Both for the Quake Live, BLC and Starcraft 2 finals. This is actually correct. Add to that that some seats are taken by casters+production and you will have something around 1000 people there that watched StarCraft on DH Summer. Some people seem to be a bit critical regarding how they will be able to fill it up and for me that seems kind of weird. Last DH Summer there were 1000 people watching the SC2 final where people waited a long time to get in. At least 500 people couldn't get in and then you also had people that saw the enourmous line that thought to themselves "Oh, no chance I'm getting in to this - I better watch the stream on my computer". DreamHack Summer had over 1000 people more than last DH Summer so DH is growing. I wouldn't be surprised if we will have 14-15K people attending DreamHack Winter. Just by looking at these numbers there's a possibility that 3K+ people already attending DreamHack will show up to the final day at DreamArena just to watch eSport - maybe even more. Add to that the marketing, hype, growth of eSports and you will probably find 1000 more people that want to come for this amazing event - or even stay more days for this event. There were some that were sceptical for DH Invitational in April - it sold out in days! There were some that were sceptical about filling a bar with people watching StarCraft - it went total bonanza and 5 BarCrafts were held with about 1000 Swedes watching DH Valencia. Do not underestimate Swedens love for eSports. | ||

one thing tho I do not understand why at venues there are usually 3 screens instead of just 1 bigger one? Why? is it cus they just dont have a bigger one? I think most people would like 1 huge one instead as with 3 you don't really get any benefit. Also, it seems unfortunate for people if they have to sit at the edge. They will barely be able to see anything? If it's an arena, is there actually space behind the wall behind those projectors? Maybe they could get a bit more space, and then the 2 screens on the side can be tilted back just a bit so that people on the very edge of the seats can still see. | ||

I dunno | ||
