Thanks,
Daenks

3/28 Update:
Season One’s registration phase will be closing 4/1, and online matches to compete for your place at the live event on 4/14/2012 will begin shortly after. Players should expect an email shortly after registration closes to schedule matches.

The map poll will also be closing 4/1, and there will be more information released about the event and venue on that day.

3/14 Update:
We're currently sitting at 57 registered players, and i have posted a poll on our homepage, please go vote for the maps you would like to see in HSL Season one! Also, HSL will be attending the Lone Star Clash, come by and say hello!

3/8 Update:
After 24 hours we had 39 people sign up for the tournament, 10 BSG, 29 Plat+. As of now we have: BSG: 10 Plat+: 32 bringing the total to 42 in a little under a day and a half!

Thanks everyone who has signed up and keep spreading the word! We also signed up two Grand Masters players. The full roster is available at http://www.houstonstarcraftleague.com/hsl-2012-season-one/ and every page on houstonstarcraftleague.com has a player counter on the right side.

Some issues were brought to my attention, such as the map pool not being posted, issues with single elimination for the online matches, start date for online matches, and a few others. I will be touching on all of these over the coming days and weeks.

Stay tuned as we're not done announcing exciting news!

History:
HSL was founded January, 2012, our purpose being to build and maintain an eSports community in Houston, TX and its surrounding areas. Though our initial event is a tournament, we would like to embellish all facets of the eSports community and hold LANs, practice nights, tournaments, barcrafts, etc. If you live in/around Houston, have a passion for eSports, and would like to be involved in the day to day operations and event planning for HSL, please email daenks@houstonstarcraftleague.com.

Additional Info:
We are still working out some of the specifics, which means that casters, matches, prize pools, etc. are all subject to change until we begin our online matches approximately 10 days before the tournament. Registered players can be viewed from our homepage, http://www.houstonstarcraftleague.com.

Also, a special thanks to (Wiki)Quantic Gaming for their assistance in the planning and preparation for this event! They have been a joy to work with!

Yes, we want lots of newbies! The more people we can get interested in Starcraft 2 the more eSports will grow locally! This will NOT be our last BSG event for prizes and cash!

Also, the microsoft store found US. He google'd "houston starcraft" and found me at the bottom of the 1st page. Props to the Community guy, Rashid!
