UPDATED: Rescheduled the qualifiers, to avoid scheduling conflicts with other tournaments
Just about a month is left, then it's time for Christmas uhm.. HomeStoryCup again! From the 19th - 22nd of December, Dennis 'TaKe' Gehlen will open the gates to Krefeld's Nerdvana for the world elite of StarCraft II, which will be fighting for glory, honor and fun! The last title for the „HomeKing“ went to Nerchio, who could defeat YongHwa in an amazing set of games. And to guarantee top matches and the best StarCraft II action imaginable again, we have set up three qualifiers for the HomeStoryCup VI. Each qualifier is dedicated to its own area: One for Korea, one for the American area and one for Europe. Each qualifier grants one spot for the HomeStoryCup VI. And like in previous HomeStoryCup qualifiers, the winner of each qualifier will receive a paid trip, which will cover all travel expenses for the HomeStoryCup VI in Krefeld, Germany.
The qualification stage will start on Saturday, 1st of December 2012 at 12.00 PM CET, with the Korean qualifier. Just one day later, on Sunday, 2nd of December, the Amercian qualifier will be played at 6.00 PM CET. And to complete the whole qualification process, the European qualifier will be played on Wednesday, 5th of December at 5.00 PM CET.
Qualifier and stream schedule for the HomeStoryCup VI:
KR Qualifier – December, 7th 12.00 PM CET – Sign Up
NA Qualifier – December, 5th 11.00 PM CET – Sign Up
EU Qualifier – December, 10th 06.00 PM CET – Sign Up

Everyone is allowed to participate in one of the qualifiers, with the only requirement, that your official place of residence needs to be in the specific region of the qualifier. The Sign-Ups are already available. IMPORTANT: Check-In for each qualifier will be one hour before tournament start and will end 30 minutes before tournament start!
All qualifiers will be broadcasted by Dennis 'TaKe' Gehlen along with one or more of his usual suspects. Additionally, we will provide an English stream for each qualifier. The caster(s) for the English stream will be announced soon. So make yourself already comfortable in your favourite snuggie and prepare some gingerbread, to make this winter an experience like never before.
And last but not least, we would like to thank our sponsors! Without them, the tournament wouldn't be possibe!

Is there any way to reschedule the qualifiers? Both IPL/WCG end on the 2nd of december. While it shouldnt be a problem for Europeans to come back home, I dont think lots of NA/KR players will be able to play.
|
SECOND! Do you guys need a Chinese caster for the TW/KR Qualifiers?
I would be more than willing to do it, and I am staying at my University for Christmas, where I will have an amazing internet connection all to myself!
EDIT: If you can get Sen in on this, I can guarantee you roughly 2.5k extra viewers.

oh shit so I guess now HSC VI is officially announced (or did it miss something earlier?) going to be siiiiiiiick. also i hope a lot of great and well known players sign up for the qualifiers

Can't wait, it's gonna be legendary! But you should really consider to move the KR and NA qualifier by a few days because of IPL/GSL/WCG.
|
Looking forward to this! Wonder who will be invited...

Bad qualifier dates. WCG/IPL5 will remove so many potential players.

Yeah that kind of sucks...
Long as Ganzi is in the qualifiers I'm happy though.
|
there are only so many dates to do it... it's unfortunate but I"m sure very good players will make it regardless.
|
Man, this is gonna be so cozy before christmas. Can't wait. Hope to see Grubby there this time around.

Awesome!!! This is gonna be really good. New Qualifier dates look better as well. It would be crazy good if a Kespa player comes, i'd really like that. Not expecting it though.
|
Are you going to have a lot of Christmas themed things going on? :D

You guys need to do a secret Santa thingy with those who qualified.

Yay! HSC always delivers. Can't wait.
