Most of you probably watched the official Dreamhack Stream when watching the Dreamhack Finals. However SVT (Svensk Television) did their own production and stream of the finals in Swedish.

Also a lot of people were complaining of the music that Dreamhack added when HerO won. In this video you get a much better feeling of how it was to be there live and hear the whole crowd shouting.

You can see the end of the finals plus the interview with PuMa and HerO here:
Part 1 (PuMa interview at 15:25):
http://svtplay.se/v/2619250/dh_winter_2011_eftersnack_final_sc2_del1

Translation:
+ Show Spoiler +

Q: Im standing here with PuMa who just lost the finals. I want to start of by thanking you for the entertainment.

Q: How do you feel right now?
A: Im a bit disappointed with losing by such a small margin. But as a progamer you win and you lose; so I just hope that I will win next time.

Q: HuK was up and talked to you multiple times during the finals. What did he say?
A: He came up between the games and gave me some advice and also looked through the replays. I want to thank HuK for helping me.

Q: Could you have done anything different during the finals?
A: I wanted to psych him out/Play mindgames on him. But it seems as if he outsmarted me.

Q: During the sixth map you put all on one card. How did that feel? How high was your pulse?
A: I was very nervous. My heart was pumping a lot.


Part 2 (HerO interview at 4:00):
http://svtplay.se/v/2619288/e-sport/dh_winter_2011_eftersnack_final_sc2_del2
Translation:
+ Show Spoiler +

Q: First of all I would like to ask a very dumb question, but how does it feel to have won Dreamhack Winter 2011?
A: I still have a hard time believing this, I dont know how to comprehend the feeling. There's not much to say I'm just trying to digest this win right now.

Q: Another dumb question, but why did you chose to go for mothership and three nexus in the end of last game. Was it just to (Excuse my word) tease/be a bit of an ass? Or was it to prove something else?
A: I dont't know if you watched the first game where PuMa won. It could've been hard to see but when PuMa was about to win he danced with a mule. So the way HerO ended the last game was revenge for what PuMa did.

Q: At one point in the series you were ahead with 3-1 but it then went to 3-3. What was your thoughts heading into the last map?
A: When I was ahead with 3-1 I was pretty sure about winning, but when it got to 3-3 I got very insecure. But I did my best and I noticed that the fans cheered for me. It helped a lot and it gave me strength; which ended with good results.

Q: I got a last question. How did it feel to stand on the stage and hear all the swedish and scandinavian fans (mostly) shouting "Hero! Hero! Hero!"?
A: This is the first time I win a tournament of this size and standing infront of this many people standing up and shouting my name. It made me very emotional and it brought tears to my eyes. It has always been a childhood dream to stand infront of this huge of a crowd and feeling these type of feelings. And that dreams have now been achieved.


They overlap a bit.

Enjoy

Wow, in my opinion, the camera work in SVT was much better than the twitch stream, they should've used the same for the twich stream

the more exposure, the better for starcraft

Great interview, starcraft needs more television level exposure IMO!

It was really obvious when you sat there in the audience that Hero felt overwhelmed by the cheers, and I am happy I could be there to help bring that feeling to him

Looking forward to seeing you win the next DH as well Hero!

It's very common in Sweden to know multiple languages. But yes, its sweet to have good translators.

He did an awesome job translating.

I especially like that he assumes the role of the person he translates for by saying "I though so and so" instead of saying "He though so and so". That's what a professional translator would do.
