It is only Axiom or mouz in the race, the others are all qualified already. Seeing Axiom already has their full lineup (incl. Grubby) there, they seem to be quite confident they'll make it.
Flash has only 800 points He needs to win the WCS Season 3 regionals and/or finals (or get second at least) Not sure points from here will make much of a difference if he doesn't make top 2 in the season 3 WCS
Hohoho, it shall be funny. Also, i will wait and see how bad they will perform from jet lag, food poisoning and whatever :D Also, why the heck KeSPA sent sOs to DreamHack? is it kind of prize for being finalists of AIMAG (with Flash)?
Not too surprised to see Flash and INnoVation but I'm genuinely surprised to see sOs going. Should be great especially when adding in the SC2L players to increase the field's strength even more

Anyway, sOs in player list makes me suspicious for question: Why the heck he would sign-up? I predict him (and perhaps Flash) pulling out of this though. Or sOs changing teams + Show Spoiler +
I'm expecting the entire EG and TL lineups to be there for the SC2L finals as well (TL and EG are rank 1 and 2 respectively so I'm assuming that they'll be put on different sides of the playoff bracket, thus meeting in the finals if they win which they very well could).
That would mean HerO, Jaedong, Taeja, aLive, Oz, Revival, JYP, Huk, Demuslim, TLO, Ret all possibly added to the lineup. The Acer team doesn't need to make the finals since they'll be there anyway, same with Axiom.
So TL and EG making the SC2L finals wouldn't just be an incredibly hyped finals but would also level up the Dreamhack lineup again. Imagine the lineup if all those players are added to the tournament.

Only the Grand Finals (Top 2) get to DH Bucharest, right? And I think Axiom planned to go to DH Bucharest a long time ago.

Only top 2 will be there.. just the finals.. so 2 of the 4 teams.. Liquid, EG, Acer and Mouz

Not like Europeans won any since Bucharest last year (Nerchio Poland represent! xd), but I get your sentiment, just isn't it like this for a while? Anywho, sick lineup just hoping for Jaedong to be in that mentioned additional players!
Holy shit, the lineup is sick, sick good, way better then I could have possibly imagined, and best of all, I'm so happy I signed up for this, I get to meet my favorite players face to face!!!
Wow what a player list. Bogus, Flash, sOs, MMA, HyuN, Alicia, CranK, Ryung, Stardust, Supernova, Symbol etc.. wow. Yeah maybe it's missing some big names like JD or Life which sucks but still Incredible list, especially KeSPA guys like Flash. Can't wait for this!
Thank you very much for the thread. Info is awesome.
Can I say though? Looks really ugly... I just want to see the listed players but the format is an eyesore. Obvious mistakes such as the player Phoenix being TL'd instead of the team Phoenix and the team Alien being linked to Verdi's TL, but more important to me is the format being difficult to look at.
Aww, no Scarlett, Taeja or Hero? Its still summer Taeja, come win another championship. I guess ill just Root for Innovation and TLO, and Pray that MMA somehow regains his former success and wins this.

Hold on. I know that you put a "possibly" in that sentence, but Demuslim leaving the lair..to board a plane..to cross the American boarder..to attend a European event? That sounds pretty far out, man.
Well, with Proleague over I guess all the KeSPA players now have a ton more free time to dedicate to single player tournaments and free reign to go wherever their sponsors deem it financially viable. Glad to see both Flash and sOs.

Once again EG has stated that if they make the SC2L finals that the players who will be competing in that will also be able to compete in DH. I am pretty sure Jaedong with his fellow Korean teammates will be at that finals (assuming they make it) which means they can also attend DH.

Considering Innovation has won WCS finals, made finals of WCS korea where as flash has only made ro16 in code S yeah he's definitely favored. I would put a lot of players over flash tbh. It's nice to hype him and all, but he really isn't looking like a "omg best player ever" or even close to a "god" in sc2.

TL and EG... make it happen. go to SC2L final.. (and also wish for Nani there) and we will have the best lineup in a tournament since Hots is released. DREAMhack.. gogo
I think I'm hankering for an Alicia win, or at least top 4. He's had a couple flubs recently, but twice as many games where he holds impossible assaults, or wins with pathetic odds.
If this is officially confirmed in the end, I guess it's KeSPA's compensation for Flash and sOs chose to play the Asian indoor sport thing (for the honor of Korean representative, yeah) and gave up the MLG seed. Flash did say that KeSPA promised him a compensation.
I find it hilarious that there's a Protoss called "aceR" in TLPD and there's a Protoss icon next to every Acer player on the list even though Acer has 0 Protoss players.

It looks like - at least from a brief glance at the standings, that the top 16 will only change slightly this season (given it's relatively safe to assume that the only foreigner who can make a deep run in both these stacked events is Naniwa/maybe TLO or Grubby) If you look at the disparity in points between top 16 and the rest there seems like only a few people who can realistically get there unless ridiculous shit happens like flash wins everything in the next two months. Hard to say though, yes. Just pondering
This thing is like 20 minutes walk from where I live and it will be my first live event. Hopefully in those 7 players Naniwa is included as well. But I wouldnt mind having Taeja or Hero neither.

Awesome lineup, realy looking forward to this tournament. Would be nice if jeadong,bomber, and scarlet played as well. Then it would be the best tournament ever for me.
Maybe grubby can take it, ha ha. Well , one can dream

Well in this thread you find out he doesn't play in DH at all so does that count?
Oh dear this is going to be good with Flash and innovation... But in reality they'll probably end up dropping out early and the finals are gonna be PvP or something weird like that.

This is a good point. Scarlett and ForGG are very scary there at 18 and 19, but the next 4 players after them are out of WCS and therefore more or less out of the running. Grubby and MMA have a shot. I dont think Hyun does based on his recent play. After these guys you get to the really long shot people who need to get top 2 in there region to have even a shot. Another big thing imo is that the vast majority of the AM points could be horded by those 6 players already above Naniwa in points: HerO, Taeja, Polt, Revival, aLive, and Jaedong. Same principle applies to KR with Soulkey, Inno, sOs, Bomber and Maru. This is actually best case scenario for Naniwa: The rich get richer and therefore prevent most players from cracking the top 16.
Honest question: Since all of Axiom and most of Acer are already going to DH, should DH just cut TL and EG a break and just invite them anyway? I mean, the reward of the top 2 making DH is much less cool when 2 of the 4 teams in the playoffs are basically fully invited anyway.

DH does´nt give out invites; it is about signing up. Also DH does not pay flights, so it would still be very nice for Axiom/Acer to get top 2 in SC2L, since they would get the flights payed this way.

Ah ok that's very true. It does make me wonder why TL and EG didnt just sign up anyway tho and are instead hinging on this teamleague, while the other 2 were smart enough to just signup regardless.

They shall send 5 players for SC2L finals, if they will get there.
They should have signed up anyway just in case like Acer and Axiom did. -_- Why rely on a team match win when you can just sign up?
They are Signed up. The last 10 players have not been shown so they will not spoil the SC2L results.
Uhm, so you spoiled it?
Not sure if I spoiled since I don't know the results, but it's common sense :D
Now you say, its pretty obvious, but it's pretty dumb as well. At least they should have announced DH to allow to reveal the acer players post SC2L results.
Oh well, some Taeja, Hero. I'll take them any day, so can't really complain. :D
Anyone coming to this event and doesn't have a ticket, shoot a PM. I've got 2 invitations today, so I've got 1 spare. We can meetup before the event and I'll give it to you.
Too bad NaNiwa is not going to Bucharest. I'd have loved to see AureS beating him once again. But JYP isn't there either so it wouldn't have worked I guess.

To be fair this top 4 is not certain. Innovation vT is weak so if he will get unlucky bracket that has ForGG in it, we may not see him in top4.
Well TvT is nto innovations bast matchup, but is far from weak. Only players who beat him TvT were Bomber and Taeja (close series) and recently Hearth in a BO1. Other then that he is quite ok in the matchup. Loosing to Bomber and Taeja can happen even to the greatest TvT players
