Behold, gender-confused ladies and prideful gaming gentlemen!
Dennis "TaKe" Gehlen reporting in! It's Homestory Cup!
If you're a Starcraft II player looking to be unleashing some pride in being one, tune into my stream--that's TaKe if you haven't realized yet--on ESL to watch players brawl for a total prize pool of €500!
Benjamin "DeMusliM" Baker, Dennis "HasuObs" Schneider, Giacmo "Socke" Thüs, and Jos "ReT" de Kroon will congregate in my comfy and not-at-all cramped household in Krefeld, Germany.
Kevin "Rotterdam" Van Der Kooi will be commentating with me as we travel through this amazing journey together with LIQUID`ReT.
You might be wondering, "Oh, dear god, when will I get to involuntarily unhinge my jaws and watch glory at its best?" Do not worry, my friends, all the information will be right here to make you feel an uncontrollable urge to loosen your bowels.

Best of Three
Double Elimination
Finale: Best of Five - Player from Winner Bracket leading 1:0.
There will not be any observers allowed in the tournament, just the administrator and me.
We have all 9 ladder maps. The high seeded player in the rankings removes first and decides the first map.
Overall, both players will remove 3 maps until three maps remain.
After the first player picks a map, the second player chooses the map for the next round.

I will also raffle away some nice prizes!
People will be able to win some nice prizes like a Raynor noob, some shirts-- including an Intel Extreme Masters' t-shirt with autographs from all the players, Day[9], and d.Apollo. Those aren't the only prizes, though. There are plenty more!

I will start casting my four buddies participating in the SteelSeries GO4SC2 Cup starting at 12:00 GMT (+00:00), interviews included. I expect the whole event to run until 20:00 GMT (+00:00).
I hope one or two of these gamer geniuses can reach at least a quarter or the semifinals, so we can be able to cast even more!
If the stream has free time during the weekend, we will give the viewers a chance to play against one of the pros, with the guys commentating on the game.
Replay analyses can be eligible to fit in the free time, as well!
We will also have an exclusive, with a behind-the-scenes view, so don't go anywhere just yet!
I always keep the community updated via my Facebook account, Dennis Gehlen.
Everyone can add me to get further information if needed.
Thank you for your time
I hope I gave out all the needed information.
Thanks, guys, have a good one!
