The DH website says that their event is June 16-19. Is Bumblebee talking about a smaller event that hasnt been announced yet?


edit: just saw people's links. I thought it was the main dreamhack event.

Wait is this one of their smaller events like valencia where there's only 8 players competing? If so, then I don't see this as a huge conflict now.

These dates were announced today. We definitely did not know about them when we announced. We were aware of THE Dreamhack in June.

Is this a typo and you meant did not know about them?

Totally agree with this sentiment: having them too frequently robs the specialness, and can be draining. I am wiling to pay more per event for less frequent, more awesome events.

Good luck.

The Dreamhack in Stockholm appears to be a two day event, so I'd imagine roughly the same size as the MLG Arena's.. Definitely bigger than the invitational's they had last year, i.e. Valencia and Stockholm..

I can totally see the Arenas gradually being more prevalent and important than the actual Pro Circuit.
Especially since Pro Circuit is free.

I don't mind this since these events are 100% Starcraft. Been a fan of Professional SC since 2007 and I don't care much about the other games at regular MLGs.

Hey guys.

Wait for more information (shooting for next week) on how these events all tie together, how they're different, and of course pricing/packaging.

I think you'll be very happy. We heard everyone's feedback, we're usually pretty good about instituting community changes.

Dreamhack didn't make these dates public until today. MLG didn't know they were going to overlap. It could be DH's fault for not communicating these dates, MLG's fault for not inquiring deeply, or both parties for not communicating properly.

Since the Europe times probably won't overlap with the NA times, the only possible issue is player pool. Time will tell.

I hope there is more creativity the next arenas.
Without at least some of the following improvements i wont pay for sure for the next arenas:

- get audience.
- get motivated commentators. They get more bored everytime i see them.
- and most importantly: GET SOME GOOD INTERVIEWER! Have u seen 2GD at Assembly? Thats what im talking about! Hes fun, hes real, hes honest. He doesnt always ask the boring 2 same questions. He has personality. And let JP do some other stuff. He really is the worst and most boring interviewer ever. At least get slasher.. Those interviews at the last arena, was more boring than the waiting screen. no joke.
life is like fighting a dinosaur.. it's pretty hard.

Soooo, people in this thread are asking for lessstarcraft? Am I right?

You do know it is optional right? You can decide for yourself if you want to pay and look. I like this approach, because when there are more events, I can start picking the ones I am most interested in .

So is the plan to continue this, having one each month? I'm definitely not shelling out 20 dollars each month, that's for sure. Also, like someone else pointed out, it loses the "special event" feel that it seemed like MLG was going for.

Also, please announce a considerable time beforehand what the pricing will be, and not like 10 days before the event, like last time.

Also, good luck, MLG.

I agree completely.. It's the job of both of the tournaments to communicate about the dates, not just MLG.. And if it's like Assembly, it won't overlap anyway.. But sucks for the player pools..

There's simply to much Starcraft going on in the World.
Please tournament organizers, make less tournaments, make them therefore better and bigger.
This will increase hype, increase practice time and game quality and decrease travelling issues like the costs to fly people all over the world all the time.

Please remember TSL3 and why that has been the best tournament in Starcraft so far.

Hope there's open qualifiers but I won't get my hopes up
When I think of something else, something will go here
