EPTVery 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!

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. | ||

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 | ||
