Great news and all, but why are we having this 2 weeks after DH Summer, just move it 1 week earlier so that non-EU players dont have to travel home and back again.

Nah, tournament are always a plus, I am just trying to see why cant we have the full experience better. Remember how HSC last year was smacked right in the middle of GSL and non of the top KR was able to play? Its a shame if the scheduling become the reason why the fans and viewer cant have the full roster of top players in the world competing.

Because it just doesn’t work like that. I also think HSC would love it if they could guarantee more players, but there is a lot that goes into deciding dates and so on. And last year they had approval from ESL/Blizzard for their schedule (I cant remember which) but they forgot HSC was scheduled and allowed GSL to schedule over it.

A lot of people would say having the tournament the weekend after DH is also worse because its too much having the back to back weekends of big events

Except it can work like that. You can’t just say it doesn’t work like that without providing proof. You clearly don’t know the situation directly so don’t pretend you do. Taketv is allowed to disprove this, not you.

Never stop fighting~

I have zero experience with hosting SC2 event, and I know that TakeTV has lost money on doing HSC so I do feel bad for them. This is not me trying to shade the organizer for trying their best at keeping the scene alive, I will always support SC2 tournament for the sake of the esport and players. However, I do feel a trend going where tournaments are scheduled with conflict / inconvenience when it doesnt have to be. Now, maybe there are lots of things going into this like you said, so I have no idea what I am saying at all. But I do know that asking somebody to do do inter-continental flight 4 times in 2 weeks, plus the jet lag in between while asking them to perform at top condition is humanly improbable. Maybe this has happened a lots before in SC2 scene and that players are totally ready for it, so I guess I could be wrong again.

Problems I can imagine:
– Players still would need to pay for the travel from Jönköping to Krefeld.
– Players would need to pay for the stay in-between tournaments, so a full week payment for a hotel that for sure no one will cover
– Where do said players train in the meantime? The TakeTV-house is probably in full preparation for HSC, so players would need to find gaming cafes or whatnot to train during the week
– If players boost their income with streams, they might lose a full week on that income because they can’t properly stream on travel
– With only one week in between, especially for the players doing a deep run in Sweden, there is little time to prepare for HSC. Fatigue also might kick in at some point, considering how much games especially players from the open bracket might have already played in Jönköping…and then you have instant travel, hotel stay and no place to properly grind
