So I don't understand why in the final bracket the group winner starts ahead by two bo5 compared to the 2nd one. Being 1 bo5 ahead ok but 2 bo5 is too much in my opinion.
I don't like this style of tournament which reminds me of the MLG. You miss many games and you don't really see the tournament winner because usually he wins with just 3 games in the final bracket. Also usually the grand final is a rematch of the winners final.
Go ForGG anyways. I dislike double elim just because a (non group stage) rematch takes away some of the hype. However, DH is usually really good about having lots of community streams so you can catch most of the games. Also, I don't see it say anywhere that upper bracket players start with any advantage.

From 16 players from Blizzcon 11 will be here, only Zest/Polt/Bomber are missing from the big names. This lineup si so so sick. November will be a good month for SC2. Can`t wait for it.

Actual map pool BO5, damn it I fear for herO(and basically any Protoss player). I know it's winter, but my guess is Teaja :/

This will be at least as good as Blizzcon

I don't like the losers bracket format.

As long as no group gets stacked with just terran or toss, there's good potential for the tournament. Nice prize-pool too.

How can dreamhack afford donating all this prize money to players?
