Dreamhack is indeed awesome! Really good tournament, you already mentioned all the reasons. Definitely considering going to the next DH just because of this!
To pray is to accept defeat.

Thi event seta new standard. The "casting couch", the venue and the stadium for the finals, EU and USA could view it, the casters, the ppl, the professionalism etc. So many good ideas and awesome stuff. Very personal and also very "big". Loved it!

It was amazing. The pulse counter was really interesting and fun to see, as the heartbeat rises in battles etc. The casters were also great <3

I was about to put DH in second place behind IPL regarding production value. Then day three came upon us. Holy jizz-fest! o.O

Well, all i have to say is: Whenever i want to show somebody how great of an esport SC2 is, I will show him the VODs of the finals, and he will understand.

Sickest event of the year! Only thing that needs to change is Tejbz... get 2GD as host and it will be the most perfect tournament ever!

I think that the Pulse thing they had was a it over the top, a cool idea but I don't think it was really needed.
I loved their stadium, caster couch, the tournament format was fantastic, I would say about the casters but they always get praise
My only gripe is that we didn't get 2GD hosting it

That said once esports get bigger all this music on streams and music at tournaments will have to stop completely. For now no one has noticed.


Seems like you really don't have a clue. Here, take this.

And once again Dreamhack sets a higher bar for the other tournaments around.
Epic finals in an epic location. And the caster couch and tastosis made up for the terrible host easily =)

Just another Dreamhack that set the bar for LAN tournaments a lot higher (Are you watching MLG?).

- Loved that it is from Thursday to Saturday, so you can watch the finals even if they are kind of late, cause most people can sleep in on sunday.
- There were almost no problems with being on time with the schedule, if you decided to watch a certain match, you knew exactly when to turn in.
- Do i have anything to say about the casters?
- Free HD Streams the whole weekend, this is awesome, I don't understand why people rage about some minor lag issues and bashing Telia/TwitchTV, these guys deserve way more love.
- Finals were absolutely awesome, i don't mind other games in between, especially when its only for 30 minutes or so.
- Host oviously hurt ESPORTS, 2GD did it awesome last time, i don't know why they don't use him once more. At least use another one next time, pls!
- Crowd was amazing, some more people could have stayed for SF4, and when 2GD asked if he was host now, i had expected some better reaction from the crowd.


Things DH isn't directly involved with, but are important to a good tournament imo:

- Games were mostly awesome (I am not talking about Happy vs TOD ^^)
- Except for RO16, racial distribution was very good. (Someone remember that MLG with top 6 terran? :/ )

The spirits move me.

I was there, I'll for sure be returning, this was one of the most epic events I'ave ever been too

I can only imagine that they'll need to expand the arena to next time, the entire place was full except for some of the side seats, but they didnt offer a good view and the screens used reflected in a weird way sitting on the sides.

apart from the few lags it was once again the best tournament standard, I'd say even better than IPLs production!

I think the finals was obviously really good but the tournament leading up to that was pretty dull. I mean the players wasn't even in the same room as the casters and the audience which made it feel more like an online tournament with nice casters IMO. Next time they should have the players in booths in front of the audience like MLG and it would be perfect

Just gonna say that most things were really well handled this year. High quality streams, good casters, the double group play into single elimination, clear schedule of when what is played. And the semis and finals were awesomely organized. But gonna throw out what would be my main areas where they should focus on improving in case someone from DH reads this.

Small stuff
- Could be a bit more clear about WHERE what is played. Hopping between streams wasnt a big deal, but slightly annoying.
- A bit of unstable streams, especially first day. No biggie either, lowering resolution fixed it for me mostly.

The one big thing DH lacks:
- Higher quality games, more better players. I felt that given the player pool, a 32 or 48 player tournament wouldve been better. Day1 and 2 were also kinda meh in terms of the match quality (ToD vs Happy anyone?), although day 3 naturally made up for some of it. If DH can find a way to attract more Koreans and possibly even more high level foreigners, it would give them an amazing boost as an overall tournament. Work on that, DH! If it isnt possible (I completely understand why it isnt an easy thing to do), consider lowering the amount of players to create a higher density of high quality games. Even with 32 players doing 4-player group into Ro16-single-elim-style, theres more than enough games to fill three days with. You might even be able to stream all games with 2-3 concurrent streams up.

What is an 'average peak' in the viewer numbers? Is it the average, or is it the peak?

Also can we can a pulse over time plot for the matches? That would be awesome!

<3 Dreamhack, except for some lag issues during the first 2days it was pretty awesome! Just loved the couch talking between all the casters!

The stream stats look pretty unreal though :D I can't imagine viewer count peaking at over 500k, while during the finals there were like 80k people watching the english stream?
