I only wonder, that Take mostly have interest in his own pocket more than saving SC2, as he takes half of donations, money from AD's and puts 0 money into prize pool initially

Completely absurd of you to suggest that Take is only doing this out of greed. The man oozes passion for the game. TakeTV has done more for Starcraft than almost anyone. What have you done for SC2?

Look at the post history of this user, and you have a pretty good Idea of the mindset.
I'm just a cynical video game enjoyer who is probably unfazed by many business dealings many would find utterly distasteful, while not strictly illegal by the law as seen in a general sense in the world.

Yeah, right. It is much better to have no tournaments instead of someone with passion for the game getting a little bit out of it. And believe me, considering the high energy-prices in germany right now, they can be happy to get atleast a little bit out of it...

Can't go wrong with more HSC! Awesome news!
Now witness their attempts to fly from tree to tree. Notice they do not so much fly as plummet.

Ah, yes, hosting incredible tournaments with a bunch of additional social activities and other events for a relatively obscure RTS e-sports game, one of the easiest and readiest ways of making money in this day and age.

TakeTV is one of the pillars of the SC2 community.

Anyway, so much SC2 this weekend! HomeStory Cup and Master's Coliseum.
Mutation complete.

Anyone who suggests what TakeTV is doing it for money doesn't know shit about current SC2 esport scene.
It's not worth it to do this for money, they do it out of passion.
Money only make it possible as production costs are always there.

Even with the expected donation money the event will most likely be run at a loss.
You have to consider hotels, travel, accomodations (food, drinks etc during the event), etc. that TaKe pays for.

Mind we changed Playoffs to single elim to give more time for other stuff during the stream.

Also as a side note TaKe is already live with some pre show stuff right now: https://www.twitch.tv/take

how were the groups made?

I'm looking forward to the casualness for this one.

Can we get a Legends: Socke vs Tarson show match? xd

TaKe wanted to revive an old HSC habit, the "HomeStorc Cup Drinking Game":

Take a drink whenever...
  • someone complains it’s to hot
  • someone pukes you Finnish a drink
  • someone complains about balance
  • you see the looping Louis
  • the first [[Nuke]] is launched in a game
  • the first [[Mothership]] is build in a game
  • you see a proxy 2 rax
  • a player looses their [[Reaper]] in the first couple of minutes
  • 20 workers die (in the counter)
  • more than 8 command centers are build in a spirit game
  • every 25 minutes in a game

Much more fun because it's now Clem's tournament to lose?
