Such an awesome event.

I was there and the production was spot on and the audience was awesome. I might be slightly deaf and loosing my voice, but I'm loving it. Don't know if it came across on stream but the audience was *SO* loud and everyone was in an awesome mood.

Audience was so amazing, when you have people in this mod, the only you can expect for is an amazing event!.

Also admins making jokes with problems and players quotes, is just impressive.

Thanks Dreamhack for this great day of StarCraft 2!.

Best tournament ever.

I would trade more of this for the GSL or anything else any day whiteout a second of doubt.

Hell, i even think the casters were better than tastosis and by miles better than day9 + sidekick.


at first i was about to be shocked but your actually pretty much right. if tasteless didint plug twitter and their sponsors every 5minutes i think tastosis would be better, but in many ways i would rather listen to demuslim/apollos less insightful commentary without being bothered by the casters plugging in such an annoying way. id agree they were easily as insightful as any combo without artosis and great overall casters. very clear voices and they make the audience feel the excitement of the games.

thinking for a sec i realised i never minded tasteless plugging handsomenerd for years but the twitter plugging makes me want to mute it every time. it basically lasts too long when they plug, it should take like 5 seconds and be completely done, they can talk about twitter for like 60-80 seconds. i dont mind goms sponsors that much either but when they cant even remember them it takes too long also.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Great casting, fantastic host, quality streams, great games, a quick and solid pace and a fantastic crowd.

Living in Sweden, I so regret not getting a ticket.

Mm, I didn't think it would be THAT loud. Didn't bring any way to protect my ears. My right ear feels kind of strange (I sat on the left side the entire event).

A great experience, having it all after each other with just enough time between to stretch, get something to eat and then it was on. That is something I like compared to the multi day events (like dreamhack winter was) where you have lunch breaks, dinner breaks, sleep breaks. Which means you have a boring time in each of those breaks.

Just keeping it rolling made the experience much better than if they had splitt it up. It made it so the earlier games built up the tension for the later games without having to hype it.

wow that host 2GD is really really good liked the whole style of the show it feels like a glimpse of the future of what I really want to see out of esports.

This is by far the best event I've ever experienced (Dreamhack) and I really look forward to future arrangements like this. Sure, I'm Swedish so I'm quite biased but it's still very smoothly done with everything from stream quality to awesome commercials!

Sweden, the next Korea!
Play hard, go pro!

Really enjoying this tournament, the host and commentators have been really good and the production top notch. Even down to the overlay guy with a sense of humor instantly reacting to whitera's comment. "he cares" lol. All add up to make an awesome showcase for e-sports and how fun it is to watch.

Well done Dreamhack

Wait!

I just realized, Boxer wasnt there.

Omg, imagine if he didnt get sick. It couldn't get more epic then it was so my guess is that the world would have imploded. Ill leave the math up to you guys but it seems like a possibility.

So if Boxer comes to DH summer the world will end. But oh what a sweet end it will be!

I have to 100% agree to the OP. It was a great tournament with really nothing to complain about. The casters, interviews, stream quality overall.. it was really, really awesome.

Also thumbs up for the "whitera - he cares" thing, that was so damn cool.

As an european justin.tv sucks for me might have something to do with the massive whining about it.

Awesome event though!

Honestly, the only tournament that has ever, ever, ever held the scheduled times. I really want to give Dreamhack a big round of applause for this. I've watched countless of different e-sport tournaments and this one was definitely the best.

Criticism I have is that the overlay of the advertisements were pretty big, filled up a lot of screen space, but meh, real 720p for free... Complaining about slightly too big advertisements would be stupid. Also a dedicated observer would be cool.

9.5/10 is what I'd give Dreamhack for this tournament.

Oh wow those 2GD and Zalmah videos, they are amazing!

He was hilarious today, but I like him even more now He's got a Facebook fan page also

I think I've commented already in this thread, but I just realised that due to the miracle of Justin.tv I can watch the VOD's already and got to watch the first rounds of the tournament that I missed, within 6 hours of them being played (!). And they were just as good as the rest. Really a new benchmark for SC2 events. Just such a wonderful atmosphere.

For me too, this was the best sc2 tournament so far in terms of production/stream issues/entertainment. I still do think tasteosis cannot be beat by anyone else though, I dont care if they talk about twitter 30% of the time they are just a great time to watch.

I loved how one time during the stream 2GD made fun of someone complaining about lag on the stream it was hilarious.

I also loved how inbetween games they had great commercials for other games and interesting commercials/ music filler. "final countdown" played before the finals it was epic. They were very fresh commercials compared to the lame ones on the MLG stream.
