![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/hyAWK.png) UPDATE: MajOr called us today and told us, that he got a fever and in general very sick, which is why he won't attend at the HomeStoryCup VI powered by XMG. His replacement will be Harstem from the Netherlands, who is currently playing for fnatic English source: http://taketv.net/news/homestorycup-vi-powered-by-xmg-14-12-12-15725 (on the bottom) MajOr had qualified through the NA qualifier. | ||

I especially feel bad for him because his spot was awarded through qualification, rather than just an invitation. He worked hard and now he can't make it due to illness. Hopefully he gets better and can play in more tournaments soon! | ||

I can't imagine many things worse to do when ill than flying, especially a long haul flight rather than a short one. Bear in mind at the end of the flight he would then have to try and play Starcraft against Koreans, he can't just sit around and relax. | ||

It is HSC for me this is the annual regain faith in esports tournament. You actually get to see the players having fun, instead of MLG, IPL style seriousness. Remember MC dancing and casting? That is at least why I tune in, not really for one specific player though I am looking forward to Grubby playing. | ||

The real reason for him not coming due to being sick, is probably that he would be denied acess to the plane, as some people already said, airlines don't take people in who got a fever. I'm sure he would love to attend, I mean, free plane ticket to an awesome event he qualified for? | ||

You're ignorant and you shouldn't post in topics where you don't read the OP. He had paid flight and board, there's literally no reason to not go unless you can't make the flight due to illness. To the people saying he's laddering and playing an online tourney...that's not getting on an airplane and travelling from Mexico to Germany with a fever lol. I came back to the US from Germany with food poisoning, it was one of the worst experiences of my life, if I had to compete in a tourney after that? And have people judge my performance based on that? Get a grip. | ||
