HCS Cup #1 Cancelled
This may be old news to some, but in case you missed it the most recent HCS Online cup has been postponed. The first online cup for HCS Season 2 was scheduled to occur on Saturday April 25th. However ESL and 343i cancelled the tournament on the Thursday prior due to stability concerns with the most recent MCC patch.
It’s going to be very interesting to see how quickly 343i and Microsoft can fix this issue, that was all but eliminate from the build before it. Most fans, including myself see this patch as a step in the wrong direction. An ongoing issue that only further hinders the community. I understand that 343i’s main focus is H5, however for those fans that are looking to play MCC in the meantime and even after, stability of the build should be the number one priority.

Pistola Officially Joins Cloud9
It’s been rumored since Ninja was booted off of Cloud 9 that Pistola was the likely replacement. He has been scrimming online with the team for a few weeks now, however no official announcement was made. It was rumored that it was because of contractual obligations with Evil Geniuses. However today on Cloud9’s site the roster has been updated.
Should be an interesting Season 2 of HCS. Currently Cloud9 has been struggling in Scrims with other teams. They usually perform much better at events, but the online events are just as important to earn valuable points.
