Today DreamHack, Sapphire, AMD and Telia takes the next leap forward, presenting the next generation of esports entertainment. At DreamHack Winter 2011 we’ll enter Kinnarps Arena, one of Sweden’s largest ice hockey arenas, where over 4.000 eSports fans can watch the best live esports entertainment in the world.

The show will feature the final matches including the Grand Final of DreamHack Sapphire AMD Championship in StarCraft II where a whooping 400 000 SEK are at stake. We will also show great matches in Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition and Quake Live during the evening.

“This Winter we are taking it to the next level. I want to thank AMD, Sapphire and Telia for supporting DreamHack in our vision for the future, and also stating that DreamHack has always been about the community and the audience, so this year we will put on a show that our fans really deserve in our +4000 capacity DreamArena Ultimate. This show is for all you guys! It is also an indication of what we have in store for 2012 and beyond. May the galaxy take heed…” says DreamHack CEO Robert Ohlén.

“Starting with our sponsorship of Dreamhack’s ground breaking series of SC2 events and now this, a leap forward in Esports presentation, the spectacular arena it truly deserves. This is our way of demonstrating Sapphire Technology’s commitment to the global eSports community” says Adrian Thompson- VP Global Marketing.

Take Swebus eSports Coach direct to DreamArena AMD SAPPHIRE
DreamHack’s travel partner Swebus will arrange dedicated coaches from 5 major cities around Scandinavia, bringing the fans to the threshold of DreamArena AMD SAPPHIRE and back again after the show! Take the esports buses to Jönköping and make sure you don’t miss this amazing on-site action!

Free Internet on all coaches for all your tweeting and facebooking needs during the trip!

Full details on the buses available at http://www.swebus.se and http://www.dreamhack.se from October 17.

The past Dream Arena were held in the convention center itself, a huge theater.

And there were rumors for years about "when" dreamhack would be able to step it up and move its arena to the big ass ice hockey stadium next door. Well apparently its DH Winter 2011.

Guess that means I can actually get a seat this time.

Dreamhack seldom disappoints.

Wow! Really impressive arena, and 400.000 SEK (while not quite as much as 400.000 NOK ) is pretty damn impressive. I believe 400.000 SEK is about 60k dollars, which is almost (or slightly more?) than GSL Code S finals.

THIS IS SICK!!! Can't believe dreamhack is getting so awesome like this!?! Will definitely be full with 4k+ seats. Dreamhack summer 2011 had over 4k people in queue to get in to the dreamarena extreme which was the last arena who didnt fill more than about a 1,1k. DreamHack<3 You'll always be the best for me!
