Dreamhack announced a new prize purse of 1.5 Million Swedish krona, which are about 234.000 $. O_O
On Friday they're going to announce on which games the money is spend due to a live stream.
I hope it's going to be the biggest sc2 event outside korea. The last dreamhack was just superb.

It's a shit ton, but bare in mind that it's for all the games that are played there - like HoN, CS, and all that jazz.
Still a whole lot though.

Hahaha nice!! A ton more money into esports. Take that EG's announcement!
|
Sounds impressive indeed.
How many tournaments are supposed to be covered with this?
|
Wow that is huge!! I can't wait to see how they distribute that much o.o
|
CS will probably get the most but SC2 might get more $/player.

gogo greykarn i believe you can make this dhs11 tournament the most epic sc2-tournament yet! :D<3
hm, just read through it all and it seems like it's not just for dhs but for the whole year, exciting and an increase none the less

Awesome, I'm sure this will attract a lot of talent. Hopefully no more Bo1 groups! =X
|
Over double the purse this year?
That's pretty awesome.
|
I can't see CS getting less than $75,000. SC2 will probably get up to about $35-40,000.
Also, remember this will be the total prize pool over DHS and DHW, so cut my above predictions in half :p

Well, hang on there, DHW10 had 180k SEK (like 18k EUR or 25k USD) for one SC2 tournament out of 650k SEK overall prize purse, so your theory would actually be cutting the prize money down per tournament while the overall event prize pool would more than double. Estimate this to be a lot bigger.
I can already hear the engines of the planes that are full of Koreans in the sky

True, I am quite retarded at 3am. They'll probably be about my estimate actually. I'm very very interested to see what QL and HoN get too.
