Survival Guide with an explanation from NarutO:







Main Stream obviously means casted by the crew on the couch.



Mainstream joined by casters means the game will most likely be not casted but jumped into for highlights/fights or something amazing happening. It is the series that will be went into in case the main-match doesn't last as long.



B-Stream: this match will be fully covered on twitch.tv/TaKeTV2

Offstream: This match is not covered by taketv but can be covered due to community. They have free choice of games so there is no guarantee meaning it could be non-streamed.



We will try to play one round, finish it, start the next round unless schedule or crazy games prevent this. We will recap after each 2nd round. Much like MMA at the last HSC, FanTaSy will also be celebrating his return to sc2 in Krefeld, Germany.Here is the full player list:Edit:Main Stream obviously means casted by the crew on the couch.Mainstream joined by casters means the game will most likely be not casted but jumped into for highlights/fights or something amazing happening.

Nice, I always enjoy it when tournaments try a different format. And HSC is pretty much the perfect opportunity to try something too https://i.imgur.com/2wCUbam.jpg "Durn is a trash player meching cunt" - Luolis 2018 | Never forget the time Aeromi consistently ignored me in LR threads because I asked about Chile

DBooN Profile Joined May 2011 Germany 2462 Posts #4 Cool stuff, groups with 8 players in round robin sounds a bit crazy, that's 28 bo3s per group? I guess there can never be too much Starcraft, but some games will probably have to be played offstream unless I messed up my math.

I'd say it's just a one time thing for HSC. MrBitter works for the NYXL Overwatch team, so I don't think he'll be retuning to sc2 for real. I'd say it's just a one time thing for HSC.

Awesome, thanks!



Btw, I think we need Drogo vs Demuslim on the mainstream now after that trash talk on The Pylon . Rotti and Incontrol really want to cast it too.

Imho

But anyways: GL HF Imho FanTaSy will be slaughtered anyway - returning to SC2 is one hell of an effort. Being able to compete again with the "big guys" will need some time and training for FanTaSy ...But anyways: GL HF
