Dreamhack's series of tournaments start mid-April with the first one being held in Stockholm. Eight players, including Jinro and MC, will attend the invitational.

Stockholm Invitational, the first offline tournament of the DreamHack Championship, will gather world's elite at Hörsalen in Sweden's capital city. The invitational will be a one-day event, held on April 12th from 14:00 to 23:00 CET. It will gather 8 of the best players in the world and offers some savoury prizes - 100,000 SEK (~ $15,870) for the first place winner plus two wild cards to DreamHack Summer 2011.

Two of all eight participants have already been announced and those are TeamLiquid's Gorilla terran

Jonathan 'Jinro' Walsh and two times reigning GSL champion

. The other six will be announced in the coming week.

Finally, DreamHack has announced that they will be using professional StarCraft 2 booths, much like the ones used in the GSL, aiming to improve the playing experience.
