The groups for the seven edition of Germany HomeStory CUP have been revealed. The event that will start in less than one day will feature a total of 32 players that will duke it out for the $25,000 in cash prize.

The players were splitted into eight groups of four players, with top two from each group advancing into the second Group Stage.

Groups are:

Group A Group B Group C Group D

The action will start as stated in less than one day, in Krefeld, Germany, at Germany Take's flat

Just as for the Korean part of USA WCS, the American new season will not be held by USA MLG, but by a cooperation between USA NASL and former USA IPL members, whom now represent BliZZard.

NASL will handle the LAN part of the event, while BliZZard will handle the first part of the second season.

Much like in the Korean scene, MLG will handle the Challenger League as does GOM.tv in Korea.

MLG staff had to say:

"After coordinating on WCS America Season 1 and careful consideration, we have decided to transition away from operation of WCS America and refocus efforts on producing our own eSports competitions.

It was a pleasure working with Blizzard on the inaugural season, however given the structure of the relationship and the impact on the organization, players and community, we feel that it will better serve the eSports ecosystem to run tournaments independently.

Our next major event will be the Spring Championship in Anaheim on June 28-30 which will feature StarCraft II as a WCS Tier 1 competition with $25,000 in prize money and a 128-player open bracket, offering an opportunity for local American StarCraft II talent to test their skills against proven, world-class pro gamers.

We will continue to produce the WCS America Season 1 competition through the end of Challenger League and Up/Down matches, which will conclude on June 21. The complete broadcast schedule is available here. We thank the community for participating in and watching Season 1, look forward to showcasing StarCraft II at the MLG Spring Championship, and wish the players participating in WCS Season 2 the best of luck."

The action will resume somewhere in July.

It was today announced that the former United Kingdom Dignitas and Sweden TheGD studio caster, United Kingdom Shaun "Apollo" Clark has signed a contract with Germany ESL.tv and will now move to Germany in order to help United Kingdom Kaelaris cast Germany WCS Europe Season 2 and any Intel Extreme Masters event there is.

Germany ESL.tv managers stated:

"We are happy to announce the hiring of renowned StarCraft II commentator Shaun 'Apollo' Clark. Shaun will take the role of Lead Commentator for the World Championship Series Europe and Intel Extreme Masters. With a fantastic performance in the first season of WCS Europe: Premier League, Shaun already played an important role in bringing the Starcraft excitement to our fans around the world. The fulltime addition of Shaun to the ESL TV team will further increase the broadcast quality of events like WCS Europe and the Intel Extreme Masters."

United Kingdom Apollo stated:

"WCS is the main project I want to work on and I am happy to be making the move to Germany to be fully involved in not only the WCS but also the IEM stops. Having already worked alongside ESL TV for WCS Season 1, they are very hard working and are dedicated to improving themselves and giving the best show possible, which is an attitude I relate to and appreciate. Now, lets kick ass for WCS EU Season 2!” 

The players list for the upcoming USA MLG has been made public. There are many players, and the list contains some big names also.

There is to mention that different from other MLG's this time the really big names are not there.

Some well known players are: GermanyZerg TLO, NetherlandsProtoss Grubby, USAProtoss iNcontroL, South KoreaZerg Golden, South KoreaTerran Dragon, South KoreaTerran Apocalypse, Zerg CatZ, United KingdomTerran DeMuslim, CanadaProtoss HUK, South KoreaZerg HyuN, South KoreaProtoss HwangSin, USATerran Illusion, SwedenProtoss NaNiwa, CanadaZerg Ostojiy, South KoreaTerran Polt, USATerran qxc, South KoreaZerg soO, South KoreaTerran sC, SwedenProtoss SaSe, South KoreaTerran TheStC, SwedenTerran ThorzaiN, South KoreaZerg viOLet, South KoreaZerg YugiOh, South KoreaTerran Sound

UPDATE #3: Despite to many complains that in Starcraft 2: HotS Protoss race is weakest one - representative of this race became the champion of Dreamhack Summer SC2. In the final South KoreaProtoss Stardust won over South KoreaZerg Jaedong [3:2] after a gruelling duel, in which both players made agressive plays, all-in's and base trades. 
UPDATE #2: Group stage at Dreamhack Summer CS Starcraft 2 is finished. Only seven players still stand tall in front of the first place, South KoreaZerg Jaedong is the first to make it to the Ro4, he awaits to see the result of GermanyZerg TLO vs. South KoreaTerran Taeja. Bracket is below
UPDATE: First Group Stage is over, the favourites had no problems in taking the slot for the second Group stage. Even if there are some upsets, as in the Koreans not taking the first place in theGroup, eventually they all made it out. Group Stage 2 will be played today.

The groups for the upcoming Starcraft 2 tournament at Sweden DreamHack Eizo Summer 2013 have been announced, out of the total 32 groups, only few catch an eye at the first glimpse.

For example we have Group 14 with SwedenZerg Najzmajs, South KoreaTerran Sting and NetherlandsTerran PoYo , then there is Group 15 with NorwayZerg TargA, SwedenZerg SortOf and SwedenZerg MaddeLisk, apart from these two the rest have two pro players and two unknown players, but it's not hard to see some upsets.

The sad part is that a bunch of the Korean players such as South KoreaZerg viOLet, South KoreaTerran Polt, South KoreaZerg Symbol, South KoreaZerg DongRaeGu, South KoreaTerran SuperNova and Protoss monchi, FinlandTerran Naama, SwedenProtoss SaSe, GermanyZerg XlorD canceled their participation.

Today in a Twitter post, the Mexican terran player announced that he will be leaving South Korea Team 8 as of today.

The reason behind this move is the fact that South Korea KeSpa is lowering the number of players by 4 and he is one of those four players.

Terran MajOr posted:

"It was a nice experience, i dont regret anything i done here so far, im happpy with the choices i made mistakes or not."

This makes for the following roster in South Korea Team 8:

  • South KoreaProtoss Argo(C)
  • South KoreaZerg Check
  • South KoreaTerran Cure
  • South KoreaTerran Neige
  • South KoreaProtoss Pigbaby
  • South KoreaZerg Savage
  • South KoreaProtoss Terminator
  • South KoreaZerg TRUE
  • South KoreaTerran TY
  • UPDATE #3: CS GO tournament at Dreamhack Summer 2013 is completed. All those who predicted "end of NiP's domination" should stay quite for the next big event. Despite to shaky start at the group stage, in playoff Sweden NiP showed completely different level and was just unbeatable. Check updated article for bracket, results and final standings.
    UPDATE #2: Group stage at Dreamhack Summer CS GO is finished. One of the main favorite of entire event Denmark fnatic has left the DH Summer from the group stage. They have lost two times to Sweden Lemondogs. Check updated news for the bracket.
    UPDATE: Battles in Group A and B are over. The first sensational result came from Denmark Western Wolves which crushed Sweden NiP on Nuke map [16:2]. After that, NiP played against Sweden Team X in playoff's decider match and was one step from abyss. During the match Team X had 5 matchpoints, but NiP came back and won the match in two overtimes [22:20]. NiP reached the playoff, but does it mean that total domination of NiP is over? Playoff will answer!

    Actually Group B is the "sickest" group at Dreamhack Summer CS GO. All teams in terms of skill and teamplay are pretty close to each other. The main disappointment came from Germany /10/ team which showed impressive results at online leagues recently, but at LAN they failed. Most probably this happened due to lack of LAN experience. Also, sad situation is occured with USA Team Curse. The only team from North America left the event right from the group stage. By this, from Group B in playoff we will see Denmark Cph Wolves and Sweden Epsilon.

    Today games in Groups C and D will be held. Groups are filled with Norway H2k.mix and Finland Cursive respectively. Those teams won the slots via BYOC tournament.
    Dreamhack Summer 2013 Counter-Strike Global Offensive Groups, Results, Bracket, Stream and StandingsAlmost all big names will take part in upcoming Sweden Dreamhack Summer Counter-Strike Global Offensive championship except France VeryGames and Ukraine NaVi.
