Hopefully he shows some GGs  Happy is easily one of the best players in the world. I mean the guy has the highest win% on the EU Grandmaster ladder at 83% The only one win a better win% is Thorzain but he has only played 7 games total (7-0). Happy has 418 wins and 81 losses. Since when does ladder % mean...anything substantial with regard to best players in the world? It means you're good, sure, but by no means does it prove conclusively that you're among the best in the world. You need tournament results - most preferably live - to prove that. Until then... edit: To clarify, I've heard others state that he hasn't performed in tournaments. If I'm wrong, by all means correct me. I believe it was Nony who stated that ladder % really doesn't mean much. Many better players have lower percentages due to the fact they prefer to treat the ladder as a playground in which they can practice funky or innovative builds/refine them.
As surprising as it may seem, having a bad ladder % typically does not mean you are bad -- lots of top players just play around off-race and stuff like that -- but having a phenomenal ladder % it's almost a guarantee that the player is absolute top notch.. just look at all players above 75% in the ladder in EU and US and make your own conclusions.

I hope KiWiKaKi and SeleCT are invited too so that the best player of each race in NA can be there. Don't forget that KiWi rolled over IdrA and Huk at MLG Dallas (not to mention Socke and SeleCT).
Also don't forget that IdrA rolled over Kiwi in IPL and SeleCT rolled over Kiwi in a recent BO7 :D

This is great! Although, i hope to see The Gracken invited as well
Let's hope that Dreamhack gives us just as excellent quality as they did during the Stockholm Invitational.

I'm going to have to try and watch it or atleast follow it this time.

Happy goin show us da banshee harass! And MKP oh shit.
|
Wow Dreamhack will be soooooo gooooood
|
Whoa that was scary... for a second I thought WhiteRa wasn't invited, but I just wasn't keeping up with the previous announcements. That's really cool to see MKP and DIMAGA invited! This tournament is looking very solid! I'm hoping MKP takes another second place for the lulz!  (Plus second place with all these players would be an amazing result.)
|
Hope to see HuK excel in this tournament!
|
MKP and HuK! This is huuuuugeee!
|
sure as hell hope they invite the T-Zain sometime soon

User was warned for this post Why was he warned for this? Isn't that Anypro's nickname? Anypro is to Simpsons as Jinro is to Gorilla.
This. That mod doesn't know anypro's nick. If he says that's a one word post, there's plenty of them here.

Huge invites.
This is going to be a GREAT event.
I mean come on MKPs first international "offline" event and --correct me if I am wrong-- Happys first offline event as well.
I can't wait until the full player list and details are finally released.
Keep it up Dreamhack :D
|
Well, we know who is going to get second place now.
>.>
|
Can't wait for this! What an event this is shaping up to be, wow, just wow
|
Happy is going to be great. He's definitely one of the major players in the European scene currently and hopefully this will give him the exposure he deserves.
