Hot6ix, 2013 SC2 sponsors create the new tournament "Hot6ix Cup"
On March 7th, 2013, the sponsors of GomTV's GSL tournament announced a new partnership involving a tournament with progamers playing in the Hot6ix Cup.
The Hot6ix Cup will be held for one week in the December of this year, involving the winners and runner-ups of the 2013 GSL season, totaling 8 people.
GomTV's Hot6ix Cup opened up a new website recently, and passed on the news to other e-sports news reporters.
Woo Joo-Yang of GomTV's media section said, "We are pleased to announce the Hot6ix Cup in partnership with Hot6ix during 2013 to conclude the year of StarCraft. Hot6ix continues to be generous with their sponsorship to the domestic scene, and displays a commitment to teams and players to provide a meaningful end to the year as a StarCraft II 2013 Tour year-end award ceremony. We are asking the Hot6ix Cup receive a lot of attention and generous support", he said.
Information on the Hot6ix Cup can be found on the official blog (http://gsl.gomtv.com/), the GSL blog, (http://enjoygsl.blog.me/), and the Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/GOGSL).

My opinion: Essentially a Blizzard Cup except with way more funding by Hot6ix.

I think we have plenty of time to prepare for this...

So the 6 other finalist from the 3 other GSLs this year. I dont like the idea of someone getting a seed to a big tournament for doing well 10 months prior on a different game (looking at your RorO and Symbol)

dis is loooking goood!! i will tune in

Yeah, it does seem ridiculous, especially when it was a different expansion done several months ago.

I think it would be kind of cool to bump it up to maybe like a 16 man tournament since they eliminated season 5 and have more time. Maybe do the 4 champions and runners up + top 8 in points not included in those. 8 man seems a little small with more time at the end of the year
|
They should add auto seeds for Mvp for good measure

Eight people certainly feels restricted considering the scope of the tournament. Sixteen people just feels right as a conclusion to 2013, and I think your idea works quite well.

I wonder how the Hot6ix Cup connects to the WCS system, though I suppose it is a purely GSL based tournament. So this will function as the concluding tournament for GSL purely, while WCS is done for the whole tournament scene globally.

I think you're probably right. Gom would have known about this announcement already so I doubt anything will change
|
Hey, what happens if somebody wins or is runner up in two GSLs (cough Mvp cough)? I assume it's determined by GSL points?
|
United States97276 Posts
Probably. That's how they added in players for the Blizzard Cup before when someone qualified more than once.
|
I am going to go all necromancer with thtis one ,since its been a while with no new information. Anyone knows what about this tournament? we are closer to december now
|
I'll update the OP with new info like prize pool allocation and current player list.
Forgot I can't update outdated posts, guess I'll just post new info here.

I believe it will be played in Seoul, and no, they have Tastosis as casters.

cool cool cool.
I think it would be cooler if they made some weekend tourney instead. There they could also give out WCS points.

I thought this would be one of those "smaller" events, but I just remembered there is nothing small about starcraft in Korea.

This is essentially Blizzard cup with other sponsor and other type of invites.

It's quite obvious the awards will be
best terran Innovation
best zerg soulkey
best protoss rain
best rookie maru
now that the semi finals for the current GSL are done, the two remaining players has been decided.
With only 8 players this grand slam feels a bit small compared to the previous years where there was 10

If Dear wins this GSL, Rain is getting his 2nd silver 
Maru is the least rookie of them all
Best rookie will be something like First?

Feel like Bomber's gotta be one of the seeds with his Season 2 championships, guess that depends on who the champion and runner-up are this season as there could be overlap with Maru and SoulKey

Oh, i thought you meant Maru. Well, best rookie is probably Dear. Since he qualified for WCS KR in Season 2 and is coming to win it now.

Looking at the player list of that GSL brings on some serious nostalgia though. And that was only a year and a half ago.

Yeah I guess, I was more going by 'professional career' rookie, rather than Code S rookie. As it said Dear has been around for a few years or something in the promo.

Wow no kidding, I clicked it expecting some names like MKP, DRG & Parting but this was even back when NesTea was in GSL (and Mvp) - but what really dates it is NaDa and July!!, and to a lesser extend Zenio & Jjiakji :o

So I guess Dear will probably be the favorite going into this too unless something changes at Blizzcon. Imagine if he won Season 3 WCS KR, Season 3, Blizzcon, and this tournament
