Watch Live

Oh rip. I missed it #feelsbadman!
is this live now, have I missed it?
go Sjow!
I'm somewhat surprised people still watch these. Haven't HS tourneys been solved at this point? Just queue in the ladder and face twenty people with the same handful of netdecks. Pretty much the same thing. This sounds very negative, but I honestly don't know what to enjoy here anymore. The novelty wore off.
No choose your champion?
Dreamhack is not a Blizzard sanctioned event
Only HCT events have choose a champion
Wrong, there where several other events this year alone where you could choose a champion.
Actually you are correct but I don't recall there being a non Blizzard sanctioned even doing it
