So has it been explained as to how all three EG members ended up in the same group? This event was great but I found it annoying that an entire team had to cannibalize itself.

One of them was 2nd in the first group stage

Seriously, this event was terrible as a home viewer. Couldnt find the right streams, links were broken, streams would freeze up, showing different games, random casters, random(and terrible,amateur, innapropriate, etc...) hosts ruining celebrations, awful music. Maybe Im not 'in tune' with euro esports, but high-production value not withstanding, this shit was amateur. Couldnt have cared less about the finals TBQH even as a fan of both players, and the arena looked awkward. Oh yeah the 'couch' was dumb too. I dont need 6 'experts' weighing in after each match. Just my honest opinion. Cant wait for MLG.

Dont worry MLG will have the couch also ^^.
PS. If you have used the triple stream you shouldnt have problems with finding the right matches. Especially when there was the list of matches, times and on what streams they were shown.

PS. Are you really from US? I heard twitch don't lag for US.

Nice writeup! As some has mentioned though, day 1 and parts of day 2 were ruined by laggy and stuttering streams for a large portion of us Europeans. I don't know who's to blame and I don't care, that shit has to go for future events.

great tournament. great wrap up. great pictures. awesome. glad to see that sen's play was not overlooked. tough loss for him, but at least he knows that he got beat by the person who won the entire tournament.

Well there is much more to stay expect for the fact that I had more to say

I do totally agree with you on most parts and concering the couch I think 3 is perfect number atleast for a quick tournament like dreamhack, I dont know how long other take between games but mlg usually takes a bit of time with lobby creating etc, which would give them even more time to fill space with casters analyze and talking. How ever I think this should not only be used neccesarily for filling time but it is a great entertainment to have between games and whole sets on times in the tournament to let the casters talk about what they have seen in the games and the results of the tournament in total.

lol wtf is wrong with you.
On day 1 there were stream issues, that is about the only thing that is true about your post.
random casters? Tasteless artosis mr bitter day9 apollo totalbiscuit is seriously random to you?
seems like a majority of people really liked the couch, and its a perfect way to get over the downtime between the games
arena "awkward" lol..

Stream issues on day 1 were annoying, but were resolved for the rest of the tournaments.
There were multiple streams, with a pretty easy-to-access schedule - i don't really think it's DHWs fault if you can't find the right stream.

"Random casters" - well this statement right here is a little bit confusing; the tournament had the best SC2 casters that are current except for maybe Husky at the moment. They provided quality insight and really great commentary.

"Couldn't have cared less about the finals" - go watch them again and see how epic they were; the games, the casting, a nail biting Bo7 series.

"The couch was dumb" - well, not according to the vast majority, but hey everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I have absolutely no idea how your DHW experience went so wrong, but you really are a unique case. I think it is a combination of personal circumstance rather than DH messing up.

Great read! Love the players that stood out because they weren't the obvious ones like HerO and Puma, but people that didn't make it past the RO16 and could only really stand out to someone that was there.

That marine suit in pieces is all that's left of PuMa after our gallant (and handsome) HerO vanquished him.

PuMa's partner-in-crime can only look on in reserved, abject hatred, that someone took what was his.

Seriously, those photos can probably spawn a mockumentary of sorts.

Things inside such venues just take on a different air. They're the kind of places where Michael Jordan carried his team in a crucial playoff game while suffering from the flu, and Metallica reached the height of their powers and assaulted the world with some of the greatest metal performances to date.


You're old.

Great write up though!
