Tough group for piggy, with his less than favourite match up throwing some randomness to the group.. Lucky is strong but I feel piggy should be confident in making it to the next round!..
DreamHack starts at 4pm Singapore, 6pm AEST and 8pm NZ time tomorrow!
As PiG's group is in the first 3 hr block we can potentially catch his games at a decent time
In addition, Duckville has been announced as one of the official side streams for the event! Congrats!

YAY Go PiG, i can watch Dreamhack all weekend and all monday
Duckville what a legend he better stream all of PiG's games
Hey guys thanks for the support! Ive been practicing the last few days in Inferno, the biggest net cafe in the world! EU ladder is definitely a step up from NA but is hugely lacking terrans and has a crazy number of good toss players. Been having sick games with the top guys over here and am the 2nd highest zerg so looking fwd to putting on a good show with this 10ms!
Swedens really nice and Im excited to get on a train to jonkoping in a few hours before I start playing tomorrow. Lucky has beastly ZvZ despite being underwhelming in other matchups at times so he will be a good challenge to start off the tournament!
PiG is actually going to be on the main stream as the first cab off the rank! After that I've got his next 2 matches - and as you can see, I've got a few extra names that might take your fancy after that Hopefully some of you who can stay up/switch sleeping schedule can join me.
