good luck to all involved in their future endeavours.

Just to make sure, that you are aware, this does only mean, that XMG stops to sponsor HSC, HSC without XMG will still happen.

Sad for Socke, but with Hasu saying, that they plan to make the next step with WELL MET, it seems to be only the logical consequence. Good luck in Heroes Socke, I'll probably watch a bit of WELL MET's matches in the future.



Not to shit on your post or anything but how exactly is HSC still gonna happen after losing one of the biggest supporters? We don't know whether or not the indiegogo fundraiser included XMG's sponsorship or not, but if they provided a lot of the support for HSC, then the fans may have to donate even more to make HSC 11 happen, in which case they might not have it at all or just delay it for awhile until they find new sponsorships (if they can).

Best of luck to Socke though and thanks to XMG for giving us one of the most fun tourney series sc2 has had over the past 5 years!

So with Socke and Hasuobs both leaving their respective SC2 teams in the past couple of days this probably means that their HoTS team is getting picked up by a major organization right?

I don't know about his Hearthstone results but he certainly had quite an amazing SC2 career. Just because he wasn't winning premier tournaments left and right doesn't mean he lacked success or fame. Socke is a very popular player with some solid winnings, especially within the German scene.

"In the past we always managed to cover this huge amount of money with the great help of our sponsors but this time the total budget provided by our sponsors MIFcom, NEEDforSEAT®, Kinguin and EIZO will be covering 42,500 $ - which is great, but still 12,500 $ are missing to make HomeStory Cup XI come to life."

Take explained that for this homestory cup ther were less sponsors interested in sc2, XMG wasn't included in the statement above so its safe to assume XMG were one of the sponsors Take was talking about.

Yes, the original statement said, that they were getting 42,5k from "MIFcom, NEEDforSEAT, Kinguin and EIZO". People were speculating about XMG being gone from HSC on the second page of the fundraising-topic already, so they knew back then. I think, given, that the fundraising-goal has been achieved, that it is safe to say that HSC 11 will take place.

ugh. if i knew i could vote for warcraft 3 i would take that over almost any other game there, besides sc2 and cs, because cs is so important to the scene.

grr.

Sad about Socke, but I think everybody saw it coming for a long time.

Really stoked to how DH Germany will turn out. Regardless whether it contains Sc2 or not (though I do hope it does), the more competitive gaming events, the better.

So long and I wish you best of luck in Heroes, Giacomo Tschüss.

Yes HSC XI is happening, XMG is just no longer a sponsor of HSC. They might still work together with Take on other tournaments.

Crowdfunding succeeded already but it's still running.

Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

According to the TakeTV stream (some time ago): The reason that they had to fundraise in the first place was because XMG pulled out and they couldn't find another sponsor. So basically we compensated for XMG pulling out -->the fundraiser succeeded --> HSC XI will happen

Thank you XMG for your unwavering SC2 support!

Thank you and best of Luck Socke! You're awesome!
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"
