dont know about Aftonbladet, but SVT(Swedish public service tv!?) are going to have a stream, dont know if theyll only cover the sc2, maybe theyll have multiple streams.

SVT will stream but not the hole tournament. I can't say how much right now, but they only broad-casted the final during the winter tournament.

Just curious, but how come Mana is not automatically invited even though every other runner up from a DH events is??? He was my favorite player last winter.

I think the game was intense, and Idra had MC on the ropes for sure. He could have won but got pawned by a bad engagement. As for the LR thread on the day, pretty much everyone was saying how good a job they did casting. You are in the vast minority by complaining about them.

could you be more specific, had him on the ropes does not really say anything, I'm re-watching the game now and so far it is as I remembered, idra ahead in supply but it is an all roach supply which is very weak against protoss as it is easily countered by stalker, which is the main unit a protoss player will usually have in his army, and immortals.
as the game moves on it is 4 base vs 4 base, but mc has the gold and being on the same number of bases is very bad for a zerg player. mc is also getting templar tech which is great against the hydra mix that idra is going at the moment.
also at this time mc has a huge stalker count with blink and idra decides to go broodlord instead of ultralisk even though broods are terrible against mc's current army. also stresses what i was talking the commentators are praising this decision from idra even though he has blink stalkers to counter the broods and colossi to handle the broodlings and hydra and almost has psistorm which is good against both hydras and broods. also supply 187 vs 183, idra trying to take a 5th base, not gold, mc also ahead on upgrades.
mc taking a fifth as well, this time apollo says that broodlords are not good against blink stalkers curious because only a minute ago demuslim said blink are bad against broods.
mc getting a second stargate and a fleet beacon, hard to say if he wanted that for upgrades or carriers, probably carriers as idra is using corruptors to make broodlords.
huge engagement stalkers focus down the broods while psi storm and colossi destroy the hydras gg

so while idra was ahead in supply after an early counter attack he was never in a position where he could take out mc and because of this and the damage that mc did early with his phonexis mc was able to continue to keep up with idra's expansions while always having the correct unit composition to take out idra's army.

based on watching the game again i still dont see that idra had the advantage with the exception of his roach counter attack and just after but that did not damage mc enough, and not a much as mc damaged idra earlier. im very interested in hearing you take on the game though

I would love a 2on2 tournament on DH aswell, could just be hardware prizes or something and not necessarily on the stage.

Well im not watching it again so what i remember is all im basing this on. They had an engagement between MC's natural and his third where Idra almost completely destroyed MC's army, i thought he had lost at this point but Idra just pulled back and from then on MC was just fighting for survival. The longer the game went on the more "safe" he became. Idra losing the game was down to him sending in his BL to attack his gold unsupported and he lost many to MC's stalkers blinking in. When his support arrived some beautiful storms hit his hydras and Idra gg. As for individual comments i cant remember any of these but over the whole tournament they did a brilliant job. Everyone pretty much said so in LR and if you follow TL you will know how rare that is (outside of tastosis).
I wont be responding anymore, they were your only three posts and to use them by complaining about DH is laughable, it was the best tournament ive seen and all three of the casters/presenter together with the production made it so.

Seems kinda weird to me that they invite the runner-up of the Coin Toss-tournament, but not the runner-up of DH Winter! Would love to see MaNa play anyways and hope he makes it in somehow!
Sorry if this has been talked about earlier in the thread, just didn't see any posts about it.

Love Dreamhack, I just wish they would change the "almost-everything bo3" thing.
Nothing wrong with having bo5/7/9s, especially if it's determining the champion of that epic event.
