With the Legacy of the Void expansion being 5 days away and the WCS Finals starting this weekend, there is a lot of hype within the StarCraft 2 community at the moment. With all that hype, PSISTORM Gaming came in with a clutch move and threw a last minute Last Hurrah Heart of the Swarm tournament.

The tournament had a prize pool of $500 and some big named players such as TRUE, Solar and Patience from Korea, Masa, puCk, NoRegreT and JonSnow from North America, 4 Europeans like Zanster, GungfuBanda, Tefel & Namshar from EU, and 2 from SEA Seither & Law. The tournament also felt like a small friendly invitational, and worked to its advantage which helped pull in a decent viewer count on the PSISTORM Gaming stream with about 500 viewers. The stream had Pughy and PSISTORM’s very own Freeedom casting some fun and friendly matches with inside jokes. The tournament concluded with True taking first place, puCK in second, and Zanster &  in at third & fourth.

For a tournament that was organized at the last minute, it was very well done and fun to watch. Hopefully, we get to see more of these, PSISTORM Gaming Friendly Invitationals once Legacy of the Void comes out.  For now, we prepare ourselves for this weekend’s exciting WCS Finals  and the release of LotV. Congratulations to the winners. Thanks to all participants and casters. Special thanks to everyone who came and supported PSISTORM’s Last Hurrah Heart of the Swarm Tournament.
