We are proud to announce a partnership with Topcoder to host the first annual Humblefool Cup Scholarship Award for a budding competitive programmer from India.
Topcoder is excited to bring back the Humblefool Cup in fond memory of Harsha Suryanarayana (humblefool).
Harsha is considered to be the best coder India has ever produced. A Topcoder member since 2005, humblefool – as he is known within the coding community – was a TCO Finalist twice. Up until his tragic death in an accident in 2014, humblefool was at the top of his game in SRMs and personally trained and motivated many other members.
The Humblefool Cup is organised every year to preserve his legacy and contribution to the Community. This year will be it’s 6th edition.
The Brackets Club is honoured to host a scholarship opportunity as part of the 2022 Humblefool Cup at Topcoder and we look forward to announcing the $500 winner during Topcoder’s virtual event as part of the 2022 Humblefool Cup on April 11, 2022. Register for the event here.
