That's pretty funny indeed.

Btw, nice tournament anyway. I like the freshness of the new expansion, and wonder where the meta will go. However, i'd like to see a bit more of HotS just because the meta was stablised, and we could see very strong, and solid games ( which could be boring for some people ). Hope the meta will be stabilised soon, despited loving to watch how players try to accustom the wildness of the game | ||

Has Parting won a major tournament yet? Nerves seem to have always been his weakness (despite his cocky veneer). | ||

However PartinG wasn’t able to finish the series off after taking a 3-1 lead, allowing Solar to perform a comeback and take his third DreamHack title, putting the Samsung player only two trophies behind top dog TaeJa. Taeja won 4 Dreamhack tournaments so this would make Solar one trophy behind TaeJa, not two. 4-3 = 1. | ||

But I won't quibble on that. | ||

This is a esports news site and team before anything else, it has to stay on top of recent results in a clear fashion (frontpage, like any journal / sports site). You should not come here at all if you expect no being exposed to recent e-sports news. | ||

Games were great and really deserved to be played on a big arena as usual in DH:Winter events. I still think it was a good idea to do a more foreign style tournament, as I was really hyped for this event, it had many foreigners + huge prize pool. It felt like they wanted to put Starcraft back on the map, but they really didn't mirror this hype in the level of production+caster lineup+getting more crowd sound, we heard more sounds from other games than our own crowd. LotV is great, but Dreamhack is still Dreamhack. | ||

Let's face it, while TL is a nice news site, it's really nothing special in that regard and there are thousands of such site online for each and every insane nonsense people decided to be newsworthy. However as a community forum, TL is pretty unique. The staff need to recognize that and support what's really valuable instead of trying to live their childhood dreams of being a journalist. If you can list a single important news site for SC2 aside from TL and Reddit which essentially only has reposts of tweets or TL news, I'll be impressed. | ||

If you wanna see it that way, sure. But you also can't ignore the fact that there is no news site for SC2 aside from TL. So the whole "there are a million news websites about X" argument doesn't apply here. There actually isn't a single one of these websites that covers SC2. Of course we're aware that TL combines a lot of different website features in one, and we'll try to balance them as well as possible, but we have always had news coverage on TL about the biggest events, and that at times includes tournament results. | ||
