Ponde said on Lo3 that the ideal situation would be a Swede vs Korean final with the Swede taking it. And that was exactly what we got! Excellent tournament all-around. Even in its results.

For organizing all this good stuff, he deserves five minutes on his own stage, independent how good on camera he is. Same goes for Sundance, Carmac, David Ting etc.


I agree. I see no problem with organisers coming on stage at some point. the amount of work required to make these events happen is staggering.

Obviously, these guys deserve some limelight and a great deal of respect for all their hard work. It was more HOW he did it that I just found a little contrived, patronising and embarassing.

The event was EPIC though all round, and they deserve every ounce of credit, I was just a bit embarassed for everyone involved for that 1 minute period. I think he thought it would go down better than it did.


That's just nitpicking tho.

Yes, yes it is. An event that's so epic overall could have been even better. Offering criticism on a specific point could be considered nitpicking. For me though, it was a pretty mortifying and cringeworthy moment within a sea of pure gold. I just HAD to bring it up as nobody else was mentioning it.

I'm not a hater :-)


As it seems you were the sole who actually noticed or took offense, perhaps the error is in you?


No it's constructive criticism imo. It was really awkward when he came out. He didn't have to be so dramatic about it. He could have just gave a calm and collected speech. Would have conveyed his message a lot clearer and the crowd would still have cheered and applauded at the end of it. He was essentially saying Stockholm would be the e-sports hub of Europe right? I for one hope that becomes true =)

What error have I made exactly? - It's an appreciation thread in which I'm expressing 99% positive feedback and making a small criticism, which I expect, at least a few people agree with. You can't know that I'm the "sole" person who took offense!

For the record, you're saying that you watched the entire thing and you thought that speech was executed 100% perfrectly and couldn't have been done better in any way??

Here's the crowd reaction
from a spectators point of view.

Overall, a marvelous event and it was amazing in so many ways. The only valid complaint I heard was that for some places in the audience you kind of got the spotlight straight in your eyes, which made it difficult to watch the screen. Wasn't really a problem where I was sitting though.
I can no longer rest under the tree of wisdom, since you have axed down the roots feeding it.

I really enjoyed this latest EIZO dreamhack event. Good casting, good coachcasting, awesome matches, free HQ stream. When it comes to esports events, Dreamhack is the event to beat.

It was an amazing event. I really feel other major tournaments can learn from the production quality of DH Open in Stockholm, it was an absolute treat watching, even though I spent more time looking at the chat than I did looking at the stream.

I would easily have paid 10-15 bucks to watch this.

when was that? i watched almost everything yesterday and didn't notice any sound problems


The sound did sometimes go out (vaguely remembering Polt vs Sjow). Since you don't get pitch perfect audio in MLB, NFL, or NBA games either, I wouldn't consider it to be that big a deal.

It was my first live event and I just loved how everything was well organized, that schedule was awesome for us out there to know how much time we had until the next match. It's too bad it wasn't packed full but all those shots of it being half-empty didn't do it justice because there was at least 200 people up in the bar the whole time and what I find a bit funny is that the crowd was constantly on the move, even during matches lots of people were simply wandering around the venue. It's also new to me to see everyone cheering for everyone, kudos to swedes on their sportsmanship. Oh and the crowd itself was so polarized: On my left sat a couple of guys who looked over 30 and on my right sat a really pretty girl in an EG shirt and drawings of race emblems on her arms holding a Hydra toy and she looked more into sc2 than I was. In front of me sat a guy who was constantly surprised that the aforementioned girl was cheering and was commenting on her to his friends. All in all, a nicely spent weekend.

Regarding this:

I have a quick question and I'm not too sure where to put this. Do the progamers at Dreamhack use the Eizo Foris FS2332 when competing? If so, that's a rather interesting choice. What do the progamers honestly think of it?

Yes, all the monitors in the tournament area were FS2332. I dunno what the pros think of it but one thing I did notice is that Hyun kept brightness and contrast much lower than Ret for example. I myself own this monitor and the reason I bought is the positive reviews throughout the internet which made it the most valuable monitor for the money at that time, dunno if that is still the case.
