In the playoffs, all matches are best of five, and the grand finals is a best of seven.


YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

This honestly makes Dreamhack so much stronger as a tournament. The prize pool is great, as usual for winter, and the player lineup in both strong and interesting. Very excited for this.
There will be no justice in this world until SoO wins a gsl.

I really like this format much better than the Blizzcon single elimination format which is dumb imo cause these players fight and scrap all year for these wcs points and then all that work can be for nothing if you lose a single BO5 and its even worse this year cause RO16 will be played online a week before Blizzcon so they are traveling but for 8 people its not even to play in a live event but to play in a live streamed event just silly imo

There will be a crowd (albeit small compared to the BlizzCon one) for the Ro16 too.

In the group stages there probably won't be much difference between the 1st and the 2nd of a group, it will probably be decided by goalaverage. So I don't understand why in the final bracket the group winner starts ahead by two bo5 compared to the 2nd one. Being 1 bo5 ahead ok but 2 bo5 is too much in my opinion.

I don't like this style of tournament which reminds me of the MLG. You miss many games and you don't really see the tournament winner because usually he wins with just 3 games in the final bracket. Also usually the grand final is a rematch of the winners final.

Go ForGG anyways.

Would be nice if DH didn't have as much downtime as they have had.

I'm almost not looking forward to this for that very reason.

Yeah and I'll be one of the people in that small crowd making the long trip from Florida to Anaheim for Blizzcon just like I have for every Blizzcon before this years its just annoying I've never been a fan of single elimination tournaments like IEM World Championship I hated that tournament more than anything especially the winner take all prize pool albeit it was different and epic but it was also stupid at the same time second place gets nothing COME ON!!!!!! just dumb IN MY OPINION can't stress that enough so all you who disagree don't flame me it's just an opinion

Wow, amazing.... just amazing. As someone said, this is going to be as good as Blizzcon with players of this caliber and Bo5 playoffs with Bo7 grand finals? The amount of awesomeness is enormous!
