Also, ORGANIZERS TAKE NOTE, having 2 different streams is just brilliant. Whenever I had any issues with one I'd switch to the other and bam, smooth sailing again. Also in case this was a test run or anything of the sort and DH plans to sell tickets for any future events they're hosting, they definitively won over a customer in me. | ||

Im not going to compare it to TSL since a live offlien tournament like dreamhack is very different. But it is vastly superior to IEM and MLG. 1. HD stream, both IEM and MLG streams were terrible. 2. Starting on time, no one game was delayed by a long time. 3. sound proof booth. 4. awesome host 5. Awesome interviews. | ||

I heard almost 90,000 people tuned in. Sick figure aside, every single one of them got a great show, full of humour and great moments, run perfectly, with zero downtime (ahead of schedule, in fact) with very little stream lag. Sincerest thank-you's to everyone involved. | ||

Dreamhack also had swedens largest internet provider as a sponsor/partner, Telia. They have done this so many years so they know what to do. Dreamhack is a event produced by fans, for fans. The people behind this is hosting a swedish gaming show every week and follows SC2 with a passion. Good work, can't wait for Dreamhack summer and dreamhack winter. It will be crazy, there was talk about getting a hockey arena for the finals this year. PS. Justin.tv has issuies in europe, I think NA is more justin friendly. But then we had a feed from aftonbladet.se that also was streaming for free in HQ. The two streams was streaming to 80-90k viewers. | ||

Was a combination of many things to make it sound proof  5. James was very entertaining but I wish he asked more potent questions like, "What were you thinking when your back was up against the wall?" Other than that the production and quality was something other tournaments should strive for. It was very well done with very few delays. | ||

Everything else was great. Production, free HD stream, commentators, and the games didn't disappoint either. It was a pleasure to watch, and future events will have to be measured against this Dreamhack Invitational. | ||

Yes it seemed awesome, but objectively there is nothing that makes this tourny better than any others. 2nd place doesn't get anything... that is just bad imo. 1: The stream was up for right at 8.5 hours straight, which is longer then any of the TSL3 or GOM streams (not that i have a problem with them at all) 2: I agree that all the players are top level, but i dont think anyone here is complaining about the players, i think everyone here is complementing the overall DHI experience. Honest to god, if this was a three day event, i would of been glued to my laptop at work, my phone on the way home, and my computer at the house. I watch every second of SC2 at MLG Dallas that i was able to due to their faulty hardware/stream. Like i said, i think most of us are giving props to DHI about their awesome interviews, booths, quality, humor, performance, and stability where IEM and MLG failed. 3: Awesome crowds make everything awesome. It fuels everyone. Every event should have a crowd. Im hoping and praying that the NASL takes the US ESport community by storm, and they get to expand and have room for a big crowd :D 4: Second place gets you a wildcard in the Summer tourny. Plus, it makes the players play just that much harder :D | ||

I'm so glad I got up early to watch it... and now a 'lil nervous for NASL tonight! But I am willing to allow NASL some 'growing pains' as they get up to speed. Hopefully the way Dreamhack raised the bar on production values will eventually benefit us all. | ||

The only things that come to mind is that JustinTV seemed to have some issues, this didn't bother me though, since i was watching the aftonbladet stream . Also, if the aftonbladet 1080p hadn't stopped working like halfway through the event or whatever, everything would have been fucking perfect.Great event. | ||

Apparently there were a lot more interviews going on on the Swedish stream, where can I find those? It was a behind the scenes, interviews with dreamhack and players. Perhaps aftonbladet will have it as clips on their web-TV, i guess they will find its way here then. | ||
