Chronology

HomeStory Cup XV

HomeStory Cup XVII

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.

The American Qualifier, initially planned for October 7^[1] was postponed due to admin feeling sick^[2] to October 21 and, due to low players' number^[3], definitely canceled.^[4]

The event was played on the Legacy of the Void test mod.

Format[edit]

Two group stages:
- All matches are 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 will advance to the Playoffs:
- Playoffs will be single-elimination, Best of 5.
- Grand finals will be 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.
