I could be wrong here (Not always good at placing Euro cities in their proper time zones), but while they will be on the same day it's entirely possible they will not overlap time wise (Assembley and MLG Arena 1 for example didn't really overlap too heavily.) If anything we may be getting glorious full days of Starcraft II action for a whole weekend. Especially if there is any sembalance of cooperation between the two events. While I would understand if there wasn't, it seems that running the tournaments at decent local times for each event will cause there to be not a whole lot of time where both events are live and counterprogramming/competeing with each other. You see a collision, I see an opprotunity to watch starcraft from the second I wake up until I assume the keyboard face sleep position.
Erm.. Even though they don't collide timewise, they are definetely colliding in every other way. You might be able to watch SC2 16 hours a day, very few others do. This will undoubtubly affect the organizations.

Does anyone know if Valencia, Stockholm and Bucharest will be the small 8 man invitationals they've been doing or something of a different manner? I assume the Winter and Summer events will be their classic large events while the rest wil be smaller invitational but the event doesn't specify.
If the other ones are in fact just 8-man or so invitationals it doesn't seem like a huge deal that they would be conflicting with MLG Arena.
Open to everyone as far as I understand from the statement from dreahacks own website:
All events, including DreamHack Summer and Winter, will be be under the DreamHack Open-brand, our new and more improved eSports format, for both professionals and amateurs

Dreamhack Bucharest! Now I gotta plan an autumn vacation for this! Can't believe it, Dreamhack back home in Romania, so good!

Sad to see this clashing with MLG, but Stockholm Invitational was one of my absolute favorite events last year. Glad to see DH expanding their circuit this year.

Go find @greykarn on twitter and find out.

I'd like to point out that this is the third time in the latest 7 months that an MLG event collides with an another major event, could be just bad luck or just terrible communication from their side.

No games announced with the announcement, hopefully the non-major DreamHack events this year will feature more than one game. This is true. Although It's highly likely that Starcraft 2 will be featured on the circuit, it will be pretty interesting to see which MOBA game they will pick and if they'll keep supporting CS 1.6.
I am guessing it will be DotA2. The LoL scene lacks a really good Swedish team to be able to compete with the best, for DotA2 the situation is quite different. And hopefully they will not put CS 1.6 in the dumb and leave it to rot, 1.6 to DreamHack is similar to Halo for MLG.

It will probably split the same as mlg did. All of the top foreniers, barring stephano who will never leave europe and polt who likes europe as well, will go to mlg with all the top koreans.
Who knows really though very werid that they're conflicting with each other didn't they talk about this with each other before announced the dates?
Stephano has left Europe many times, IPL3 and 4, MLG Orlando, and Korea for blizzcup.
Interesting to see Bucharest added, looking forward to seeing more Eastern EU players

communication involves 2 people. doesn't mean that mlg is always the one at fault. we don't know the internal politics between the organizers of the events.

That's why I said bad luck, but MLG is the recurring organizer in this scenario, not IEM, Assembly or DH. Either way It's very unfortunate, I hope all organizers try to get their act together and get a lot better at co-operating with each other.

Large organizations. How hard is it to pick up the phone before setting your dates?

Also MLG kept calling the arena a test right up to Sunday. Saying they wouldnt do another one if it failed...

Time to start planning barcrafts. Thanks for the early headsup on dates :D

I'd like to believe that they only said that because the wanted to sell ppv passes -.-
MLGAdam just implied they've been planning this event for a year so I dont really know.

i enjoyed 2011 dreamhack stockholm, hoping this one will get even better

i see a collision with mlg here
not really.
if MLG is ppv again, few europeans will buy the pass and stay up ungodly hours.

For me it's more annoying with the player collision, that they'll have to choose between the two. Even if you just watch one there will probably be some players missing that wouldn't if the schedule was different.
