EPTThe translator was okay, but I wish he matched the hype with his translation.
The host? Omg the host..."Awesome shoutcasting from.....er Awesome shoutcasters" So awkward.

Meh ;-) That's actually the horrible host talking in Swedish, not the people in the sofa. Translated he says something, - "Oh, did you?" "Ah, nice. I hadn't actually practiced at all." | ||

Does someone at Dreamhack need to disable their microphones for them a little more quickly or is it up to the casters and they're just not always remembering in time? From what I could notice from the 4th row, it was the Dreamhack production team that screwed up with the microphones. I don't think the casters could actually manually mute their microphones. I noticed this a lot too. And the cutting between cameras was horrible. Other than that everything was great! | ||

To summarize, it was awesome. I watched some of the games at the TB/Apollo scene, loved seeing how Apollo is a very "moving" person, he just can't sit still when he's commentating, always moving his arms and looking everywhere, really intense - perhaps one of the reasons he is becoming one of the casters with best insight to the current metagame. The DreamArena with Bitter and Shaun was also awesome, they always kept talking to the crowd in between matches, doing the fusion core dance, smiling and winking when being taken pictures of etc. The important thing to note was that the players could just casually walk around and not get approached by everyone all the time. Sure, TLO and WhiteRa got swarmed, but a part from that everyone just walked around in their own worlds, smiling and having a good time. The group matches were all played in the eSports-hall next to loads of other gamers with their own pcs, but it was a nice setup, and close to the awesome Twitch.tv players lounge (which I visited as my press band gave me access). The way they did signings also was pretty impressive. The only flaw I could find being there was that Artosis and Tasteless (while I was there) kept sitting in a room isolated from the rest of the event casting. So I didn't get to close to Artosis as I would have liked. Me no gusta... All in all, awesome event. Also I missed Teeler there, seeing as every other TL-member signed my TL-jersey. | ||

I were there and the sound of the crowd on VODs doesn't really do it justice. It was incredibly loud and i was impressed the casters were able to talk at all at times. It's also unfortunate they didn't get a good view on the crowd as well since they mostly filmed those seats that were "closed". This is how it really looked and felt: http://imgur.com/a/bRLcX Note it's packed on the upper left as well. I had constant chills and adrenaline during the finals it was awesome! *edit* Here's a video clip / angle that wasn't showed on Stream giving a better video on the crowd. I hope it's not ISP-based. http://svt.se/2.155436/svt_e-sport#video2246952=2619250 There were some sound issues as well like messing up the levels on the music and most importantly that it didn't really sound like an arena with thousands of people in the audience during and between the games. From reading their site they've hit over 10000 lan gamers and 200000 visitors on dreamhack events. From watching the sc2 streams did you get the impression that it was an event of that size? There are probably thousands of details a decent TV production company would have done differently, take the colors, lightning etc on the stage for example. But I assume they simply can't afford having a real TV production company handle 3 days of broadcasting and production(yet). What they probably could fix if they wanted to is their site. If people read about this huge event called dreamhack in the newspaper or whatever and google their site they wont even notice that a dreamhack event is going on let alone find any live streams. No esport event sites are amazing but dreamhacks site ... All in all I was more or less stuck at the computer for 3 days  | ||

- During last day (but the semi- + grand finals) there were no where to sit and watch the games in a good way. The days before they were casting in the "DreamArena", almost filling 1k seats all day long. The last day only two caster pairs were casting at the same time. One pair in a closed room with no audience. The second one at the dApollo/TB stage, which was in the exhibitor area (insane noise!) and really small, only having tops 100 people. The experience from the last day but the finals must have been much better from home. Felt sucky! - The camera switching and audio muting in the Kinnarps Arena. The Stockholm invitational was a much tighter produciton. + Everything else! | ||

I actually like the down time between games, especially if everything runs on schedule, that way I don't lose my whole weekend on Starcraft and get some work/study done.  And I love you, TotalBiscuit, but I think you should lose the hat man, go for the professional look. I love your cast, it may lack a bit on the technical side, but you more than make up for it with the build up of emotion and excitement. The one thing I feel we need to find a solution for is the interviews with korean players. Maybe some realtime subtitles or something, I don't know... The way it breaks away from that moment of exciment, everyone is pumped, and then we're thrown into this awkward silence... But even the UFC has that. It's kind of an unsolvable problem. Just get them to memorize some stuff. "He really tough, very good ggs! I really happy with win today for fans! I love Sweden! Thank you, Sean Plott!" | ||

The ginger head tejbz as a presenter, not sure what you were thinking there. Lets just leave it with saying he wasn't good. The music was also very nice, except for that generic beat song when the winner stept on stage. But yeah, the event was awesome to say the least. Was fun with some QL and SF4 thrown in to broaden peoples horizons. Both make for good games to watch even if you are not into them. CS in the middle of the broadcasts would have been awful, as it is such as slow game which is very difficult to appreciate unless you yourself play it. | ||

I was just about to write that I it was so much content... Admittedly it's a bit of an exaggeration, but not by too much. Part of the problem was that switching between streams was actually quite a bit of a burden for me because of the storm of commercials and the instability of my internet at my parent's house. (Watching it at my dorm room would have been a much better experience) For some reason every time I switched streams, the internet would disconnect and I would have to reconfigure it. On a single stream, there was not that much content. The second problem that made the former even worse was that they didn't say when the next match was going to be on the stream. It was just blankness. At MLG they say "Player 1 vs Player 2 will happen at XX:XX time" and then I know, so the wait time in between isn't so bad because I know what to expect timewise. Again, it was a great tournament and I don't want to rag on it too much, but I think there are some very practical things that could be fixed. EDIT: I liked the music a lot too. I thought it was much better than the music they use at MLG. but I think I also think it would've been more dramatic and interesting if more korean players were in the fray. | ||
