Deck Lists
We'll have deck lists available for the top 16 soon.
Can't wait to see the decklists. :]
When are we gonna get winrate stats post Naxx? I keep coming to see if they're ever gonna be posted front page and all I see is...this other stuff.
Does anyone have a link to the full bracket/results page over the last 2 days? I can't seem to find one. Thanks.
Just riveting post game interviews.
Any VODs up of DH day 1? Starts at 1am here and was over before I woke up. There's no mention of Dreamhack at all on the Viagame site.
So the pro players automatically get put into the top16? That doesn't seem fair to me, especially if they're eligible for the prize pool.
Clearly they've all earned it...Kappa
I know it's really hard, but I'd love to see more people get a chance that's all. Half and half isn't too much to ask for is it?
Thats not completly right. Its 4 or 5 countries and they are the main sponsors for the ESC.
