HomeStory Cup V is the centre of attention for the European StarCraft2 scene for the rest of the week, as the event held in Krefeld, Germany, from Thursday the 5th of July to Sunday the 8th will see 32 players in action, competing for a first place prize of $10,000.  Amongst the field are such high profile names as four time GSL champion Mvp, two time GSL champion and defending HSC champion MC and Dreamhack Summer 2012 champion MaNa.

Representing Team Acer is the Eastern European combo of Acer | Nerchio and Acer | Bly. Nerchio faces Socke, ToD and Naama in Group A, while Bly has ClouD, IdrA and BlinG in his way in Group B.  Play begins at 14:00 CEST.
