After losing to DIPS, we faced Katten Musen 10000 and after that Forget.DotA.When we beat both of them in what was a boost in moral, we had to wait for several hours before we could play the loserbracket final, since there was some delay due to the schedule and due to DIPS and Tribal having to play 3 matches.

When DIPS has lost to Tribal in their winnerbracket final, we got our last chance go get back and them and secure the last spot for the grand final, which on a side note is going to be played tomorrow at 16:00 CET.

The time was right, it was time to get back at DIPS, it was time to show that one bad game would not ruin our good spirits, nor mean that we would forfeit the rest of the tournament. The first game went more than well, with us having banned Lanaya, we removed one of the key elements for our first loss against DIPS. So with Lanaya out of the picture, all there was left was just to do our thing and win the first game in 22 min. The second game went almost the same, a fast game where it was clear unique was on top of their game and had now earned their rightful spot in the grand final.

You can find more pictures from the event in the Dreamhack winter '09 album and we will make sure to update you tomorrow, with both results and pictures from the finals and prize ceremoney!]]> kasper605@hotmail.com (Kasper Nielsen) Dreamhack winter - Day 1 Kasper 'TasteMeAcc' Nielsen blogging from Dreamhack winter '09 and I just wanted to share some updates as well as some of the pictures I've taken throughout the day! So far it has been a great day for unique, we won our 3 winnerbracket matches and are so far still on the top of our game. The winnerbracket matches has ended for the day, but some of the teams in the loserbracket still have some unfinished matches that needs to be played today. Today did not only bring some exceptionel matches, but we also practised new combos, had a blast roaming around the different halls and hooking up with some of the other DotA teams whom we have been playing with online.

So the tournament is gonna continue tomorrow at 10 AM, which for some is early (at least for some of the unique guys). We are all hyped about the finals which will kick-off tomorrow and if everything goes smooth, as we know it will, then we will see ourselves in the grand final saturday at 18 CET on the grand stage.


Hall A, also known as the eSports hall, where the unique guys and I are stationed.

I will now enjoy the last hours of the day and play some Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, I've gotten pretty good at it if I may say so myself! I hope you guys will enjoy some of the pictures I've uploaded and I can only promise you that there will be more of them tomorrow morning! Until then, adieu!]]> kasper605@hotmail.com (Kasper Nielsen) unique participating in DotA League cup Steelseries. Their first game was against exL which they won and next will be playing against either "HardStyle" or "Left Hand Drive". The tournament is a rather large one with an impressive 512 teams signed up to the DotA league Cup.

Not long ago due to lineup changes in the DotA roster we lost against DCP for the FARM4FAME tournament which led to us not being able to participate. Teams in the FARM 4 FAME will not be able to enter this cup which means none of the top DotA teams will be entering this competition giving unique-esports a top seeding to take the top 3 position.
