Nice read, personal favorite is #7.

If you all in him or not, Goody WILL make it a 30 min+ game one way or another. The only way to have the game be below that is to just quit at a random point before ten minutes. Goody Fightiiiinnng!

Nice write up!

However, a great story remains untold, about the BYOC qualifier winner Osho from the team Ai (Alien Invasion) who played all night on day 1 up until 7:30 in the morning, and had to play all of day 2 starting at 10:00 am, without sleep, and still managing to pull off a win against some top players and was pretty close to qualifying out of the group stage.

Hopefully we'll see more of him in the near future.

Great write-up!

But to be fair - the write-up regarding the crowd and especially Day9 tent is kind of misleading.

“Dreamhack was very nice although I was disappointed how small the tent was. It was always filled and ppl standing up” – Morrow


This picture is from the first day before all of the people had arrived. There was also problems during these first hours because of lighting which is true. And also Morrows quote to that picture seems a bit weird.

Show nested quote +
The entire rest of the tournament “took place” inside the Day9 tent, a too-small tent where fans were unable to see the players – even on the screens!


This was fixed late the first day and after that the crowd was more or less like this all of the time:

And yes, I do agree that the viewer experience could be improved a lot.

they're not talking about that the tent wasnt packed enough, their point was that both day9 and TB's places had so less space for so much interested people and such a populair game

Awesome writeup!

I especially agree with point #4. After Dreamhack invitational sthlm, I was expecting more for spectators. I went there on sunday just to spectate. It was awesome, (I got to talk to MC and Ret!) but it could've been better!

But well, Dreamhack is the worlds biggest LAN party with people from all over the world playing all kind of games. I can understand that its hard to provide big areas for so many kinds of audience.

There are two things we can gather concretely from the results of this tournament: #1, in a LAN tournament in which high level Koreans are participating, you do not have to be Korean to win. Hooray!


SC2 isnt like BW where the differences between skill is something of a bigger scale. Is this intentionally or unintentionally done by Blizzard?

Great writeup! Really glad HuK took the tournament, and that Moon placed high. Though I'm a little dissapointed in Idra, ah well >.>
If you can't jam with the best, then you have to slam with the rest.

Awesome read! To short! A foreigner winning and hotel mishaps. I imagine this is a bit of a reality check for some Koreans.

Nice write up, about the issue of #6, even though it only seems fair to treat everyone the same, I personally think Koreans should be treated better because honestly they make the events like 300% better.. can any of you imagine that dreamhack without the koreans? It was one of the best events I have watched, and I'm not sure if I would be saying that if the Koreans were not there. It was the same with MLG columbus, it was a superior MLG then the previous MLG's simply because of the Korean difference.

I mean treat these guys better and they will make your event worth while. Also the fact is if you don't have the top koreans competing in your tournament, your tournament doesn't have the top players in the world, people want to see the best in the world.



And if 500 koreans would like to participate in the BYOC, should dreamhack have to accomodate for all of them? The problem is, where do you draw the lines and say: the privileges end here. The management teams exist for a reason, so they should be more thorough instead.
