It was a lot of fun but these tournament organizers make it difficult to find info on games that aren't SC2, Dota or LoL. haha

If anyone would like me to update the OP with any more info please let me know!

Yeah, I thought of this... then I looked at all the other guys who finished in 2nd place in the online qualifiers and saw that herO and Hydra are at IEM but NightEnD and Bong should be available. I think it was extremely late notice. DreamHack just made the announcement yesterday. :-/

Due to late cancellations from the teams Copenhagen Wolves, Ninjas in Pyjamas and Team Ultra Vires DreamHack has replaced them with Team Property, Tricked eSport and LowLandLions.

Massive drop in quality in the LoL competition.

I'm backing NiP! It's cool that they're coming in to this tournament as underdogs.

I'd love to see CPH do well for once, too. That team has so much promise, yet they consistently underperform. They could be a wild card this weekend.

You never know, it might be all 3 of them and ForGG and Sjow pass lol. Unlikely but crazy stuff have happened before.

Edit: Group C is 9 hours away so its safe to go sleep now and wake up for it in time.

oh wow. I usually tend to ignore stream chats and I don't even read comments/forums on sites that follow CS, but last I remember everyone was a NiP fan.

if there are any upsets, it has to be an American team just because I'd love to see everyone's reaction.

wont happen though. Us Mercans suck at CS :(

gonna be a great weekend. CS, SC, Ultra SF4..sucks being in America though. I'm getting no sleep this weekend

I gotta say NiP really impressed me with just how dominating they were for such a long time and it was fascinating to watch. I don't have that one Team I'm rooting for, Very Games is really good as well so let the best team win.

Quake is still probably my favourite esports title. Duelling is so fun to watch and it requires an immense amount of skill. It's a shame the game has fallen by the wayside in recent years. It deserves to be much bigger than it is.

Indeed. Its quite disappointing after the excellent EMS finals a month or two back. Tosspot is a pretty bad caster, too. I've never liked him.

Apollo and Nathanias , i really like the chemistry these two brings as a caster duo.

Semi off topic but i think the caster duo and trios during Blizzcon was a disaster for most of the times.

Ling/Bane/Muta should be the only way ZvZs are allowed to be played.

No, really. Blizzard needs to step in and banish mass Roach vs mass Roach games out of existence.

Also, TaeJa vs INno Game 3 on Yeonsu is beautiful. Map is perfect for TvT positional play.
