BRACKETS & LIVESTREAMS
Nordic Nationals - Finland
Playoff starts today at 17:00 CEST and here you can find the bracket for the Finland Nationals.
Why does France, russia and germany get a free spot in world champ when sweden doesn't?? Doubt anyone with an objective view wouldn't rate sweden as 2nd SC2 country after korea.

Because Blizz is giving away spots based on how well SC2 has sold in each country. Russia, Germany and France = big countries.
So I see the Sweden Nationals don't have a specified hour, I suppose they're starting after all the others right? (around 20:00 CEST or so). Any info on that?

I have no idea. When do you plan to arrive to the event? I think they're not super-hard enforcing any times on this, but then I wasn't at DH:Stockholm so idk.

I don't think his PvZ is that bad anymore, he had it very close against DRG in GSL and he said on twitter he feels the most confident in that matchup now. Yesterday may have been an exception because he supposedly had a headache.

And you cannot look at one individual tournament in order to decide how good someone is.

Just saw a Korean Music Video on the stream. Something like "chungnam style". Can't google this, because google changes it to "change name" >_> Anyone got source or a youtube link? Would be great.

to make it clear right away: im neither trying to troll nor be a negative nelly.
but im kinda surprised that the wcs seems to be not as popular on location. the dreamhack events have always been flooded by spectators. how come this event isnt? the viewer numbers are actually pretty good i would say. for being a national wcs event that is. are all the swedish nerds on vacation or whats the matter?

Pretty sure it has to do with that they just started the Swedish finals and that you don't see everyone when they are at the bars on the balcony's.
