Oh and of course Snute will be there, not to compete though.



To bring Snute over was a donation goal at the Panthouse Party.

Just didn't feel right to let him go just like that, without a proper farewell!


Snute hype!
I know it's very improbable but I hope he can pull of an MMA and end his career with a bang at HSC

Edit: Nvm I can't read, well at least the sc2 community will be able to give him a proper goodbye

if we show enough interest im sure theyll get him into some kind of showmatch while he's there unless he really really doesn't want to


SnuteShirtless Zest vs Shirtless Rotti showmatch


There you go, I fixed that.


Please move this to the Zest's body thread

Hello!

A statement for the upcoming HomeStory Cup and tournamnet system as well as the rundown of show. People are used to us going really game - heavy and have only casual breaks from time to time. This time to have a good production and visibility for our partners we have decided to keep the conferencing of games to a minimum.

We will select 10 games over two groups to implement promotion and side content to bring back the old flair of HSC. While we all love games and esport we trust that across two english streams, two russian streams, a german stream, a french stream, a polish stream, a korean stream and several other streams there will be more than enough content and games featured.

We decided to post a statement which we will also include in the survial guide to bring the awareness to people that providing a good show to you is just as important as to create a good product for our partners potentially and hopefully resulting in longer partnerships and more HSCs.

Thank you <3

You're going to show 10 games when there are 32 players there? Am I reading that correctly? Little confused.

If I get it correctly the main stream is gonna have "only" 10 series in the group stage to make more time for sponsor promotion, add brakes, and other side content (I'm guessing interviews, games ect...).
But the other stream (english B stream and foreign streams) will still be able to run like they want. So I'm guessing it's gonna be more of a Dreamhack group stage kind of setting (but with better off game banters )

They run Group 1 and 2 (8+8 players) on day one and show a total of 10 games on the main stream during that.
They run Group 3 and 4 (8+8 players) on day two and show a total of 10 games on the main stream during that.

You can always watch the 2nd stream or another language stream where more games are shown.

I understand that decision, but I hope this does not lead to a "wow, this Bo3 by Serral against Nonamer was finished in 15 Minutes, now we sadly have to wait 45 minutes till the next game, now please watch this countdown with some sponsor logos for the next 45 minutes".
I can understand "sponsor messages", casual content and all over some games, but when they ever pop up a more then 2 minutes load screen instead of showing one of the 1000 games that are running... I'd be slighly mad/sad.

We have planned to show 10x bo3 instead of 14x bo3. And yes - when we finish a series we picked within our usual timeframe and after that frame is a promotional slot - we will show that regardless if a game is running at the same time or not. Its probably possible to watch that on another stream. Round Robin is simply not possible to run (8 man groups x2) within a 12 hour period if you want to have fixed promotional slots.

If you want to have a fixed promo slot that would mean:

Run first round of RR system (4x bo3)
Promo
Run second round of RR system (4x bo3)
Promo

and so on. That means every bo3 round is as long as the LONGEST bo3. We play on accelerated schedule so when a match is finished, that player can instantly play a match vs any available opponent. This allows us to be quicker with the RR system and still run it. This also generates barely any breaks / moments where no game is going on thus: we have to run a commercial over some games > thus community streams/b-stream etcp p

Group C is tough. And INno and Solar's online aligulac rating farming has served them well for seeding.

Group C will be the best but I hope they show Zest vs Taeja... I need to see that.
Banned for saying "zerg players are by far the biggest whiners in sc2 history" despite the fact that this forum is full of such posts about Terrans. Foreigner Elitists in control!
