You know SC2 is dead because there are scheduling conflicts because of too many major tournaments.

Great news and all, but why are we having this 2 weeks after DH Summer, just move it 1 week earlier so that non-EU players dont have to travel home and back again.

Complain away naysayer. I welcome any new tournament because I am better than you

Nah, tournament are always a plus, I am just trying to see why cant we have the full experience better. Remember how HSC last year was smacked right in the middle of GSL and non of the top KR was able to play? Its a shame if the scheduling become the reason why the fans and viewer cant have the full roster of top players in the world competing.


Because it just doesn’t work like that. I also think HSC would love it if they could guarantee more players, but there is a lot that goes into deciding dates and so on. And last year they had approval from ESL/Blizzard for their schedule (I cant remember which) but they forgot HSC was scheduled and allowed GSL to schedule over it.

A lot of people would say having the tournament the weekend after DH is also worse because its too much having the back to back weekends of big events

I have zero experience with hosting SC2 event, and I know that TakeTV has lost money on doing HSC so I do feel bad for them. This is not me trying to shade the organizer for trying their best at keeping the scene alive, I will always support SC2 tournament for the sake of the esport and players. However, I do feel a trend going where tournaments are scheduled with conflict / inconvenience when it doesnt have to be. Now, maybe there are lots of things going into this like you said, so I have no idea what I am saying at all. But I do know that asking somebody to do do inter-continental flight 4 times in 2 weeks, plus the jet lag in between while asking them to perform at top condition is humanly improbable. Maybe this has happened a lots before in SC2 scene and that players are totally ready for it, so I guess I could be wrong again.



You’re saying that you have no experience in scheduling tournaments and don’t have knowledge of the complexities that arise from hosting a live tournament with tens of thousands of dollars in prize money/ operational costs. Have you considered that of the two possible situations you mention, which of the two seems more likely to have occurred?

There are dozens of hypothetical reasons why it “had” to be this weekend. We don’t know if any of them are true but I think we can both assume that in organizing a tournament there are going to be factors that will affect scheduling of the tournament.

The alternative that you’re suggesting is that the tournament had no scheduling factors and that a decision was made to intentionally have it two weeks after DH. I don’t think you’re suggesting that Take wants worse games at his tournament or is trying to harm the players of a game that he’s ran over 20 tournaments for; what hypothetical reason could account for both the lack of scheduling factors and the intentional two week gap from DH to HSC?

That would be awesome but has any HSC ever had a 6 figure prize pool?

The scheduling is unfortunate not just from a jetlag timeframe but also from a we went almost 4 months with no offline events and now have 2 a couple weeks apart. That's not ideal for viewership or keeping players in top form. More events are always amazing news though.

SC2 history 2023 onwards will be one big, neverending HomeStory. Cups here and there. Maybe some prize money, here and there.

Bought flights for me and a friend. Happy to visit my 2nd HSC, and now in the iconic city of Krefeld, as the 1st one was in the Tropical Islands.

Any good tips for accommodation?

Not to "defend" HSC per se, but they've typically announced prize money EXTREMELY late (and often just announce the total and not reveal the exact split until during/after the tournament)
AdministratorHey HP can you redo everything youve ever done because i have a small complaint?
