Yes, the swedish final is at DreamHack.

The pre-qualifier for WCG.Swe too, and our regional GH-final. So lots of action besides ESWC/WGT going on :)

For anyone that knows the answer to this:

Compared to years past how do these teams compare to these previous tournaments? Are there more "no name" teams attending or is it pretty much the same as it always has been (in terms of competition).

You're thinking of "bullarNa" who qualified via spelarenan.se which is the equivalent to the german VOIPlay Arena "Wir Vahren" used to qualify.
Head of the www.readmore.de demo section. Your POV demo resource on the net (12000 and counting...)

How many teams are sweden alloted? I know germany has two. Sweden must have two or it's fcking unfair. cuz sweden >>>> germany.
