Glad to see the whole Liquid line up there!

Wow great players. Can't wait to see the others also.
Dreamhack rarely disappoints
|
Nice list so far, so many more too be announced as well o:
Should be a great tourney :D
|
Why is Moon not attending?
edit: Still a great list of players. Dreamhack is always awesome <3
|
So many good players!
Grubby fighting, he has been so good lately.
|
Really hyped for this, so many awesome events!
|
Article doesn't say where it will take place, I want to go!
|

|
This is gonna be one sick tournament I can feel it already!
|
Invite MVP and this is the world championship of SC2!
|
This tournament is going to be so awesome. Can't wait to see Sen play.
|
i am sure this tournament gonna be so awesome
|
Good to see 2nd place gets a prize this time 
I was heart broken after the MC vs White-ra Series at Stockholm
|
Waiting for the Balkan qualifier
|
Nice, this will be so sick!:D
|
Great invites! Sick players.
|
why is lucifron not attending?
|

No Moon?!
Not that it was expected but...
 wanted to meet the Fifth Race again.

This tournament will be so stacked.

Hey look, nearly no EG members.. going to Korea by then anyone?

Awesome, and i will be there for the finals- woh! woh!

MC is everywhere.... nice!

Also the DreamHack South Europe Regionals Winner LucifroN will be replaced by SarenS.
A bit dissapointed with him. I think Lucifron could do great if he doesnt begin with Donraegu like in Valencia. He did great in IEM qualifier winning Stephano, Dimaga, etc.

Hells yeah, traveling from S. Korea to Sweden is clearly impossible judging by the invitees.

The prizepool is fucking sick. The first prize is around 29.860 usd!
|
Looks so solid... I watched Orly's run in MLG, hopefully he does well!
|
Wow, that's a lot of sick players!
EDIT: Moon not attending?! NOOOOOOO!

Excited to see Happy. He really is very good just chokes

Dreamhack winter/summer is in Elmia, Jönköping, Sweden.
Jönköping is a small town (9th largest in sweden) in the center of the swedish bible belt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jönköping
|
The banjo is attenting!!
Pretty good lineup so far
|
Is Dreamhack one of the tournaments IdrA boycotts? He once said on stream that there are three.
|
the lineup already is more impressing than IEM and MLG combined

France12905 Posts
I hope that MarineKing will be invited :D.
Nice to see that many french players, Stephano will probably be invited too and maybe AdelScott.
Too bad we won't see LucifroN again for some time T;T
I'm also happy to see Genius invited, even if I'm not specially a fan of him more different players invited is nice!
|
1st ~ $30,266
2nd ~ $13,617
3rd - 4th ~ $5,295
5th - 8th ~ $1,512
Nice!
|
Just to clear some things up:
The reason there was no 2nd prize in the Dreamhack Stockholm Invitational was because that tournament, and all the other Dreamhack ones this year, was mainly qualifiers for Dreamhack Winter 2011. This is THE Dreamhack Tournament ^^!
As always the tournament is held in Jönköping, Sweden 24th-27th of november I think !
|
Moon is still a pro WC3 player. This may sound like a small deal, but in actuality, he probably has more fans in China alone than most SC2 players do in the world O_o. That's probably why he can't make
Gogo Whitera and MC!
|
Oh god so much talent already in this thing, there's going to be no easy groups when we get to that stage.
|

A bit sad that moon won't be there, I suppose it's because he will play war3 for the rest of the year.
Lucifron is better than sarens imo, that's a lose.
But really nice line up.

Gotta jump on the bandwagon... Where's Moon? Please tell us his reason for declining the invite, or whether he's still deciding...

Poland3751 Posts
Yes.
It's time for Nerchio to finally shine in the non-online event.
|
|
|
More qualifiers would be awsome but I guess when theres so many slots I dont have to worry. I imagine almost all the really good players who want to attend will be able to
|
that is a sick sick lineup. just wow, i'm so pumped for that event!
oh yeah, i want to see Moon!!!!

No, he's been at like every single Dreamhack.

Wow, sick lineup...should be an awesome event!

Holy shit half of europe is going to be there! Wouldn't hurt with a few more KR/NA players though i guess. So far the starpower is just phenomenal.

I will take a wild guess: either it's cause he's training for WCG or the fact that he is teamless.

No jinro?

This is one way of lpoking at it, but when sooooo much of the field is arbitrary invites anyway, it really makes those other tournaments meaningless - the people who won them would have gotten invited anyway (in most cases, like the Stockholm invitational you're talking about. If they want this to be the culmination of a series of tournaments like mlg, they should do it that way, but as it is now all those little tournaments are really just showmatches.

Haha, I'd never heard of the bible belt, I knew there where many christians down there, but I didn't know we had a term for it
I'm contemplating going there, do you need a computer ticket in order to get to sleep?

Sad Moon isn't attending, but I'm glad he's got his priorities straight.

Cheapest for you would be ryanair to gothenburg and then taking bus/train to jönköping, stockholm is pretty far away from jönköping.

Oh nice saracsm not really though lol 3 (if you count Sen since he's in Taiwan) players isnt enough to validate your argument. Look at why theres no koreans in I think its the NASL (might be a differnt NA tourny) cause just getting to the US from S.Korean (which is geographically closer) is difficult, so maybe you should keep your arguments to yourself next time, just saying

I think all American players should be forced to go through a fierce open bracket with just a couple of spots left to even reach normal pool play, just like they make the Europeans do in MLG.

American players don't make EU players do anything you realize that right? MLG makes people do things...

Definately, because what we need more then anything is tournaments replicating eachothers mistakes.
That said, let's hope they'll invite at least a single top-level korean T.
|
Longing for the finals in the big Arena Gonna be there
|
So amazing. I hope they have a lot of Korean invites/qualifiers
Is the group play made up of Bo3's? Cuz then you have a min of 288 games played in the first two days ^^

Currently there are three invited North American players. There were more Europeans then 3 in regular pool play at MLG, even though Sjow and Naniwa turned down their spots.

considering they're already sending oGsMC, the oGs house should send a terran their way in oGsForGG or oGsNaDa

I hope Stephano gets to participate :3

ehm... why? I mean, I love watching tournaments that are balanced in terms of everything, races, skill etc. And with top korean T (which are MVP and MMA) it's not really that much fun, they just roflstomp everyone and win the tournament... That doesn't seem like fun to watch (at least to me). It's the exact same reason, why I think ESWC will be better than Blizzcon this weekend (I plan to watch both, but there's no real fun in Blizzcon, since MVP/Nestea will win it and there's not even a doubt about it).

Shaping up to be one of the best events this year for sure

As some of you might have noticed sports 36 through 64 are still to be announced, so there will be another 29 players....
Rest assured that most of your favorites that have applied should get in.

probably worth putting in the current exchange rates in the op for people who arent swedish :D
200k kronar is the same as ~$30k, £19k or €22k

Ret's gonna be tearing some nerds hearts out.

I was surprised when Moon was announced at first so this was quite expected. He's not on a team which means he would have to pay the trip out of his own pocket. Add to that that he's been playing WC3 primarily as of late in preparation for WCG and would have a very hard time competing in SC2 right now. Expect to see more of him once that WCG trophy is his!

Of course there is an unfairness.
There are three major Starcraft regions, NA, EU and Korea.
Korea gets 4 spots for free for every MLG due to "being so far away and thus it would be unfair for them to have to travel all the way without even getting a free spot".
NA is already there. EU has to pay for themselves and has to qualify. Either way, EU gets the shaft.
If Dreamhack would do the same as MLG, they'd invite the Koreans but force to NA players to qualify and knock each other out in an open bracket with hardly any spots to compete for and no prize money. Guess how many NA players that would show up then?
To be frank, I do not want Dreamhack to do that, but the argument shows how absolutely rediculous the MLG system is.
|
I believe that Moon stopped playing sc2 in favor of WC3...It's speculated that he quit sc2 entirely
|
|
|
fuck yes, good chance i'll be there!! \o/
Going to meet grubby hopefully

Gonna be so damn good. I'm so pumped.

btw SaSe said today on stream, that he is going to Providence and Dreamhack, so I guess another player is confirmed.

So many players not on that list, can't wait to see the whole thing!
Hope they can convince more popular Korean players to attend. The community should look to send some entertaining players again, sending marineking to MLG was a success
Bit hard to arrange this with this announcement format though... can't chip in before they accept the invite anyway, and if they accept they are already going in the first place.

how tlo and haypro always gets there atleast theres no incontrol

lol it seems like dreamhack looked at the player list and thought.. hm who do we invite. TEAM LIQUID

Going there. Yes!

Incredibly boring list so far except DRG.

Yeah and a good choice, both good and entertaining players to watch
I love to watch TLO nuke / steal techlabs and what not. Love to see Ret drone and go 4 hatch before the 10 minute mark. Haypro hovering behind pillars, Jinro arriving late flexing his ogs-shirt and sunglasses.

Looks like a pretty good list of players to me, Liquid fighting!

Haypro has done fine mlg's. You'd be hard pressed to find 64 better players (out of players that have applied). Also I wouldn't hold my breath about Incontrol, I think there is a pretty good chance he'll be invited.

DRG is boring. What is special about him? His ZvT is about mutas control only. Weak in ZvP and even lost to the unknown Gatored, and ZvZ is nothing special either.

Yay Sen!! Hope he gets revenge on MC =DDD

Well he's still good. That can not be said about more than one or two others on that list.

Moon doesn't need a team to send him. He's well-off enough to fly anywhere on his own.
But yeah, he most likely declined to focus on training for the WCG. And yes, he's still teamless.

Back in the days of Dreamhack Summer EmpireHappy dominated the EU ladder but didn't get past the group stages. I'm interested to see how well he will do this time and did he upped his game or not.
Also hope to see Israeli top dog Osho will play in the tournament, although I doubt he will.

I would prefer MKP and MC (who's already on the list) simply because they have more interesting personalities.

All Koreans have personalities, despite what many seem to think.

Never trust Naniwa to know what he is doing!

really hope Sase can get a spot.
|
Is there anywhere where we can find the results of the online qualifier ? Or even the list of players of the qualifier ?
|
Good stuff! The flags make me think that this dreamhack is being held in a UN convention center! International SC2 fighting.

This has been his only high finish. Seems a bit out of place considering who else is slightly above him. Dare I say a tier or 2 better than him.

Copenhagen games - 1st over Morrow (3:0)
GosuCup - 1st over Nerchio (4:3)
IESF - 2nd to Sjow (0:3)
and the aforementioned ESWC where he lost to Mana then MarineKing.

@Copenhagen he was 3e I think.
Compete cup 1st over Happy (3-1)

When you say stuff that are blatantly not tru maybe you should o a little more research before you post. Fine if you think Grubby shouldn't get an invite but at least don't base it on faulty premises.

Fine if you think Grubby shouldn't get an invite but at least don't base it on faulty premises. He got 3rd at Copenhagen Games, yeah. But to be entirely honest Grubby has not had much success at all so far. It might change, but only blind fanboys will claim that he is a successful SC2 pro.
