Public holiday made us having a little smaller grid. Diablo III did so too. Instead of 256 players we went for 128, expecting a lot of people to be drunk and not really being able to compete. But we've been proven wrong! Those games we've seen yesterday were pretty awesome, partially really intense. That being said: check out the VODs from your favorite streamer. The ranking got updated and now it's slowly but surely getting really close. Enlist for the 9th qualifier now - we'll see you 2012-05-24 at 18:00 CET/CEST!

It's been one of those epic evenings again. Quite a lot of laughs to be had, stunning matches and outcomes no less. An awesome lineup of players has been the key to this evening. Within quite a lot of new community players we've seen some new progamers as well. They know that they still do have chances to grab points in the ranking - which is now updated as well, check it out.

As usual, with the last qualifier being done, we're hereby opening the signin for the next round of entertainment and competition. Enlist for the 8th qualifier now - we'll see you 2012-05-17 at 18:00 CET/CEST!

Well done, ladies and gentlemen. ZvZ micro finals? We had them. The ranking got updated and we do see some changes there - go click "show full ranking" on the right side for all the details and statistics. Thanks to ESET for the prizes which were raffled out to the ESET Masters Facebook fans! Qualification round #7 is now open for signing in - see you next weeks Thursday, 18:00 CET/CEST!

Looking for more action? Have it tomorrow, starting at 18:00 CEST! SignIn is still open, enlist now and participate in the sixth qualifier, now with a new mappool and some smart changes to the rules.

The new pool contains these maps: HomerJ Daybreak, HomerJ Antiga Shipyard, HomerJ Metropolis, HomerJ Shakuras Plateau, HomerJ Entombed Valley, HomerJ Bel'Shir Beach and HomerJ Cloud Kingdom. Also new: ro16, ro8, ro4 and ro2 may now vote/veto their maps from the pool. Only ro256 to ro64 have their maps predefined. Check out the updated rules (section §7) for more details on that.

You may call it some kind of weird or best kind of awesome - we're not fully sure ourselves. But it seems to be related to the HomerJ Show anyway, because it only happens in our cups really: games and matchups with that "oohhh", "aahhh!" and "LOL!"-feeling. Qualification round 5 confirmed that again, since the first game of the evening had some serious laughs again. If you do speak german we highly recommend the VODs on HomerJ.de as the whole evening was quite fun!

The ranking is updated as well and we do see some tendencies now. Sure we have seven more qualifiers left where players still can compete for money and ranking points - but some gamers already have quite a bunch of points and will probably hardly be beaten out of the top 12. Doesn't count for the lower half yet tho. So get ready for round 6. SignIn is opened!

Quite a nice final we had there in the fourth qualification round! But we don't want to reveal results here, just check the ranking if you like to know. You definitely should not miss out on the video footage - especially our HomerJ-stream had some serious fun commentary again. For english and french coverage check out the stream links or the website links to the right.

We've also set the rest of the dates and the SignIn for the fifth qualification round is now open as well. Enjoy! :]

The SignIn for the fourth qualification round is now available. Thursday, 22nd of March 2012, 18:00 CET. See you there!

Snipe! [wait] Snipe! [wait] Snipe! ... Tactics, ladies and gentlemen. That's what the ESET Masters are about. This time we had a quite noticeable participation grade of korean players. Quite a bunch of the TSL guys were within the grid and they've dealt some serious damage to their opponents. Eventually the first and second place went to those guys, leaving everyone else behind. Quite an achievement - looks like the european players definitely do have to watch more korean replays and tactics so they know what to expect from those guys. We'll see on the next qualifier, we guess. Enjoy the updated ranking and the included statistics - to your right, below the table, click "show full ranking". Next clash: Thursday, 22nd of March 2012, 18:00 CET. See you there!
