oGsMC is Finally Back and Wins Home Story Cup (HSC)

Protoss President, oGsMC is finally back in form by winning one of Europes finest tournament, Home Story Cup (HSC), the first SC2 tournament in 2012. The Boss Toss or Kratoss Protoss has finally been out from his multi months slump which landed himself out of Global Starcraft League (GSL), Koreans most prestigious SC2 tournament. Having clawed himself back into Code S, MC's play is looking stronger and fiercer than ever. Having achieved a third place in the previous Home Storey Cup behind Huk and Naniwa, MC once again is seeking his first championship since his slump. His hunger and thirst for a win here has never been higher from his multi months slump.

Finally, oGsMC manage to claim yet another championship. Home Story Cup is a very prestigious SC2 tournament hosted by Dennis Gehlen, or more oftenly known as Take by the community at his very own apartment. Players and contestants will enjoy a never seen before casual surroundings and fun atmosphere. However, HSC has often been lauded for one of the most competitive scene due to its high profile Korean invitees facing the very best the Westerners has to offer. 7 Koreans were invited into this HSC alongside 25 other international high ranking players such as Stephano, Thorzain, Socke, Nerchio, Dimago and others. Leading the Korean onslaughts were 2 time GSL champion and the eventual HSC winner oGsMC, multiple GSL 2nd placer, MarineKingPrime, Violet, Liquid's very own Hero, upcoming Startale Star Sound, EG's new acquisition JYP and Protoss player Real.

In the end, the 6 of the final 8 players were Koreans. This
shows the Korean domination in HSC and international scene once again. Dimaga and Nerchio were the two only foreigners manage to claim their spots in the top 8. Nerchio was ripped apart by oGsMC in a straight 3 set wins. Nerchio seems to be playing at his worse when being faced against the Protoss president. Nerchio was completely dominated by MC. However, Nerchio is a much better player than what he has shown as he manage to knock out to PvZ player, LiquidHero claiming himself a top 8 spot. Nerchios nerve seems to be getting ahead of him facing against one of the best player in the world. Dimaga won the first game against JYP through a long 50 minutes game of endurance. However, JYP proved his worthiness in Evil Geniuses acquisition by winning the next 3 straight games.  

In the round of 4, MC has to face JYP another GSL Code S player. Through history, PvP is probably MC's weakest and most random matchup during his international events as he has been knocked out multiple times by other Protoss players such as Huk. The semifinals were very hard fought by both of these Code Sers. In the very end, MC manage to claim a victory by the slightest margin. In the finals, MC is being faced with upcoming Startale Terran Star, Sound. Sound has been regarded as one of the strongest Terran player from team ST and even above Bomber by some players. MC proved that why he is the best Protoss in the world now by taking up 4 straight sets without dropping a single map against the Terran. Thus, MC claimed the first Starcraft 2 tournament in 2012. This marks a perfect start for the Protoss President. We will definitely see MC perform better in the coming GSL matches. Finally MC is lusting for his third GSL Championship having won the last one nearly a year ago.

The Protoss President is finally back with more solid plays, crazier micros and superb decision making skills. Let's pray for a Protoss GSL champion once again that is currently dominated by Terrans. Congratulations to oGsMC for winning Home Story Cup (HSC). MC is $7,500 richer.

  3. HomeStory Cup is my preferred few days competition. That's not an unusual viewpoint, even with so many excellent alternatives out there.

    1. I like everything you write, I did see you won´t be posting more about tournaments and the like but, heck, before I discovered this blog I didn´t even know who was Idra, let alone the korean players and their matches. So you should consider keep posting about them.

      I know you can´t come with a new strategy every day but you are GM, you can post what you considered helped you the most to reach there (macro, micro, apm, etc) and more tips about them. Do you have a cutom set of hot keys? if so share it with us and, again, give us tips.

      I was stuck at gold for over a year and it was thanks to you (and also a bit of thanks to my void ray+1 all in vs terran) that now I´m plat.

      If you want me to see in Diamond (An I know you want that)you better keep this blog up and running :)
