Upcoming Event: Monday, Aug 21 2:30am GMT (GMT+00:00)

THE FINAL HOURS



''The Final Hours'' will now be a recurring show at the concluding hours of each Ladder Challenger for both NA and EU. It will provide an entertaining show with different guests every time. During the show we will analyze what's happening at the top of Grand Master and how it will all unfold as we get closer to the conclusion of the respective ladder qualifier. Thanks to in-game profile viewing and the website SC2Stalk we can effectively track every match being played. You can expect all kinds of guests to come on the show, from players who have qualified to players who have dropped out to casters. We will also attempt to have a player's interview for the 8th place at the end of each event, although this can not be guaranteed as it depends on the player.

Guests are always announced a day to a couple of hours before the show due to the volatile nature of this ''tournament'' and people's busy and scheduled lives. In the future, we will also attempt to perhaps go into games that played out that day or that made the qualifier exciting.


Upcoming qualifier: WCS Montreal North America

Stream: HERE

Time and Date Monday, Aug 21 2:30am GMT (GMT+00:00)




This will be the one thread for this show and will be updated as soon as a new qualifier is closeby. For questions/enquires regarding the show, don't hesitate contacting me on Twitter or Twitch.

Awesome idea, glad there are community members willing to do it when ESL doesn't.

This is about the players at the top 8 of EU ladder, they get free qualify to WCS Valencia, the others have to go through the regular qualifiers.

They scheduled the Jönköping and Valencia qualifiers to be super close together for some reason.

Cool initiative, good luck!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Sounds like a silly thing to do, but as long as the players are aware of it...

Anyhow, very nice idea to make an event out of it!

The sooner the better. It makes booking flights and hotels much easier and cheaper, if you don't get a spot from qualifiers. Copa America is played out today for spots in Jonkoping - good luck in booking a hotel in Jonkoping today for the days of DH.

You don't think DH reserves rooms in advance for their participants?

Only for those who qualify. In SC2 this means they reserve rooms for 16 players. The remaining 64 have to book their own rooms.

Progamers should be old enough to book a hotel room in advance if they are truly interested in going. No need to wait for a qualifier to do that.

Another edition of the ladder challenger concludes tonight, and we will be streaming (about) it. We will have some interesting hosts alongside me and dPix's VitamiN today, so stay tuned! Also important to note, the stream will start 30 minutes later, so at 02:30 GMT (+00:00). See you there!

After a long 2 months, the ladder challenger returns. For the past 3 Days, EU pros have played their virtual butt off for a chance to get to skip the tournament qualifier, and it's not over yet. We will go live at 10PM CEST tonight with (T)Optimus to tell us his experience with the EU ladder (over the past couple of days) and discuss the qualifier with us. Aside from that we will attempt to have more players/personalities make an appearance.
