Makes me kinda proud to see there are people in this country who care enough (and pay enough) to make this sort of stuff happen. Would have been awesome to have been there, unfortunately I live in the northern reaches of Sweden...

Gotta say though, it is thoroughly unfair to compare this to MLG. MLG is on a completely different scale, with hundreds of players and games played in a very short timespan, alongside several other games in a huge event. This was a small, focused, well-executed event, with completely different conditions. They are very different, and are both great in their own ways.

Still awesome though.

Best tournament so far

Well scheduled
Downtime filled well and a clear update as to when the next game was going to start
Such energy from 2GD, having him MC and lead in and out the games really tied the event together
Great casting synergy from Apollo and DemusliM
Booths that allowed the crowd to properly let loose
The interview sofa that brought the players properly on screen

ZOMG!

2GD is awesome on stage and the production as a whole is setting a new standard for what everyone else should live up to.

The level of quality from this event is the highest Ive ever seen in a single day event. Mad props to DH!

lets top today off with some awesome NASL!

Greatjob dreamhack, sick tournament

now if only the website isn't the cause for 90% of the worlds epileptic seizures :S


EDIT: that was probably in bad taste. But seriously you guys should consider toning down the whole colorful banners everywhere thing :S

aside from that, best tournament imo.

+1@OP, great tournament and really high production value. Wish I could've been there, but sadly I 5 hours away from Stockholm, so a bit too long of a trip to undertake on a weekday :/

Totally awesome production. I'm excited to see upcoming ones produced by Dreamhack. They don't disappoint, and they put MLG to shame.

Team LiquidUnderneath it all they were really quite nice. They just got screwed up. Mostly by stuff that wasn't entirely their fault.

Great job. Everything proceeded smoothly and quickly! Which never happens in a SC2 tournament! Grand finals was the best PvP series I've seen so far, very tense and exciting, great comeback.

I wanna see the after party where they crack open that champagne. I don't know if everyone saw the interview where IdrA totally said the drama between him and Huk is mostly hyped up, and they were out together the day before. It'd be cool to see them interacting outside a game and the internet. Maybe some vids well focus some time in the future of the dreamhack afterparty ^_^

One of the best SC2 broadcasts since Day9's countdown party.

Everything was so awesome. I have a feeling with MLG getting sound proof booths that they can top this broadcast. DH just set the bar for future tournaments with only 8 players. I know MLG, NASL, Gom were all taking notes on this and if they weren't then what's the point in hosting anymore tournaments. This is what the fans want to see.

I completely agree, DHI showed what should be the standard for every major tournament out there that wants to be takes serious and the standard that e-sports needs if it wants to be taken serious. Awesome job DH and i can't wait till the summer event.

Also a special shout-out to 2GD, appolo and EG_DeMusliM for making the show fun to watch.

Hope all other big tournaments learn from this.

Can only thank the Dreamhack organization for such a well polished product that im sure provided some lessons for other organizers to take and take the next step towards what a quality production should be.

Noticed the stream peaking at 52.000 viewers wich is impressive and well deserved for the excellent event. Can only thank Swedish Dreamhack organization team for taking the production to this level and put the pressure on others to step up their game.

Btw, i lagged on several occasions but the organization had the solution that worked for me every time: there were 3 different streams running and when one was glitching a bit i would just jump to the next stream. Watched the whole event with no major problems so thank you so much for providing different streams.

Loved the casting team even not being a big fan of any of them, they worked perfectly fine as a team and were able to provide good enough dynamics to keep me interested the whole event.

Last but not least a shoutout to James "2GD" Harding who was hosting the event and even not being an avid SC2 player (Quake for him) did his taks brilliantly and provided a needed breath of fresh air to what we usually get from hosts on previous events. The fact that he didnt followed the "standart" / "by the book" hosting posture of others only made him better in my personal oppinion.

To whoever dont recognize the guy heres some intel:

James "2GD" Harding - Team Fnatic :



Peace.
