DreamHack Winter viewer's guide

26/11/2013 - 15:23

Below you can find the full viewer's guide for DreamHack Winter 2013, which will be the biggest CS:GO tournament in history with its grand $250,000 prize purse.

DreamHack Winter 2013 will kick off on Thursday with groups A and B, the on-site BYOC qualifier and the first two quarter-finals taking place at Elmia in Jönköping, Sweden.

You can find groups for the event through our DreamHack Winter 2013 event page, which also features a list of relevant news, articles, a link to Dreamteam and much more.

Friday will feature groups C and D, as well as the quarter-finals for the remaining two groups. Saturday is reserved solely for the semi-finals and the grand final. Below is the prize distribution:

1. $100,000
2. $50,000
3-4. $22,000
5-8. $10,000
9-16. $2,000

As you can tell from the prize distribution, no third place decider will take place. All matches will be broadcasted by DreamHack TV, which will feature two different official streams in English.

The main stream will feature the crew of six people announced before, with Anders Blume anchoring a secondary stream together with Auguste "SemmlerTheRiot" Massonat.

In the group stage each team will eliminate two maps from the five map pool. In the playoffs each team will eliminate just one map, leaving three for the best-of-three series.

What would be the best way to find good VOD's for the 2nd semi-final and finals without spoilers ? I can't watch the games late on saturday and am going to do it early on Sunday and just want to know what is the best way for me to do that without it being spoiled.

The Bo1 format is fucking brutal. " Lose 2 MAPS(2 FUCKING MAPS)" and you are sent home. I completely disagree with this. They should get rid of the group format and just set up 1 big bracket with Bo3. If you lose, you will go down to the losers bracket with another Bo3. This way you will have the chance to at least play 4 maps and bigger chances for the better team to win.

Yeah, that would make much more sense, especially given how much is at stake here. I'm pretty concerned that iBP may be a little uncomfortable given they don't have much LAN experience, and if they don't adjust quickly, they'll be out of the tournament in 2 seconds.

Agreed. There isn't much reason for a group stage when you have three days and a sixteen team bracket.

In the playoffs each team will eliminate just one map, leaving three for the best-of-three series. All teams will ban Mirage and Train.OK, we are going to see a big tournament with only three maps to played. Im so tired of dust2,nuke,and train.why dont just let the admin randomly pick maps for each match?
2013-11-26 17:05
#64
Portugal kazac 
Why no cache and season ? ... At least there shouldn't exist the possibility to VETO maps, we are going to see BO3 almost always (90%) Nuke, Dust2, Inferno. It won't be 100% because some teams will prefer to VETO the other teams best map or their worse map. I think it should be randomized the map for the BO1 and BO3s, even if cache and season were included on the map pool. A map pool with 7 maps or 9 maps would be perfect. (Dust2, Inferno, Mirage with fixes or _ce, Train with fixes or volcano fixed (volcano's map + valve "new" changes inside to prevent scar20 abuse), Nuke, Cache, Season, Tuscan (when done, 2022 mb), Forge or cbble). Teams would have to practice more maps but at least we would see more variety and more choice for the teams. Nothing against this map pool, but using valve's train and mirage will result in a 3 map pool.

agreed. We saw what happened at the last raidcall EMS de_inferno cup when teams are left to veto maps. Both teams should get to veto ONE map from the map pool which would be these five + cache and season, the 1st map should be random, 2nd map should be loser of 1st game's pick, 3rd map should be loser of 2nd game's pick. I have a feeling every single bo3 will be nuke, d2, inferno

Works the same way as a fantasy football league...you put together your own "dreamteam", buy players etc, and the skill level and how much each player is worth continue to change, depending on how good play-rating they get in official matches :) And with this dreamteam, you can add the team to "imaginary" leagues based on real leagues...you get a good team together, and win, you get imaginary money to spend on better players etc.
