DreamHack ZOWIE Open Austin is knocking on the door, thus we have prepared a viewer's guide which contains all the information you need to follow the event that is taking place in Austin, Texas.

Group A Group B
Brazil Luminosity Brazil Tempo Storm

Tiers are completely subjective views and I don't really make mine. One top5 team, 1 top10 team, 3 of them are in the top20, these are mostly good teams in my opinion. I'll watch this because I enjoy watching top teams compete on LAN. And frankly I don't really care for who's casting or analyzing as long as there's no pansy, and even if she's here I'll just mute the stream and watch with some music.
