After a long time, the eSuba.INTEL club is going to have a representative at DreamHack. We last appeared in Spain in 2012 with the expedition from the StarCraft II section. We are therefore very pleased that our player Mikuláš „Pokrovac“ Dio, who joined eSuba at the beginning of the year, managed to get to such a prestigious event. This international tournament will undoubtedly be a unique experience for Mikuláš and we cannot wait to see him in action in about a month. DreamHack Valencia is going to take place from the 16th to 19th July.
To get to Spain, Mikuláš battled through the very first online qualification (there are 3 all together). It was attended by 229 players from all over Europe. Our representative was very successful and managed to get farther and farther in the bracket. Not once did he felt the taste of defeat and winning the finale catapulted him directly to DreamHack where he will play for 10,000 dollars and important BlizzCon points. The complete results can be found here.
Mikuláš „Pokrovac“ Dio summarized the qualification battle:
The whole qualification was somewhat confused:
1. The rules were only in Spanish
2. There was no option to contact the admin (He had to add me to the battle net)
3. The format of the qualificationThe qualification was played with the format of 64 groups, one player advanced from each. I didn’t have any problems winning all the matches in the group and so I advanced to the top 64 where I managed to win all the matches up to top 32. I got through the semifinals also without any bigger complications (I managed to turn the results from 0-2 to 3-2). I couldn’t believe it when I finally won because I had been hoping for a victory like that for a long time. I am really looking forward to the entire DH and I hope that I will be representing the eSuba team well and won’t disappoint their expectations.
We will keep you informed so don’t forget to follow it!
