Dreamhack bringing hype back to SC2, other tourneys take note; professionalism is all well and good but excitement mends awkward boundaries and slick hype brings people to the edge of their seats.

Not only the excitement. They also deliver a highly polished production. From graphics, video clips, transitions, choice of music, audio- and picture quality, stage and props, sponsor placement to camera work. Their collaboration with SVT really shined this time

Free HD stream, quality players/matches, best eSports crowd in the world, amazing production, community casters in group stage (could even see a friend of mine being broadcasted towards 500+ people) and I think we can go on and on about this. Dreamhack is just always an event how it supposed to be, good job!

the 720p+ setting was soooooo crisp for me. Best I have seen in awhile and I am on the east coast of the states. Well done whoever is running the stream set up over there.

Always love the Dreamhack tournaments and this one was no exception. DH always striked me as a nice little tournament, but man, the past two events their production crew rival the paid events (perhaps you guys can do a HSC group picture for some screentime =P). I can't recall Incontrol, DApollo, and Wolf ever doing an even together, but you three had some awesome chemistry going and deserve major props for a perfect casting. Thanks everyone, see you next event!

I'll sign. Dreamhack goes above and beyond. Great tournament that's accessible to everyone. And in HD!

Dreamhack is easily my favourite foreign tournament. The crowds are rowdy, the games are good, and the winner gets a bottle of champagne to cap it off. What a treat. So much better than MLG.

iNcontroL did an absolutely fantastic job in my opinion and the entire event made me want more.
The choice of music was right up my alley as well and I feel more and more that I want to attend a DH myself to get the whole package and not just observe from afar.

Dreamhack crew, you rock!

I wish I was able to attend a Dreamhack

Regardless, this tournament was absolutely stellar. Really amazing. I loved everything about it: the free HD stream, the hometown hero/fan favorite winning, and the production. Also, Wolf and Apollo were great! iNcontrol as a host is a great choice. He knows how to handle interviews well, I think.

Congrats for being my personal tourney of the year :D

The only complain I got about Dreamhack are they dont do enough tournaments
