MC and White-ra to DreamHack Summer

Not a long time has passed since the two-times GSL champion Ming-Chul "MC" Jang blazed through Stockholm to seize the DreamHack Invitational first place. Now, the Korean, along with many more great players, will get another chance for victory in Sweden as DreamHack Summer commences.

With the coming of June, StarCraft fans and players get to expect another great event. DreamHack Summer, which will be held in 18-20th June, will welcome hundreds of great competitors to Jönköping, Sweden.

The main event will feature 48 players, divided into 8 groups of six. Top two of each group will advance to the single-elimination bracket and will have a shot at the champion's throne.

Five contestants have already been determined due to their previous accomplishments in DreamHack events and three more will be announced by the organizers in the days to come. Another two will be determined by the BYOC qualifier tournament and the rest will be selected by the DH administration via application review. Those will compete for a prize pool of nearly 21,000 EUR (188,000 SEK).
