
|
|

I searched earlier today and there wasn't even a page for the tournament.
Thanks non the less!

How did Violet [KR] qualify as a US participant?
