DreamHack Summer 2007 is getting closer with a high speed, and it is now less than a month to the event. As GosuGamers.net is your main source for WarCraft, we hope to be your main source for the DreamHack tournament, since we are its administrators.





As you might be eager to know more about the event - the maps, the rules, the dates and so on, this news post will have it all. As a starter we'd like to welcome you to ask any kind of questions by PM if anything is unclear. There is a link in the end of the news which redirect you to the PM page.

Mappool and How it Works



If not used to playing WarCraft on a tournament level, the mapsystem might be a little tricky. As the winnerbracket is played in a best of three format, there will ofcourse be three different maps to be played in every match. Step by step, this is how you pick your maps:
