Yeah, seemed like it was a bit small of a caster crew with only two otherwise. Probably not gonna go in person unless Naniwa is on the finals day. | ||

Lots of koreans again.. a nice change from the previous year of DH where it was very few koreans. I like this mix of strong EU players and koreans.. makes for gg's i agree with Geoff. really looking forward to this. such a STACKED tournament... GOGO PiG! hopefully he can turn some heads! :D | ||

It's around the same Koreans like any other DH tournament and swamped with our Euro boys. Not only that but guys like Polt won't be going and the rest of the Koreans are pretty mediocre in caliber. I think a lot of the European players are bigger threats than most of these guys and guess what? This is the norm when it comes to Dreamhack tournaments. It's the usual suspects. | ||

I think you are wrong, there are a ton of very good koreans. Ok most of them are underperforming at the moment which doesn't change the fact that they still can pretty much outplay almost any foreign player. Plus there are a lot of those players that have been absent from the scene ever since HOTS release because of one/two series lost, so in two months they might be way better than they appear to be (DRG, Supernova, Sting ...) But then again, you're saying that Violet, Squirtle or Symbol are mediocre ... | ||

But then again, you're saying that Violet, Squirtle or Symbol are mediocre ... There are 15 Koreans. That number is not unusual for a DH. Almost all of them are on Western teams with a handful from ESF teams. You said it yourself a lot of them are underperforming. Jaedong did just beat PartinG in PL on the biggest map of them all, but I can still write him off because he's still very weak against Euro-style Protoss and there are several very good European Protoss players in this tournament. I already went down the list of all the players. As for DRG, Supernova and Sting. DRG is still slumping. Supernova I cannot comment on because I haven't seen him recently. I'd like to put him in the same breath as GuMiho but even his play as been lackluster. Symbol might be Korea's best shot. As for the rest, nah. | ||

Sad that I won't be able to watch any of the tourney. Looks like an absolutely fantastic lineup of talent. | ||
