I think that those "qualified players" re in to play the regional finals that will take place the same day. The invitational think seems like a show off tourney to atract visitors and plaeyrs from all the world.

For people who played WC3 Lucifron is hardly unknown. :/

Lucifron is a well known player in TL. He was #3 in TL ELO in the beta. Then he was in fnatic and played some tournaments. He has a liquipedia page:

In WC3 he was a great player too, he went to blizzcon and WCG.
And Vortix is #12 in Europe Grand Master.

I think you are right, there are two tournaments:
- regional tourn: 2 best spanish, 2 best french, 2 best portugal, 2 best italian.
- invitational: 8 pro players.

dreamhack exporting their awesomeness to other countries. I like =)
Now if they manage to get their streams to be as perfect as in Sweden we know it's not just the Swedish internet that makes it possible.

Vortix is Lucifron's brother I believe.
They are the best spanish SC2 players around, and Lucifron was very good back in the beta and shortly thereafter (until he quit  ). Vortix is good on the EU ladder, not sure if he has a WC3 background or anything tho~~

Dreamhack in Spain? too good to be true ^^
|
huk idra select whitera thorzain socke? I'm pumped

Regional Finals will not only be a Spanish celebration of games and digital culture but also a regional event open for Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian gamers competing in Counter-Strike 1.6, StarCraft II and Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition.
Starcraft AND SSF4:AE?
it's like combining chocolate with bacon. WONDERFUL!

The good thing is that Telia (The internet provider/sponsor for DH) has a IP backbone that cover most of europe.

Vortix 3-0 TLO once in a showmatch

huk said on his stream that he will be in spain
is there another tournament beside this in spain?
|
they are qualified for the regional finals not the dreamhack invitational.
they might get invited though.
and lucifron&vortix are not "unknown spanish" players, lucifron was top5 euro on wc3 at the end of it and won a major wc3 lan tournament with moon etc attending, he was top3 terran during the beta of sc2, and he has amazing ladder stats.
vortix is his brother and is equally skilled
they just do not attend a lot of tournaments because they arent full time.

DH never cease to amaze me, i loved all the previous DH tournaments and i'm sure this one won't disappoint!

Yes, The Campus Party (a big lan event) will hold another tournament in Valencia as well. I think the prize pool is something like 9000 €.
Btw, I hope I can go to the invitational :D

Damn... i will be on vacation... in France... what an irony >.<

Sounds amazing, stockholm was probably the best produced event ive seen in esports.

That seems logical :D. I'm sure Lucifron is a good player, but i haven't seen him compete before so that's why he's kinda unknown for me ^^, i have heard his name before though.
What your saying seem very logical though. Looking forward to seeing the Invitational , The last Dreamhack invitational was awesome :D

Another DH Invitational? If it's the same production value like the one in Stockholm, this will be absolutely amazing!
Dreamhack never cease to amaze me.
