DreamHack Winter reach playoffs

The DreamHack Winter 2010 group stage has officially come to an end, advancing a total of 16 teams to the next stage.

The stage will be set for Danish rivalry when mTw and Full-Gaming will clash against each other. The fact that mTw are seeking revenge for their loss to the latter at WCG Denmark earlier this year, should give them a boost.

mTw to secure another DreamHack gold medal?

Coming out on top of Group D are Natus Vincere, which will see the Ukrainian team cross swords with puta in their first playoff match. With what NaVi have been able to prove so far this year, this might very well be the end of puta.

The rivalry between mTw and Full-Gaming is however not the only national battle the playoffs will feature, as fnatic will take on their countrymen from RAGE in the Round of 16.

... or will cArn lead his men to victory?

Frag eXecutors will after their performance in Group G take on Turkish-based Hardwarearena, who made headlines earlier today when losing a close 16-14 game against SK Gaming.
