In for Dota 2 and Starcraft 2, with maybe a splash of CS. I'd add a splash of LoL as well if the schedule weren't so insane.

Mainly Dota2 for me, maybe some SC2 games as well. Synderen's already up there casting with Tobi. And without sound.

Dota2 has started, but there is no sound and nobody seems to have told them.

Mouz banning Lich once again, they really dislike playing against him.

Did Mouz change SingSing's role? lately I've seen him only playing very supportish heroes like Enigma, Venomancer or like now Pugna. I liked the rambo mode QoP SingSing

I've yet seen a tournament where I'm impressed by the crowd in the first few hours. I'm sure the crowd will be much bigger and more exciting as the tournament goes on

There isn't a huge amount of seats for the dota 2 games, So I wouldn't expect too much crowd participation to be honest.

Looks like Darer are stomping TTB, so they next game could be just as one sided.

These two casters for Quake Live are a joke.

Killsen's kid has to have surgery and they're like 'He shouldn't have told us 30 minutes before the even started.'

Is he supposed to be a psychic? Or is he supposed to ditch his kid for a match?
 
It's kinda frustrating that in a tournament like this we still get these huge breaks (they're not even showing ads). Surely there is something they could be showing, even just the commentators interacting.
 
SC2, SF4 and Quake Live

All 720p stream and all are free, god bless Dreamhack and Sweden's internet

Who are the QL casters? Will they have 2GD at all?

He said he'd be doing some content in a form of interviews and such so I wouldn't expect much.
