DreamHack is sad to announce that Lim “SlayerS BoxeR” Yo-Hwan will not attend Stockholm Invitational 12th of April 2011.

Earlier today his management informed us that Lim Yo-Hwan is in hospital after “acute enteritis” that was diagnosed yesterday after dinner. Hopefully he’ll get better soon and DreamHack hope he will have a quick recovery. But he will sadly not be able to catch his flight tomorrow morning and go to Sweden for the StarCraft II tournament.

DreamHack, as well as SlayerS Boxer himself, apologize for this sudden change and any inconvenience for the fans attending the event and also the fans following online:

“Lim was looking forward to attend his first European tournament; thereby it is even sadder, that“Acute enteritis” is stopping him from participating.” Says Jessica Kim

We wish Lim Yo-Hwan a speedy recovery and hope to see SlayerS BoxeR at any of our future events.” Says Tomas Hermansson, Head of Esport DreamHack.

European Champion from Sweden replace BoxeR

This of course gives the 8-player Invitational tournament an open slot. As SlayerS BoxeR play Terran and with only Jinro as Terran in the tournament we searched for a replacement and found the Swedish IEM Europe Champion – Jeffrey “SjoW” Brusi from Team Dignitas. The 24 year old Swede will certainly give the fans a perfect show (yes, SjoW is pronounced “show”) with stable builds and a non-scouting playing style.

Brusi has been one of the best European players since the release of Wings of Liberty and he will fight for pride, honour and the 100 000 SEK on the line. SjoW will face Canadian Protoss-player HuK in Round of 8 of DreamHack Stockholm Invitational.
