The Prize Pool:





The Map Pool:



Players are allowed to thumbs down one map in advance. Loser picks next map.

All games are best of 3, except semis/3rd place which are best of 5, and finals which are best of 7



Crossfire* GSL version

Terminus* GSL Version

Crevasse* GSL Version

Tal'Darim Altar* GSL Version

Shattered Temple

Iccup Testbug

Shakuras Plateau



Round of 16 begins on Tal'Darim Altar









The Tournament is scheduled to start within the next week, and is expected to conclude by the end of March. (Expected to last about a week) As most of you guys know, HDH2 was put on indefinite hold due to legality and other issues, so I decided to go ahead and organize a smaller tournament. Obviously the list of invited players is not yet completed, so if any accomplished/high profile players are interested in participating in this tournament, please reply to this post!



Much thanks to the Sponsors!

Also, is there any additional information? I assume the matches will be streamed on justin.tv, but all you mention in the op is your Youtube channel. Also, any info on map pool or tournament format?



I feel there should be a bit more information if it's going to start within a week ~_~ I HAVE 5 TOAST POINTS

The map pool has been added. As far as broadcasts go, all games will be going up via youtube. I am still determining whether or not I can do Justin TV for the semis/finals (working on some hardware) The map pool has been added. As far as broadcasts go, all games will be going up via youtube.

Wow on second thought, what a stupid nonsense post by me. I'm not sure why I even wrote that, it's a fairly solid list and apparently I failed to read the op properly. :/ That was totally just the swedish fanboy in me speaking.

edit-Just saw the tyler/nony invite. Woot. Very excited for this tournament. Thanks for organizing and putting this on HD. The map pool is top notch, great choices, I'm expecting great and awesome games from the invited players. Have you thought about inviting Tyler/Nony, Jinro, Moonglade, and Artosis (he said he's starting to play competitively again)? I know they were in HDH, so it would cool to see them play together again. Oh, I would like to see Huk and Haypro, tooedit-Just saw the tyler/nony invite. Woot. Don't mind me

Who knows maybe if this pays off they will consider other SC2 sponsorships. The Innocent shall suffer... big time.

I'm thinking that if this first tournament by HD is successful in terms of viewer count, then HD will be able to put on more and bigger tournaments. HD will have a track record with IGN and Justin tv, so they will feel more comfortable giving more money.
