I am just afraid, that Dennis started this with great passion and plan to create an unofficial global event and this change of timing of Proleague practically destroyed his intentions ... I only hope, he will manage to create some good participation anyway ... even when if not, everybody will understand it after the Proleague change ... primarily when SKT is playing Jin Air during that weekend ... | ||

I don't think any Proleauge player that has an important match to play would come, even if it was still on mon/tue. They could only fly back on monday and wouldn't be prepared. I think only some of the bigger teams who can spare a player would send someone regardless of the schedule change. | ||

Yes ... let us hope ... e.g. if Trap / Cure could come if one of them was not nominated for the match vs SKT would be great, the same eventually with Inno / Dream / etc. ... :-) | ||

I don't think the quality of the tourney will be hurt too much by the shifted SPL dates and I'm super excited :D | ||

Didn't Reality and Journey skip proleague once to play in Red bull archon matches? I don't think it's impossible for PL players to come if they want to. | ||

I am still dreaming about a few great, but not TOP class players, who would normally hardly find a spot in Proleague on that weekend, like Cure, Trap, Inno and similar ones ... I remember that always when this kind of players went to a tournament abroad and were successful in it, they came back and their team profited from their new seld confidence. | ||

Its probably ultimately left up to the coaches whether they can go. Samsung has tended to be more lenient in the past in terms of letting players travel, but some teams would want their entire team at home even if the player isn't in the lineup, for practice reasons or whatever. I'd personally love to see soO, I think he'd be hilarious with the foreign pros | ||

Most people who tune in think that they are denied by this year's WCS format but in reality many tournies didn't have a lot of proleague players even when they could have koreans last year. I don't think the quality of the tourney will be hurt too much by the shifted SPL dates and I'm super excited :D I think the format has something to do with it, there were a few players last year who were around 12th-20th in WCS points and went to every foreign tourney they could to squeeze out those few extra points. | ||

We haven't had many international events this year with the changes. I would kill to have one of those weekender tournaments once more. How awesome would it be to see TY, soO, Zest, herO etc. hanging out with all the HSC people. | ||

I dont think kt or skt will send their main players even if they are invited. because the telecom derby thing, all they want is to win against their opponent even they are both saved for the playoff. | ||

To me hsc has always been about the fun and banter. A place for everyone to have a good time. My favourite memories of hsc are not the games but the casting. | ||

NarutO does not like the current region lock and I am sure he is working hard to get some of the best players out to Krefeld. It's just not that easy to get them to come with GSL/SSL and Proleague going and HSC can't offer WCS points. Still, I am sure there will be some Koreans among the players that have yet to be announced. Edit: Also I think TRUE still counts as Korean, kinda overlooked him too though  .On June 08 2016 14:53 Kaizor wrote: If people think watching hsc is about having the best quality games, they are having the wrong idea.

It's still nice to see some of the best games on the last day and a great final like Flash vs Parting will always be a highlight. | ||

Maybe some Afreeca/Samsung/MVP guys like Keen, Journey, Billowy that are not used as much in PL(Keen not even on PL roster). Parting is also a possibility. SKT could let go someone like Impact or Zoun but no soO, Inno etc. | ||

SKT could let go someone like Impact or Zoun but no soO, Inno etc. Actually Keen is very likely, since he played in the KR qualifier and lost 2:3 to TRUE in the final. So at least he is willing to come and Afreeca seems willing to pay for his trip. | ||

A place for everyone to have a good time. My favourite memories of hsc are not the games but the casting. Well, everybody loves HSC because it is what it is. But after Dennis announced, he does not follow the WCS rules, everybody has expected this year's HSC to be the best tournament of the year, the first real unofficial Global Event ... But with the Proleague timing change, it might not be the case anymore ... so we all somehow hope, he will still manage to do it. Even just having KeeN and ByuN would be great!!! Sad that MC will miss it as a showmaker, but we are all happy to have him in SPL. Let's hope, Dennis surprises us with some big fish! | ||

And I repeat, during season. how paranoid are you? | ||

The only reason last HSC had no Kespa koreans was because of SpoTV sheduling the SSL Qualifiers on the same date as the HSC. Following this, Zest, Solar, and some B-Teamers of KT and Samsung canceled their flights. This year it is only one week of ProLeague and KT, SKT and Jin Air are almost save in the final playoffs. | ||

if you want to show your disinterest then just avoid the threads and the organizers will know people are avoiding them from the lack of posts. yelling at them that there are no koreans doesn't do anything. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to put together that higher level players will attract some viewers, but organizers aren't always able to work with higher level players. | ||
