Groups 8, 11 and 13 are difficult imo.
And I dont understand why Star Station and Neo Planet S are still in the mappool.

Second stage is funny. Dimaga and Flash in the same group teeheehee. Nerchio and StarDust (hohohoh) and whatever.
|
This is going to be stacked ! Too bad I can't watch 
|
I think it will be hard for the main stream to choose which group stage games to broadcast, simply too many good players!
|
So final starts past midnight. Not surprised, classic Dreamhack way of doing things as always. They really prefer american audience instead of europeans.

Lads and gentlemen: we got a grudgematch!

I find it completely unacceptable to let players play that late at an ‘offline’ event. Also, 23/32 of the seeds are Korean, what do they base the seeding on?

Yeah, its pretty funny how Sjow was top-4 last time and now he has to start from beginning instead of some korean who has never even played in any Dreamhack event.

I just hope it will be ForGG for the deja vu with sickest game of tournament being sOs vs ForGG :D

Group 2 is the only totaly broken group ^^
underdark nightend ANd elfi ? oh my god
|
Those seeds are so weird.
Who is:
FXOpen Hurricane (P)?
Quantic Gaming Venus (P)
FXOpen sC (T)
StarTale Avenge (P)
and wtf have they done to get seed. Or is this somekind of deal with DH and korean teams. If they send players, DH will seed them to group stage 2.

You might not know them
Hurrican just won the Honkong Tournament.
Avenge has put on very soild performaces in GSTL and WCS
Venus has done well in Team Leagues
and sC was at ogs ones, and now he is back in old shape.

How do you not know who Hurricane, sC or Avenge are?

I thinks there is an error on group 8 it should be Heralds of Apocalypse Mitz instead of Apocalypse.

Sjow not getting a seed is almost as silly as people not knowing who sc, avenge, or hurricane are.
|
Seriously Star Station and Planet S in the map pool... ffs Hellspawn!
Even worse than TheBloodyDwarf not knowing the names that dominates GSTL.
|
|
|
The random TLPDs in the OP make my head hurt.
Anyway, this will be awesome, albeit a long sunday evening
|
I think I will engage my usuala DH mode: ignore until Sunday, then watch the shit out of it. Really, Saturday will be just random games of SC2 without any structure or significance, there is too much going on to follow who plays who for what reason. On the other hand, Sunday will probably be as awesome as ever.

Nerchio and Stardust in the same group, looking forward to that at least!

mappool is boring

Was not motivated enough to go.

So basically foreigners have to fight to the death, for the right to die to koreans. I like  .

Yeah, only bad thing about this tournament. Too bad.
|
Hwangsin has a pretty decent group, so he should advance from the group stages feeling comfortable.
|
Looks like a pretty tough silver for Jaedong, that tournament is stacked. I believe in the Dong though
|
well havent seen much of life recently.. maybe his time to shine again ?
|
Wait Life is playing 2?? Since when? this tournament is gonna be SICK CITY!
|
Kind of crazy when you see some of these names in the first group stage. Just tells you how insane this tournament is gonna be, when someone as good as Daisy isn't seeded.

No one is super interested in the first round groups, it's all about what pairs are in round 2! SICK lineup incoming.
|
EG teamkill curse continues.
Love the diverse nationalities there.

Doing a fantasy pool for this, it's pretty fun

Ill probably start watching at Group Stage 2. I think that will be when the action really starts.

Hurricane is also FXO's ace lately.
Edit: and sC is a legend, he's been riddled with health problems (collapsed lung) and military time stuff , but has been playing since the get go including a legendary series against Nestea that should have been the finals (that was the season Nestea wiped the floor with Inca).
|
Have they not changed the map pool since Stockholm? It's pretty boring.
|
I think that the guy who asked who the Hurricane, sC and Avenge are, trolled you all, HARD. ;D

Such a shame, since he fell out of the RO32 at WCS not attending this DH could seriously endanger his chances of attending Blizzon finals.

Yeah. Always good seeing some one from your home country.
|
Nice to see quantic sending some players other than HyuN :p
Otherwise all the group looks absolutely sick,even with 2 people.
(And group stage 1 fighting gogogo Bunny,Aures,Sjow,ToD,hwangsin,daisy,waCk and the hometown hero nightend ! )
|
I cheer up for Jaedong to win the tournament
|
I can't wait for Group Stage #3 =).
|
This tourney is ridiculously stacked, possibly the most stacked tournament all year.

I.... uhhh.... do you not watch the korean scene of SC2?
Looking forward to dreamhack though!
|
Life is playing....
Wow really fun tournament atm
not only because of Life, but look at all the players.
|
Good to see almost all of the Koreans seeded while high placing participants from past Dreamhacks have to fight their way through the first groupstage...
That seems a wee bit unfair or biased.
|
A lot of cool groups. I'm so stoked for this Dreamhack

Those are all pretty big names. Not sure if trolling.
|
Should be a good one! 
|
@everyone who is wondering where Naniwa is he is seeded directly into group #2 along with a few other people
Nvm that was IEM so where the hell is he?
also I had never heard of hurricane before but sC? Who has not heard of him
He was a sick player who just took a bit of a break, these same people are probably going to want to know who Scarlett is when she comes back in a few months... Seriously peoples memories are so shot these days

Naniwhere

Sick how many good players are in this, tho i miss MC, couldnt see him there, and ofcourse Naniwa, where da hell is he?

it's not exactly DH's fault that you don't know some of the stronger Korean players. i don't know who Venus is either though to be fair

I am so lucky that i got a spot!!!!
I will play 3 bo3 and than i will have the best eSports weekend. Ever!.

Oh nice to see sC hurricane and avenge there
|
I don´t really see, how Venus got a Seed over Ret/NightEnD/Sjow/Daisy/Hwangsin/elfi. Accoridng to aligulac he has a 1080-rating ( As a comparism: That is outside of the german top 10; elfi (Group stage 1) has about 500 points more), career earnings of 250 Dollars and 0 WCS-points.

Hurricane was formerly known as Tear. Maybe the name change confuses people!
