Oh, and if you go to the link and scroll to the very bottom, there are two faqs that answer your question. yes you have to buy a ticket and sign up using a form that they link.

So glad to hear about this! I was at the 2024 edition and it was an excellent event.

Given ESL said they are out, does this mean that DreamHack itself is running the tournament?

I guess "no invites" means noone gets payed trips, or is it something else?
Can someone confirm if invited players were getting their travel costs covered last year?

During the EPT years, players who qualified through the regional or GSL get paid trip, the rest do not. I assume there will be no paid trip this time as there is no regional tournament.

That is exactly what it means. Teams or players have to pay for travel costs.

who are the commentators... getting worried there's gonna be no way to watch at the event

edit: https://old.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1kqqzed/dreamhack_in_four_days_hello/mt7pli1/

Lots of top players will attend. SC2 stage is next to chess.

Casting and observing will be done long-distance (ZG, Piggy, Wardi, probably missed someone? +Indy observing). No Rotti on the main broadcast unfortunately due to travels/scheduling conflicts. Indy mentioned production will likely be done from Katowice.

There's a good chance a full player list won't be available until after everyone checks in in person as it's open sign-up.

This explains why Reynor and Trigger weren't part in the Qualifier of GSL S2 as well. Kinda forgot that this was right around the corner.

So if Clem or herO end up in top 4, would top 8 get considered for the qualification to EWC? Or they would push that to the Global Qualifer?

Honestly, I find the open bracket quite hype. I love watching supreme players plow through the competition.

Who remembers Naniwa's legendary open bracket run at MLG 2010 (or 2011), where he 4-gated through the entire open bracket?

Also, it's funny to see the big names next to such players as "BigDaddy", "Copium", and "Spoonmaster".
Mutation complete.

I am hyped to be there. I knew I should have signed up to get crushed in the tournament, but I know I won't be there in time on Friday and I would hate to be a no-show.

Looks like they're barely gonna fill half the bracket. I wonder if they accelerate the tournament, or they're just gonna be fine with Day 1 being extra short (the games were gonna suck anyway).
