DreamHack Winter 2006 is only nine days away. GosuGamers hosts the StarCraft and WarCraft 3 tournaments. Now the map pool is made public. Start practicing!



We also introduce a new map system, similar to the one used in the biggest WarCraft 3 tournaments. This to make a more balanced tournament and for the players to pick the maps themselves out of a map pool. Both players removes maps until only three maps remain. For full information, read below.
