On topic, does this really mean Bischu is the final challenger? He plays one match for all the krona?

It's not like the pros involved never trolled themselves (in an esports context no less) so I don't see the problem here.

Notice how people started smacking down on this tournament only after some important names had spoken out against it. I guess it's officially a big deal now?

wow...wtf? "yeah guys lets help e-sports by making a random tournament where skill barely comes into the picture at all. Sponsors will love that and TOTALLY take us seriously now!!"

who the hell thought this was a good idea, if they explain why they are putting so much money on a practically a series of coin flips I might not think this is a waste of time but atm it is a complete and total waste of time and money

This is the most retarded thing I've read in a long time. If you're going to do something like this, don't involve money, or do it for charity.

Its just to apologize to Bischu and say hey we done goofed with that coin toss. Thats the way i see it at least.


Edit: I do agree that this is stupid. But i think its intentionally stupid as a sort of joke/apology

What is wrong with you people? This is basically a make up show-match with Bischu with a lottery for who gets to face him, done in a way to poke fun at themselves for screwing up before. This it neither retarded or stupid some have put it in this thread. Lighten up...

The mad people basically doesnt seem to be able to see it for what it is: a "fun" event while also an apology. If some random dude wouldve organized a tournament with Funday Monday rules for some prize nodoby wouldve complained. But now its DreamHack. And its with a decsent prize pool. THEREFORE YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE IT A FUN EVENT, IT MUST BE AN EVENT LIKE EVERY OTHER TOURNAMENT OUT THERE AND SAME RULES THAT NORMALLY APPLIES MUST ALSO APPLY NOW, OTHERWISE ITS STUPID!!!!

If it wouldve been meant as a serious tournament WHERE SKILL WAS MEANT TO BE THE DECIDING FACTOR it would indeed have been stupid. But its not.

Feel free to think of it as a waste of time and money though, that up to anyone to think. But if its a waste of time why do you even bother? And considering the publicity they get for "wasting" roughly 1% of their yearly prize purse, Im not sure how anyone can consider it to be a waste of money.

chill out guys, it's not like this is the DH MAIN EVENT. Just a nice PR thing and also a nice act towards bischu.

I don't see how this gets so much shit from everyone.

It's basically DH confessing "Okay we fucked up" giving bischu a chance for compensation. The coinflip part is brilliant because they're able to make fun of themselves while giving Bischu this oppertunity. People coming in saying it's terrible for e-sports... not really? If anything it's good that orgnanizers recongnizes their mistakes and try to make up for them.
