StarCraft 2 plans 2011
DreamHack announce eSports plans in StarCraft II during 2011 featuring SEK 800 000 prize purse and continuous support from same partners as last year: SteelSeries, Eizo and Sapphire AMD.
E-sport at DreamHack was followed by millions of people in 2010 and is expected to grow further in the coming years. A few weeks ago we announced DreamHack’s total Prize Purse for eSports during 2011 and together with our partners SAPPHIRE, AMD, SteelSeries and EIZO we proudly present the details of this year’s tournaments in StarCraft II.
Five tournaments and SEK 800 000 Prize Purse
DreamHack SAPPHIRE AMD Championship starts in March with a online tournament and then continue with four physical events where the major festivals, DreamHack Summer 2011 and DreamHack Winter 2011 with the finals at DreamArena Extreme, will be the most prestigious and also have the largest share of the total prize purse of SEK 800 000.
A large part of the world’s elite are expected to come to Sweden to compete for the title of this year’s DreamHack Champion. The tournaments can be followed on site as well as online with several different types of live broadcasts.
DreamHack Sapphire AMD Championship
- March: Kickoff Online Tournament, SEK 10 000 Prize Purse.
- April / May: Swedish Tournament, SEK 100 000 Prize Purse.
- June: DreamHack Summer 2011, SEK 200 000 Prize Purse.
- September: European Tournament, SEK 100 000 Prize Purse.
- November: DreamHack Winter 2011, SEK 400 000 Prize Purse.
All the winners in the first four tournaments will qualify for the finals at DreamHack Winter 2011. Open Qualifiers will be held online but also through International Qualifiers. More news, detailed information about the tournaments and the official tournament site will be announced shortly.

siiiiiick prize pool! Wow. This is getting nuts.
|
Looking forward to tuning in to even more great SC2 tournaments in 2011
|

|
DHW, 60k USD???? WTF
I have to witness that
|
So sweet, I'll definitely try to go next winter.
|
This sounds so awesome. Just more proof that SC2 and e-sports in general has not yet peaked, especially with all these tournaments just exploding in size.
I, for one, am looking forward to games even more awesome than the ones played at the last Dreamhack. More MaNa vs Naama-esque games. More Korean invites. Heck, even more ActionJesuz would be cool.
|
Wow, so many huge tournaments in terms of price money coming up. Awesome.

Woho! I just hope the coverage is really good for those qualifiers and they have the power to set up a really good overall event.

Millions? For real? Can we see some metrics on this? Millions is a lot.
