DreamHack Valencia Invitational

The star players for DreamHack Valencia Invitational have now been set after the Spanish star LucifroN defeated his brother Vortix this evening. The last two players presented are no other than the Korean stars HerO and Rain who will fight for the 100 000 SEK on the 17th of September.



Around the corner is DreamHack's second Invitational hosted at beautiful Veles e Vents building located in the Valencia Street Formula1 Circuit and the 33rd America’s Cup harbour. Tonight the Spanish Champion was decided between the two brothers LucifroN and Vortix. We welcome LucifroN to DreamHack Valencia Invitational and we are sure he will do an impact in the tournament. LucifroN is one of the most successful European WarCraft III players with great achievements, Runner up of Blizzcon 2008, ESWC Masters Cheonan 2009 Champion and winner of BlizzCon 2009 European Regionals.

DreamHack can present Team Liquid’s newest addition to Valencia, HerO. The feared Protoss player had a strong showing at MLG Raleigh and just qualified for GSL October Code A. The last player to be presented is none other than Fnatics power Terran Rain who lives in USA nowadays. He was the runner up of GSL Open Season 3 and have had strong showings at the last two MLGs.

The Chinese player Infi has unfortunately canceled his participation due to restructuring of TyLoo’s RTS division.

In September DreamHack will host Valencia Invitational with 8 of world’s greatest players attending. Today we’re proud to reveal the first information and the first player to be announced today 22th of July in a Showmatch.

Valencia Invitational is still a By-Invite-Only event to please the audience on-site and millions of fans around the world that watch it live on livestream. DreamHack select players based on achievements but also popularity and earlier DreamHack participation.










Same format as Stockholm Invitational – one Spanish player
Just like, Stockholm Invitational, we’ll have 8 players playing a single elimination bracket, starting 15.00 CET and Grand Finals 21.00 CET. All matches are played BO3, except the Grand Finals played in BO5. A slight difference from the Stockholm event will be that one tournament slot is reserved for a Spanish player.

- In order to provide the Spanish StarCraft 2 community some extra excitement we decided quite early in the process that we need one slot for the local community, says Tomas Hermansson, Head of eSports at DreamHack.

The Spanish player will be decided today, 22th of July, in a showmatch at 16.00 CET between the two best Spanish players Pedro “LucifroN” Moreno Duran and Juan ‘Vortix’ Moreno Duran. Both of them had a WarCraft 3 career before they started to play StarCraft 2, with LucifroN having the best international results, winning ESWC Asia Masters and runner-up at BlizzCon 2008

- They are brothers and they got the skill to upset the professional players in the Invitational tournament. Vortix play Zerg and Lucifron Terran and we have an interesting TvZ to look forward to, says Manuel Jiménez, Head Admin at Canales Corporativos, DreamHack’s local partner in Spain.

Everybody can watch the showmatch via livestream at www.dreamhack.es. Only Spanish commentators will be available.

In the upcoming weeks we’ll announce more and more information about Valencia Invitational, including invited players, commentators, tickets and streams.
