Had to add, you forgot super players. It was a blast watching dreamhack, can't wait for summer!

Always good graphical stuff (everything animated, all images etc)! Also related to this... all the DreamHack videos are always very nice, all the hype videos and such.
The music as everyone says is great.
Ceremony with champagne!
The lighting at the venue.
Camera controls/views.

I can only echo what everyone has already said! REALLY great.

DreamHack has been around since 1994 and I bet it will still exist in 2094.
I feel its slightly pointless to compare with other tournaments... but honestly DH is simply (light-?) YEARS ahead.

I wish I could suggest improvements, because I want DH to continue being just as awesome! It's not good with an OVERFLOW of positive feedback right ?
DH: Don't relax! Keep pushing it! Keep warping us into the future of where we all want to get

I agree, best tournament of 2012 so far. Showing MLG/IEM/IPL how it's done!

A good group play into SINGLE ELIMINATION bracket where all participating players have the same chances at the start. That's always more exciting than meaningless poolplay (where some of the players get a big advantage by seeding them directly into pools) into endless double elimination bracket with an anticlimatic final.

You also don't need 10 casters, 5 hosts and 5 interviewers who swap the stage all the time (where the boobed ones most of the time don't even know anything about the game they are asking the players about). 3 to 4 people is enough for this job and any more just gets annoying. Awesome job by Apollo, Wolf and especially Incontrol!

Dreamhack definitely delivered in a big way. Loved the production, casting and the presence of the crowd really added to the overall atmosphere. Extremely epic semi finals and finals as well, DH just keeps on hosting some of the absolute best events out there.

Awesome event! The feeling and sound of the crowd, especially when Thorzain was playing, was fantastic. So happy to be able to attend, will definitely try to catch more DH tournaments, and really recommend anyone to do the same!

The best thing is imo the tournament format.
Everyone starts on even footing. No silly seeds or invites!

such an amazing tournament

I think dreamhack usually releases reps. Maybe sometime next week I would look for it.

Amazing event.

this event totally killed MLG this weekend in every aspect but number of top koreans - and that makes it probably even more exciting

Agreed, I really appreciate their efforts. I always look forward to the next Dreamhack event. It helps give me a glimpse of some players I probably wouldn't see otherwise.

Right because Spring Arena 1 and a Dreamhack Open are comparable.

Hating aside, definitely a great tournament, possibly even a better venue than IPL4. Just wish they had every seat filled.

EDIT: and I have to agree with others about single elimination being MUCH better. Double elimination is just a recipe for anticlimactic finals.
