2022 DreamHack SC2 Masters: Valencia

The qualifiers are over and the groups have been drawn: now the 2022 Season of DreamHack Masters is ready to begin!

This year, DreamHack Masters is returning to the live-centric format that was originally intended prior to the global pandemic. Regional tournaments will continue to be held online in similar formats from the 2020-2021 seasons, but the previous online Season Finals will now be held live at DreamHack events (overall, this is a very similar format to Blizzard's WCS during 2015-2019). As the tournament's name suggests, the DreamHack Valencia festival in Spain (July 1-3) will host the grand finale for this season of DreamHack Masters.

This also means the return of open bracket qualification for the Season Finals. Winners of DHM regionals will still earn direct seeds into the later rounds of DHM Season Finals, but other players can still compete in the live season finals by starting in the open bracket.

Another big change in the 2022 season is the easing of region-lock restrictions for Korean nationals. The top six players in the most recent GSL Code S cycle will be invited to compete at the live DHM Season Finals, and other Korean players will be welcome to compete in the open bracket (unfortunately, participation is likely to be somewhat reduced due to Korean travel restrictions for men at conscription age).

The first week of regionals will be held from May 18th to May 22nd. The European regional will hold its first week of round robin groups (RO32), while the Latin America, Oceania+Rest of Asia, and the Taiwan/Hong Kong/Japan/Macau regionals will be held in their entirety. North American and Chinese competition will begin on May 25th.

Now we only need announcement that they will use the TLMC16 maps ESL uploaded last week. Would have been better for EU to learn it earlier this week.

I actually think Milkicow has a realistic shot in group if he can bring some good builds

I dont think they will change the map pool for the Regional tournaments, maybe for the main DH tournament in July.

It's nice that the ~~two United Kingdom~~ New Zealand and Pakistan representatives didn't end up in the same group together. It'll be interesting to see if they can both make it through.

The usual PvP group D could be rather fun, but favorites should mostly cruise. As another poster pointed out, maybe it's worth keeping an eye on Milkicow though.

North America bracket looks pretty awesome. Is Asuna in NA right now? I haven't been in the loop for awhile, just confused as to why Asuna from CN is playing in NA.

He is studying in America.

Asuna

"He studies in North America from 2017 to now and participated in many American tournaments."
