Awesome, awesome event, best i've seen. What i saw today is what i want to see from a tournament.
Very high-standard production, great games, great casters, great hosts (well done Geoff!) and i saw a show with a awesome crowd.

There are some things to improve but this was a event which will help grow esports. Congrats to Thorzain and Dreamhack!

so glad dreamhack isn't ppv


i dont think theres even a small chance of it going ppv


not as long as they have a paying live crowd and government funding (none of which the arenas have)

SVT is goverment founded but they are not giving any money to Dreamhack, they just offered their streaming services for them to use (which is a kind of support but the way you put it indicated money). SVT are picking up anything that is "in the public interests" which apparently eSPORTS is becoming more and more =)


What's SVT?

Swedish National Television. Its 3 (or 4 ?) tv channels that recieve funding from the government. The channels have no commercials and are available for free to anyone with a tv in Sweden aswell as most of the nordic.


?

It's two, but they are renting out space in the TV-house to other channels.

SVT1
SVT2
Barnkanalen
Kunskapskanalen
SVT24

So it's 5 (4 if you count channel slots since Barnkanalen/Kunskapskanalen share channel)

SVerige's Television (Sweden's Television)
It's kinda like the BCC if you're familiar with it, just a lot smaller =P. Back when TV was brand new all we had was SVT and it was all news and sporting events.

Do you mean BBC?

A foreign terran, and I'm pretty sure it is the first time a foreign terran has won anything in about a year.


Kas won Copenhagen games and lucifron won the gathering?

I'm sorry but those are not even close to being major events.

What?! DH has government funding?!

Dreamhack is cultural festival... Gets a government grant.

They, don't receive money afaik. The cultural thing only means they have to pay far less in taxes.

Everytime I watch Dreamhack events I have that cozzy feeling eSports is globally and extremly big thing, their production and passion level is just huge, I love it and wouldn't miss it for anything.

I can just hope every other tournament/organization will one day, sooner then later, follow amount of awesomeness DH presents to spectators.

And at the end, big gratz to Thorzain even if I am almost Polt's fanboi and wanted so badly him to win this! :-)

Dreamhack does feel a lot more pationate and a lot less "this is just big business" than MLG. The atmosphere, the music, the casters, the interviews, hell they've even went through the trouble of organizing an afterparty.. must be really great being there!

The production value stomps all over MLG's and is just inches behind GSL's, and still DH manages to remain free. I don't care if DH actually receives some form of government support -cultural events like this generally do in Europe-, this is what esports has to look like. It looked professional. I don't think stations like Eurosport would be against broadcasting events like this.

Stephano has been dethroned by Thorzain on the TLPD foreign ranking after what? 7 months in a row of 1st place?


Yeah. I wonder what the results were going to be with Stephano at this tournament, though. Meh, we're never going to know, time to watch him stream :D

Incontrol was great at interviewing, couple of wtf moments but at least he is very comfortable in front of a crowd and camera. I actually don't like his casting that much, but hosting and interracting with players he does very well.

I call bullshit on that, swedes are really patriotic.


What? Havent you heard that school is preventing people from singing the national anthem cause its racist?


The only time we are allowed to be patriotic is during sports events.


How can a national anthem be racist?

Exactly, it is as dumb as it sounds.


...How come your governmant can survive for so long? Oo

I'd just like to say that swedes are in general very proud of Sweden and the achievement of fellow swedes, but it is controversial to love Sweden and be patriotic except in a few select ways or on a few select days

We're a really messed up country =)

Sapphire don't seem to have an active twitter. They have a facebook though.

Send some tweets! Tournament provided me with so much entertainment it was the least I could do. They didn't even charge me.

To be honest this was definitely one of the best SC event so far in my opinion. Atmosphere, stream quality (60 fps <3, sound quality..), hosts, casters etc. were all amazing! I CAN'T wait for Dreamhack Summer.

Why are people comparing DH to MLG when DH occurs much less frequently and has drastically less content?

So the SVT support for Dreamhack means that they don't have to pay for their bandwidth? Now I see why they offer a free HD stream without excessive amounts of commercials.

That kind of distorts competition... Let's call the WTO :D
