rain is capable of beating parting. leenock vs parting could also be an interesting match. JD vs parting would be pretty hype too although he would probably get destroyed
Very much looking forward to both seeing Fantasy play and see how he does. He's been looking great recently, especially against Protoss. Will be rooting for him.

Parting could lose early in the single elim bo3 by a lot of them and just get knocked out. Still think Parting is the favourite to win it all but anything can happen rly. Can definitely see Polt or MMA beat Parting in a bo3. Then he's ded

She's back, for now at least. She's trying to qualify for WCS too.
She sad she was playing Dota only 'cause she wasn't in both WCS and SSL so no reason to tryhard Sc2 without events. That's probably why she was enjoying another game

Nope, she said she had no passion left for sc2 and is going to school soon. She's only sticking with sc2 cause there's not enough time to switch to dota before the next school year basically.
every time someone posts this video I just must watch and repeat the ~1:35 section a few times. JD!
and some people seem to think Parting should just be given the trophy already? in a bo3, I can definitely see someone like Rain, Leenock, or FanTaSy (who's become something of a TvP beast) taking him out. I'd like to see how ForGG does, I know he has it in him to take this home, with truly great TvT and TvZ, but don't know how he'd match up against a top Korean Protoss these days.

Really this is the first DH you would skip because of a poor player pool? I've seen a lot worse.
I agree. I could quickly pick out a lineup of 13-14 koreans from this player list and 2-3 of the best foreigners which would make a seriously pretty badass Ro16. I think I definitely can recall at least a couple DH last year with a significantly weaker field if we looked back.

Parting's LP page's achievements section is absolutely fantastic, he has been running around Major tournaments taking easy money left and right. I am actually a little surprised that the "Premier" section doesn't look that bright, but that's probably mainly because he was not able to participate in all of them during his stay on SKT T1? Anyway, how everyone now considers him the Final Boss of Multiplayer (for foregin tourneys) is quite awesome. If anyone is badass enough to deserve such position, it is definitely Parting. This should be his tournament to shine.

Jaedong gonna wreck both of them
That would be the dream of all dreams :/ Along with Bisu returning
Polt - The Captain himself, polt will always be in my heart, it's impossible to not love him and his skills. MC - No words needed, hes a legend! NaNiwa - Get ready to taste swedish steel! I hope he''ll be in good shape when this kicks off. White-Ra - Wow! What can i say, first time i watched dreamhack, i think 2011, i saw some guy looking a bit older than any other of the competitors, i didnt know who he was by then but i soon got to find out and only by hearing the interview with him made u fall intantly in love with the character, what a humble and lovable guy. If there was one man on earth to be cloned, this would be the man.
As long as these are on the list i dont care of the rest tbh ;D To see White-Ra in that list made me extra happy, just to know he's in the tournament makes u feel warm. No White-Ra, No Dreamhack!

Nah, in france the dreams is, that Adelscott suddenly reappears and curshes everyone. I'd gladly accept a defeat for some of my favorite players here, if that happens, just to see the crowd explode.
