This is going to be so sick! That lineup as well as these commentators :D:D
|
DHS11 will be so awesome!
|
Cant wait, its goin to be awesome
|
Was it ever going to be anyone else? This will be sick.
|
so the only thing that can go bad for the dreamhack now are streaming issues. otherwise its already the best tourney ever?

I agree this dreamhack will be brilliant hopefully nothing goes wrong now 
|
Will 2GD be there aswell?
Gonna be a great tournament
|
Yeah, what about 2GD? It just wouldn't be the same without him.
|
Day9 is awesome and apollo is ok in my eyes, but I was kinda hoping for more 2GD... Its easy to imagine 2GD turning Day9 into a constant laughtrack :> I hope he is still around as a host for the event!
|
Too bad it isn't Demuslim and apollo again. That was a great mesh of casters, day9 doesnt fit with apollo.
|
This made me order a ticket:p

If they would have two (or more) streams instead of one I would be extatic. Day9 and Apollo in all honor, but they won't able to cover nearly as many games as I would like, especially from the group stage. MLG have more casters and multiple streams for the next tournament, so in theory (if MLG actually get their streams to work as intended) they have the edge atm for me. But if the streams works as flawless as the last dreamhack I'll get over it. 
|
I will never forget MaNa vs. Naama and the epic storms.... Day9 and Apollo had just as much a hand in making those games amazing as the players themselves did

Those games were awesome.

Great casters. Would be cool to have 2GD host again since he did an excellent job at the Dreamhack invitational.

DHS11 > Any other event this year. OH GOD!!
|
2GD to host plz? But good caster line up.
|
This makes me very sad. Demuslim was great last time. 
|
what hosting ? isnt dh summer completely different from the invitational? rather have 2gd doing quake live anyway but probably not even that cos of bloodline champs
|
2GD to host or i won't tune in!!!
Nah, really good line-up in both players and casters.
|
as many have stated.. 2GD as host would be awesome!
|
I remember the last event Day9 and Apollo casted, a few of us ended up muting it so we could atleast enjoy the games >_< they are fine solo but the duo clashed too much, lets hope they've improve. Oh and here is waiting to see if dApollo buttons up his shirt this time around his lovely pink chest was rather off putting last time.
|
I would love to see 2GD again!
|
Ahh the original casting pair is back, but I must say, I enjoyed the De-Apollo archon's casting quite a lot too, Dapollo felt a lot more comfortable with demuslim.. And the master of ceremonies (the guy who made trollish kinda cool jokes) was quite good too.
But either way looking forward to dh!
|
awwwww yeeeeaaaahhhhh!
Those torunaments are setting up high the standard quality of SC2 tournnaments.
|
Nice!! Shaun and Sean fighting. Not sure how you guys going to say each others name :p

hell yeah, only seen apollo once and that guy is a badass... and him and day9 are a good pair.
a lil off subject, but if i had the chance to only go to one event, would you guys recommend dreamhack or blizzcon
|
Awesome awesome.
Although, since they can't possibly cover all the games, here's hoping we'll see 2GD (quite possibly one of the most entertaining human beings to ever walk this world) and TotalBiscuit (he did a great job covering the majority of the group stages during DH Winter) as well. If TLO and DeMuslim aren't playing themselves, they're really hot candidates for co-casting as well. They blew me away in WCG and DH Invitational.

True, DH Winter can be better. ;D
|
I prefer demuslim over day9 personally, but still a good lineup.
|
Give us 2GD! Casting, hosting, doing interviews, random rants.. whatever. Get him onboard.
|
day9 is the most loveable caster ever seen! There is no competiton. He has the support of the noobs, the broodwar fans, the starcraft 2 fans, the casual gamers and the ladies!
|
Tell Apollo he needs to use as many British colloquialisms in his casting as is humanly possible.
|
Yes, please bring 2GD also. Pretty please!
|
2GD for player interviews, general filling material, etc. That guy made the Stockholm invitational.
|
I would assume 2GD will be more involved in his "own" game Bloodline champions, seeing as it will also have a tourny during DH

As do i. Loved him in the last gig.

Dreamhack is going to be a must watch it would seem with Day and apollo casting really looking forward to it.
|
|
|
Not the biggest fan of Apollo, but whatever
|
wooohoooo! more hype! cant wait
|
What a tournament this is turning out to be, please release the final invites
|
The last dreamhack was amazing, and this one seems like it will be an even more amazing tournament than ever before!
|
Great to see day[9] doing more commentary but not a fan of d.apollo but good for him for getting more gigs.
|
Excited for the event and working again with Sean, I have been working hard on my commentary over the past months and really pumped to express my hard work and hope that I can win some of you over who dislike my commentary. For those of you coming to DH, see you there and for the ones watching online, expect a historic event.
|
<3 Apollo. Whether it was casting with Day9 or Demuslim, it went great in my opinion.
|
Apollo is not the best caster but paired with Day9 he gets himself to a better level, so I like it.
|
Great casting duo, I haven´t been this pumped for an E-sport event since Deathrow vs Team9 in Quake but this is obviously on a completely different level. I´m starting to get the kind of excitement I usually only get for a Football World championship with Sweden in it, the only thing missing is Nestea, MVP and a couple more Americans
|
Twice the Shauwn, twice the power.
|
I was kind of hoping for 2GD to cast, as he provided the funniest casting I've seen to date during the swedish WCG-qualifier.
But either way, it's solid choice, can't really complain.
It would be nice to see some players do some guest casting as well, don't know quite how many games are casted.
|
This is gonna be Ledgen-wait for it -dary!
|
Does Dreamhack have any plans to have a larger venue somehow, or use maybe the mainstage for the SC2 finals? Feel like going there for one day just to watch SC2, but would be really bunned out if there is no way to get in to the stage since it's stuffed since early morning.
|
Shaun vs Sean? Battle of the spelling!
|
I just hope they get the same host guy as last time, he was amazing xD

Hopefully this is true and I'm glad you say you are working on it, I think you've improved from DH-Winter to the DH-Invitational at least but maybe it was cause of the co-casters being different,
Personally I'm not really into the 2 "hype" caster scenario I feel it should be like football with 1 calm, analytical guy chipping in with the great knowledge of actually playing the game on a competetive level.
DjWheat + IdrA is the best example of this in Sc2 so far and Tastosis do this in a way that makes the games and casting really enjoyable.
Whatever the casting is the event will be awesome cause of the player pool alone anyway so don't feel too much pressure from the haters.
|
omg day9 and apollo again! SIIICKKKK!
|
|
|
2GD hosting would be grand!
|
Waiting for that moment when Day9 kicks PC down..
|
|
|
Thank god it isn't Maven, just hope he can stay away from the swedish stream aswel
|
I love this caster combo!! Also last DH tourney showed the best sc2 matches in a tournament up to date, hoping the best for DHS :D
|
ok thats it... got my ticket after reading this, was awesome last time with day9 casting, he's such a nice guy in person too.
also for those who want 2GD you should keep in mind that there is going to be a quake tournament and also BLC (the game he works with), and since he's a quake caster i'd assume they would use him for those events.
|
Awesome, I love DreamHack <3
|
|
|
I think apollo and day make a brilliant duo and i am really excited to see what they can accomplish together at dreamhack summer. I dont know why but they seem to have amazing chemistry.
|
DHS11 > beat all other events this year ow mah snap!
Apollo and Day9 is awesomesauce
|
the brilliant thing about dreamhack is , that they show so much games, when not all!

Oh my god, this! Ben and Apollo is a sick combo.
|
Not that I'm biased or anything, but I would really love to see 2GD as host with Demuslim and Apollo commentating for the triple threat British combo.
|
Yay Day[9] as caster = event will be extremly awesome just because of the aura of hype and positivness that he radiates as a caster/person!
|
All this event needs i 2GD comfirmed!
|
Pls bring 2GD,he was so awesome.
When is DH happening?
|
Dont worry guys, Ben will be playing 
|
Some dynamic TLO + 2gd duo could be awesome as well. But yeah, 2gd will probably be commentating some Bloodline Champion matches. (Which is awesome as well)
|
So,when is this happening?

I want to see 2GD and Day9/Demuslim cast!
|
jaeh give me 2GD and sry but apollo isnt as fun as tlo/2gd/demuslim
but best wishes hope will be well
apollo better fits to demuslim as co caster then to day9
day9 needs 2gd xD then it will be the most fun of our lives xD
|
Yay Day9 all over the place!
|
Day[9] and Apollo is my favorite casting duo! (besides Tastosis) looking forward to this.
|
Yea, Sean and Shaun duo!
Looking forward to DreamHack, with them commentating it should be epic.
|
Great duo, although Apollo worked even better with Demuslim imo.
|
I think it was a case where I had improved as a commentator rather than not working well with Day9. We will see! Looking forward to it I hope you provide coverage of equal standard to this tournament

yay! More Day [9]! I love the DH event!

I am really looking forward to this.
Day9 and Apollo make a really good casting pair!
|
2GD HAS to be there, he just HAS TO. Please!!!
|
|
|
The OP now has the pictures off the tent were Day[9] and Apollo will be casting

Apollo[9]! Awesome! While you were decent at DH winter, by the time the invitational came around you were really good d.Apollo, so I have no doubt that you'll be excellent for this. This tourney is looking better and better.
|
unbelievable, this is going to be earthshatteringly awesome!
|
Hopefully it isn't going to be so hot that the computers are overheating =\
|
Apollo has such an annoying casting style compared to Day9's perfect analysis. He just said "if ThorZaiN attacks now, he'll win!" and then ThorZaiN attacked and got raped, hahah

Thorzain attacked much later than apollo suggested, max.

I like apollo, keep it up!

i'm not liking day9's casting. he kind of shouts/talks really loud as if he's voice is on 11, and makes me feel really edgy. even during down times such as the beginning of the match.
and i'm not such a huge fan of how he calls a lot of the games amazing when they're pretty mediocre. even the latest july v thorzain match, the game was exceptionally mediocre with very sloppy play in a lot of instances.
day9, you're a great caster, but chill the fuck out, relax when you're casting, you don't have to call out every part of each players play as amazing when it's clearly not.

Meh I'd prefer him to try and make it exciting rather than sit there and say, well this is just mediocre play, both players suck, this is already over 5 minutes before the gg, and yawning and checking his watch. That really isn't something a good sportscaster would do, so why expect a good esportscaster to be bad like that as well?

That's your opinion, everyone has one, it would be impossible for him to match everyone's opinion on the games he's casting.
Personally, i like how Day[9] gets excited when stuff happens.

You are entitled to your own opinion, but that series was amazing. The way Thorzain held on for so long in game one, and even so in game three was very entertaining. The reason play was sloppy was because of the constant aggression that July was applying. I would like to see any other foreign Terran respond even remotely as well as ThorZain did.
Thorzain is a monster. July is a monster. That was a monster series.
|
I like D. Apollo, I just don't like how he says this is very exciting every 20 seconds. No complaints though, I think he's great. Wish he'd be at more events though D:
|
Today was awesome. Not everybody loves day9's commentating but I love the enthusiasm that he puts into it and look forward to more casts !
|
I like how day 9 throws in a joke here and there, i think they're an excellent duo and that Apollo does know a lot about the game.
One complaint? A lot of "oh noeees" on both side -.-
|
They sound like they're about to die from exhaustion.
Poor guys.
|
This is some valiant casting.
They are both going to be husks of men by the end of this!
|
very nice casting, both great understanding of the game and aren't boring to listen to !
keep up the good work ^.,.^
|
good job guys! love the cast
|
Indeed day 9 seems to be on target with his casting and him and apollo do very well together
|
Day1 of 3 and day9's voice is already starting to give up
Save the shouting for the finals on monday~
|
The tent was an epic fail though. Couldn't see the projected screen because of glares.

Why do they think Americans are just waking up at 4PM est? It's only like a 5 hour time difference to Sweden lol

... Seriously you are complaining ? i stayed up whole night here. It is 5:40 here in Korea. sacraficing the sleep for starcraft (: worth it !

Did you forget about the other half of the country that isn't in the same timezone... ie. California which is 3 hours behind. I would say a lot of people would be waking up around 1pm, a lot of people would be gaming hard on their Saturday night staying up late, or the casuals who actually went out on a saturday to drink wouldn't be waking up that early either. Not everyone is on the east coast.
