as far as I understand it only the QL, Streetfighter and SC2 FINALS will take place in the arena.
There is a hockey game on the friday. And dreamhack usually only holds the varius finals in the Arena Extreme.

I imagine the rest of the SC tournament will be set up in a smaller area simmilar to what was done the last summer and winter, Possibly we might see more games in the regular arena extreme....

I don't think that they'll have that many people attending the event to fill the arena.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DreamHack#cite_note-0
Attending last winter: 13k visitors
Arena: 4k


Dreamhack is a LAN, this isn't. How many of those 13k visitors are actually SC2 fans or came there to watch StarCraft/something else.

There were an estimated 4k people trying to get in to DreamArena Extreme this summer. Also, the winter event is much larger than the summer event. I have no doubt in my mind about this being filled during RO8 and onward for SC2. Absolutely no doubt.

And... DH is much more than a LAN. It's the world's largest digital festival. There is much more to it than video games.


Thanks for the info, didn't know about the DreamArena part. By the way, i also think that if somewhere in the world this would get filled to its fullest, it would be Sweden.


True.

This looks fantastic overall, too bad I'm not going

I've been trying to find more info about this. Normally there are more games than only finals on the last day. I think they will try to squeeze in more than the finals.

In the news article on dreamhack.se this is stated:

+ Show Spoiler +
“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. 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.


Great, great news that Telia, AMD and Sapphire are so deeply passionate for DH and esports. O'm also very interested to see what they "have in store for 2012 and beyond".

Tomas "Greykarn" Hermansson(high up at DH and SESF) commented the Rakaka-article on this with these words:+ Show Spoiler +
"Inga 5on5-spel tyvärr pga logistik. HV71 spelar hemmamatch dagen innan och vi har bara ett fåtal timmar på oss för att sätta upp hela arenan. Nästa gång hoppas jag att vi kan köra både DotA 2 och CS 1.6 i arenan "
Quick translation: "Sadly, there will be no 5on5 games due to logistics. HV71(the home hockey team in Jönköping) has a home game the night before and we only have a few hours to setup our arena. Next time I hope we can do both Dota2 and CS1.6 in the arena "


This leads me to believe that DH and its sponsors have money to continue using Kinnarps Arena at future events and that they really are going for gold.

Will people with tickets for their own table get a designated seat for this, or will it cost extra?

If you have a PC seat at the LAN, you pay 1SEK for a ticket to the arena, or 200SEK for a designated seat. Pretty damn cheap

You sir are brilliant!


This was a quik pick up of the glove that IPL threw, I like it!

Fantastic news that they are able to use this arena, will be some final to say the least.

But if I understand it right it is still only the final that will be played infront of a live audience? I understand why if this is the case but it still bring out the little sad zealot from me.

P.S. I heared lilsusie moved to London and that Lani saves E-sports...

Well, this is awesome but as far as i understand this it will be the same as the other dreamhacks which means there will be just one match at the arena (the final). Don't get me wrong, SC2 is not the only esports and I really don't want to get other games to be overshadowed by SC2 but _just_ the finals at an mind blowing venue doesn't make me that exited.


don't worry there will be plenty of room for all the sc2 games.

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.

No its still considerably less, 400,000 SEK is what is up for grabs at the whole tournament not just for first place. GSL code S is about 125,000 for each tournament with about 50k for first place.
