HomeStory Cup doesn't need marketing. People go to the event for the environment more than for top tier Starcraft. But having some top koreans is what adds some extra spice to the tournament. Also its a rare opportunity for lower tiered foreigners to upset some koreans. Iam just worried we are running out of time. | ||

First of all my HomeStoryCups in terms of responsible for invites always had good to insane lineups with a few exceptions that werr a bit weaker. Secondly it is not always easy to gather all superstars and HSC isnt the GSL code S. Most of the time though we have Europes superstars and iirc last time had multiple GSL champions. I agree that we are late on announcements but the way you put it makes it really easy for you too. As example I just confirmed 2 players a day ago and not due to me being lazy but many declines; issues with people being able to go OR cancelling for private reasons. You cannot name a Single HSC in the past years with a bad lineup. To give you some Inside: Trap was invited and cant make it Special cant make it Serral cant make it Neeb cant make it Showtime cant make it Along with other issues. Our lineup will have multiple GSL champions and some of the best players that ever touched starcraft alongside fan favorites from the sc2 and broodwar era. Furthermore I decided to help smaller talent whoare still good to come and cover costs even though this is over our budget already and we do not have a mainpartner resulting in a 10000$ prizepool. So yes; we are a bit late with announcing superstars or in general but do not fear; the lineup is still very strong | ||

Dont get angry at some random dude that only made three posts on TL until now The line up nearly never disappointed for years now. Really looking forward. | ||

Btw, would it be possible to let us donate towards the prize pool during the 4 days of HSC? I'm sure we can add a few thousand! Edit: Also it's very disapppointing that HSC seemingly gets no support from the Warchest money. | ||

Edit: Also it's very disapppointing that HSC seemingly gets no support from the Warchest money. The issue is that it will always be generated 'income' as a business. You donate 10$ - we obviously need to pay taxes for it. So 40% or so (I am no tax guy) is already gone - then we increase prize pool and pay the players - they pay taxes obviously as well. So increasing prize-pool via donations usually isn't super good | ||
