Chronology

HomeStory Cup XIV

HomeStory Cup XVI

HomeStory Cup XV is a StarCraft II Tournament hosted by Dennis "TaKe" Gehlen.

The HomeStory Cup, organised by Dennis "TaKe" Gehlen, is a tournament where TaKe invites star players from around the world into his home to compete and socialize with one another. Providing multiple streams and interviews over three to four days, it is a fun atmosphere for both players and fans alike.

For the first time since its Third Edition, due to low participation of players and other circumstances, the usual EU/NA/KR Qualifiers did not take place.^[1]

Format[edit]

Two group stages
- Best of 5
- Ro32 stage: 8 groups of 4 players each
- Ro16 stage: 4 groups of 4 players each, see Group Selection Procedure.
Top two of each group from the second stage advance to the bracket
- Brackets are single-elimination, best of 5
- Grand finals are best of 7

Group Selection Procedure[edit]

Ro16 groups were selected according to the following procedure:

The top 4 Ro32 group winners (ranked by match and map score, ties broken by drawing lots) were distributed into the 4 Ro16 groups (alphabetically by ID).
The remaining 4 Ro32 group winners drew their group assignments from a hat.
The four groups were filled by the second place finishers from each Ro32 group (again drawing their assignments from a hat).
- Any player who drew a Ro32 opponent again drew a new group.
Top 4 Ro32 winners were then allowed to change groups with any other player (the highest ranked player having the final selection).

For a full walkthrough of the actual group selection, see this post on TL.net.
