SVT sends Dreamhack on national television

Today it was anounced that the Swedish government owned television channel SVT will broadcast Dreamhack Eizo Tournament both on television and on their website SVT Play.

SVT has been part of Dreamhack for a couple of tournaments now, latest was at Dreamhack Winter when they were broadcasting from the Kinnarps Arena where HerO won the Dreamhack Winter Tournament.

Since SVT is expanding from only broadcasting Starcraft II on their website SVT Play, to also make it available in every household in Sweden, I guess SVT do see some possibilities within Starcraft 2.

SVT is not a commercial channel so it does not make money. They don't broadcast Starcraft 2 because they want to earn money. They do it because they see a huge interest of it and it's their job as a state owned channel, to broadcast what the swedish people wish to see.

Since SVT is a government owned channel, SVT is available to all households in Sweden. You do not need a special cable-tv package or anything like that to view SVT.

Update: From new sources it seems as if only Dreamhack Summer event is confirmed for television broadcast. Dreamhack Open Eizo will probably only be send online on SVT Play.

OMG NICE!!!

I would prefer to see this in other countries first since i already know sweden is pretty big on esports (relatively) but it's good to know at least 1 foreign country (except maybe china) are speeding up the growth of esports :D

SVT are going to brodcast all the top 8 matches (from the quarter finals til the finals) this Dreamhack on their website, so I guess we can expect the same (or maybe more) next Dreamhack (which is the one that's going to be broadcasted on television).

Well, many people do have access to SVT I thought, so we could be able to watch it on television, but probbably with swedish casters.

So many great news today.

But I wonder how big will this actually be (if anyone knows this yet)?! Will it be broadcasted on the main channel which the average Swedish spectators watches?

Seems it hasn't been decided. Probably depends on scheduling of that given weekend and so on...

SVT has two "main" channels: SVT1 and SVT2. They also have SVTb which is a childrens channel, and Kunskapskanalen/knowledge channel) which shows documentaries and such. SVTb and Kunskapskanalen share the same channel(children during morning/day and docu during evenings). In addition to these channels there is SVT24 where news are broadcast every hour and where a lot of recent minor sport broadcasts have been placed. I would say that it's reasonable to believe that DH will be put on SVT24.

ALSO... If anyone wants to contact SVT and tell them how awesome this is, go here: http://svt.se/2.81956/stall_en_fraga and then do as in my image here http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/9448/screenshot2012042000114.png

I think they must use Swedish casters or subtitles to be able to broadcast it.
Have you ever seen a show on any swedish channel completely in non-Swedish? I haven't ^^
But Swedish casters is better than nothing, right?

*sigh* I'm trying to imagine NRK over here broadcasting something that actually interests someone under the age of 47 Nevertheless this is amazing for Sweden /jealousy, and really solidifies its position as the #2 Starcraft nation behind the undefeatable Korea. And really, that doesn't count, because the koreans are obviously all superhuman, so really sweden is the best.

SVT actually are pretty good at adapting this age of Internet. All of the sports commentators and experts are on Twitter and actively discussing matches and relating stuff. They also have a Facebook site: http://www.facebook.com/SVTSport?ref=ts Can we dream about a SVT Esport site?

Well, many people do have access to SVT I thought, so we could be able to watch it on television, but probbably with swedish casters.

The Swedish casters are AWFUL, I really hope they can use the english casters in the future.

I think they must use Swedish casters or subtitles to be able to broadcast it.
Have you ever seen a show on any swedish channel completely in non-Swedish? I haven't ^^
But Swedish casters is better than nothing, right?

Not sure if they're better than nothing actually ;P
DH should try to replace them atleast, there's probably somebody better out there.


I've been casting during the last two main DH events. I would also like to see someone more qualified do it, but to my knowledge, there isn't one.
On the 6th day JF made Reavers and on the 7th day JF put his opponent to rest

People should also comment and share the news articles that discuss this on their facebook/twitters, so media will realize that there's actually a huge esport market out there. Here's some recent news articles:

It's not really that amazing, SVT is a channel influenced by public service, which meens they have to send what a small minority of the population wants to watch.

Well, this is the first time - We've actually had some Esport, CS, battlefield etc. some years ago in Denmark aswell, which they tried for almost a year period of time, but didn't get too much succes I guess, since it's stopped for now.

Wolf and Apollo will cast from quarter finals til the finals. The groups will be casted by Apollo, Wolf and Incontrol. And yes you're indeed correct Incontrol will be the "sofa-guy".

Logic~


NRK did broadcast the playoff from HF league (css) for some years, first live on net, then on TV a couple of weeks later. To bad KongKord (the man behind it) got another job.

First of, use the search function, I already made a thread about this 5 hours before you.

Second, this doesn't really belong to SC2 generel yet, since there are no actual press release saying that it will be SC2 broadcasted on terrestrial TV, only that SOME tournaments will be shown.

On topic though, this is of course great news for the whole E-sport community.

I don't think you understand. Esports in Sweden has grown so big that SVT steps in and gives it to us. What is NOT amazing about that?

If you read the link from svt.se in the op it specifically says they will broadcast the last 7 games of sc2. So why doesn't it belong in sc2 general? It also says they will broadcast live games for marksänd (translation?) tv during dreamhack summer.


SVT sänder direkt från Dreamhack Open

SVT sänder direkt från E-sportturneringen i StarCraft II när Dreamhack Open Stockholm arrangeras nu i helgen den 21-22 april.

SVT visar de sju avslutande matcherna i turneringen och sänder under söndagen mellan kl 16.00-00.00 här på svt.se/esport och i SVT Play.

Dreamhack Open Stockholm är startskottet för esportsäsongen 2012 som SVT kommer att fortsätta att bevaka och sända live från under hela året. Under 2012 blir det mer livesänd esport på SVT än någonsin tidigare.

Målsättningen är att sändningarna ska visas på SVT Play i första hand, men Dreamhack Summer kommer även att sändas live på marksänd TV för första gången.

That's for this weeks DreamHack Stockholm Open, and that will be broadcasted on SVTPlay (As DH has been since 2009), not on terrestrial TV, which the title was referring too.

Yes, DreamHack Stockholm Open this weekend will have the last 7 matches broadcasted on SVTPlay, but Dreamhack Summer will be broadcasted on Terestrial TV. How much of it and on which of their channel is not yet announced but it is still quite some time left untill that tournament. I'll leave a translation of what it says on http://svt.se/2.155436/svt_e-sport


SVT broadcasts directly from Dramhack Open

SVT broadcasts directly from the E-sport tournament in StarCraft II when Dreamhack Open Stockholm is arranged this weekend the 21-22 April.

SVT broadcasts the seven final games in the tournament and will broadcast during Sunday between 16.00-00.00 on svt.se/esport and in SVT Play.

Dreamhack Open Stockholm is the starting signal for esports season 2012 that SVT will continue to cover and broadcast live from over the entire year. There will be more live broadcasted esport then ever before on SVT during 2012.

The goal is that the broadcasts will be sent on SVT Play in first hand, but Dreamhack Summer will also be broadcasted live on terestrial TV for the first time

Edit: This really needs to get some more attention so that people tune in and support this! A feature on TL or at least put the info in the OP would be nice

SVT is the man.

Taktik: basically it is one of the three channels which basically every household haves and regularly watches, so expect it to be the largest TV-channel in Sweden for roughly 1/3 of the time.

I think it's broadcasted at a great time to get more people into starcraft. Summer breaks will have started and all young guys (sc's main demographic) will be staying up late. Sure many will be out partying but I still think many that has never heard of the competetive seen will see this and become interested.

I actually think it's good if the casters are Swedish since it'll be easier for younger swedes to understand what's going on plus Swedish casters, from what I've seen, usually keeps it on a basic level and explains what's happening. I know a few friends that have stumbled upon SVT's online broadcasts and they liked it a lot.

Why is this amazing? This is just some lame reportage shit as usual. Only one game will be shown on TV, the grand final. Better than nothing, still not amazing.

Edit: Ok this is a little bit better than what I read at first. Its the "final games" they will air on tv. Probably semi aswell then.

the problem with casting in swedish has been the casters and not the language. The problem with the SM casters is that they are both play by play, that there swedish language skills isn't top notch and that english starcraft terms are used too often. If i can speak about the game with buddies then surely a swedish caster can do a decent job.

I think the landlord, by law, must provide SVT to all residents. Of course you need to get the TV yourself.

Only bad thing about this: The casters are fucking horrible Interrupt each other, stuttering, bad game knowledge etc. Oh well at least it's going in the right direction!

Not to mention the swenglish! I'm too embarrassed to have sound on. When they aired it on SVT Play last summer I think they said the following: "Gamet har begint.". At that point I had to turn it off.

Nope, it's just the grand final that will be broadcasted. Also, during Eizo Open Stockholm, they kept Apollo/Wolf as the casters instead of replacing them with Swedish casters. Probably wont be true for the summer event, but here's top hoping.

Anyhow, just checked, and I have access to SVT2HD, so this will be glorious

It's not that bad tbh.. When it's people from your own country/language that mispronounces or speaks with really heavy accents, it always sound way worse than it actually is

I seriously hope they don't have Endarspire and Maven casting this, they're like the most awful casting duo I've ever heard throughout all games. I'd rather prefer if they would get some swedish player that didn't make the finals to cast it in Swedish. Perhaps ThorZaIN and MorroW? Maddelisk did one of the Esport-SM stops, she was quite good as well. Just not Endarspire and Maven.

Well played, Sweden.

I hope this is a crossover success there. I am still a firm believer that SC2 could appeal to broader viewing masses, and if this is successful that would be a great selling point for other countries and networks to give it a shot.

Swenglish is fine. Translating everything into Swedish is just insane. But Swenglish, especially with gaming in mind, is actually pretty defined.
"Game ett har börjat." (Game one has started) - This is fine. They (sort of) do the same in tennis.
"Gamet har börjat" (The game has started) - This is ok. A bit too Swenglish to blame it on gaming though.
"Gamet har begint" (The game has startedt)" - No. Just no. Go away.

Don't worry about the swedish commentary. I wont be there. To my knowledge, noone else is going to either.

In other words:
I'm 99% sure that the casting shown on SVT2 will in fact be in english.

Also, you guys are jerks. I did the best I could. And can't really remember saying 'Gamet har begint'. Ever.

I think many people have started mixing you up with maven and endarspire, who are a really annoying combo, but I listened to your bw commentary and it was quite good. So I don't think you're the problem really. I think the main problem with Swedish casters is there chemistry, an example is esport-sm where most stops where casted by maven and endarspire, and BOTH of them did really bad. But when Maven casted with maddelisk at on of the recent stops, he was doing quite well.

I'm sorry if any of my comments seemed rude, or in any way came across as insulting against you or your cocaster(s?). I happen to enjoy casting in English more, especially Apollo's, and that's the only reason I was hoping for them to keep Apollo as the caster on the TV broadcast.

Ehm, it's amazing because it's the first time they have ever done it, and a big step towards even greater things to come. You didn't expect them to dedicate and entire day of broadcasting to SC the first time they try it?

Sweden, the first country ever to broadcast Esports on international TV? I don't know about SouthKorea though, have they broadcast SC:BW on international TV or did they only do it on cable/none international TV.

EDIT: and yes this is fucking huge obviously.

So many great news today.

But I wonder how big will this actually be (if anyone knows this yet)?! Will it be broadcasted on the main channel which the average Swedish spectators watches?

Seems it hasn't been decided. Probably depends on scheduling of that given weekend and so on...

SVT has two "main" channels: SVT1 and SVT2. They also have SVTb which is a childrens channel, and Kunskapskanalen/knowledge channel) which shows documentaries and such. SVTb and Kunskapskanalen share the same channel(children during morning/day and docu during evenings). In addition to these channels there is SVT24 where news are broadcast every hour and where a lot of recent minor sport broadcasts have been placed. I would say that it's reasonable to believe that DH will be put on SVT24.

ALSO... If anyone wants to contact SVT and tell them how awesome this is, go here: http://svt.se/2.81956/stall_en_fraga and then do as in my image here http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/9448/screenshot2012042000114.png

Not sure if it has been mentioned already, but SVT has actually broadcast e-sports before on national television. A few years ago, I don't remember which year exactly, I'm pretty sure they broadcast the CS 1.6 finals on SVT24.

In any case though, this is great news apart from the fact that they will have to go with the somewhat terrible Swedish casters. Oh well, that's a price you have to pay I suppose.

SVT is a public limited company and is owned by an independent foundation, Förvaltningsstiftelsen för Sveriges Radio AB. This foundation's members are politicians appointed by the government. It is funded through a special licensing fee, which is allocated by the Swedish Riksdag. SVTs regulatory framework is by Swedish law and has its board and chairman appointed by the Swedish government. It is now separate from, but was until 1979 part of, Sveriges Radio, which is the public radio broadcaster. Its status could be described as that of a quasi-autonomous non-government organization.

https://svt.se/2.60175/1.707564/ar_svt_statligt
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sveriges_Television

TL;DR: SVT is NOT a government owned television broadcaster.

Well, many people do have access to SVT I thought, so we could be able to watch it on television, but probbably with swedish casters.

The Swedish casters are AWFUL, I really hope they can use the english casters in the future.

I think they must use Swedish casters or subtitles to be able to broadcast it.
Have you ever seen a show on any swedish channel completely in non-Swedish? I haven't ^^
But Swedish casters is better than nothing, right?

Not sure if they're better than nothing actually ;P
DH should try to replace them atleast, there's probably somebody better out there.


Naniwa + thorzain please.

Edit: Obviously not while they're playing...but, c'mon...Naniwa, Thorzain I'm sure they'd be better than just about any sweedish casters out there.

It would be SO SICK if they would broadcast everything from the english stream, but then everything would have to be almost fully scripted (so that you can produce subtitles) I guess T___T?

I wonder if they day will ever come when I can turn on my TV and see Incontrol and/or 2GD there on stage, presenting, trolling about :D.

That would be sick.

I just want to clarify even more how incredible this is. The Dreamhack finals will be on a TVchannel that everyone with a TV in Sweden can see, as well as many people in our nordic fellow countries. It will send the entire final with the English commentators.

I think this is completely amazing that I'll get to sit down with my old folks and watch eSports on national TV. Also note what the OP has already explained, SVT is not a commercially funded channel but instead funded by a sort of tax for everyone who owns a TV. Their job is to provide "public service", meaning a huge variety of programs. It is therefore so, incredibly important that we as a community (especially the Swedish community) give them credit for this. Make sure every TV you know of will be on when they send Dreamhack. Mail them to tell them how awesome it is. Americans, germans, frenchmen, koreans, all of you guys can send them a mail and explain how incredibly cool this is.

We need to make these companies understand that we as a community and viewerbase is highly loyal and giving. For example, if you're from abroad, ask them if you can somehow buy the channel, and so on, and so on. Show them how many people are interested in eSports.

Gogo community and show them our support!

Well I would not say that it will be swedish casters for sure. For all dreamhack events so far they broadcasted it on the web service with swedish commentators but on the last dreamhack they had the english stream straight up. This seemed to me to be a sign that people wanted the english commentary so they switched to that. Might be that they carry that on for regular tv.

It will be the English casters.

From Ina Bäckströms, the Swedish studio host, twitter on the question of casters: "haha nej det blir de engelska ^^", meaning "haha no it will be the english [casters] ^^"

Just noticed they'll actually start broadcasting on TV at 20:00 on monday at SVT24.
In other words, 20:00-22:45 on SVT24, and then 22:45 to 01:00 on SVT2 (& HD)

I'm just watching at normal SVT2 but I have a full HD TV so maybe I have to watch it on SVT2 HD to get better quality.
Atm I can read the text but it's pretty blurry.

Nevermind everything I said, I happened to have SVT2 HD and it was crystal clear on SVT2 HD
Don't usally watch TV so didn't know which channels i had

Are you sure you can't watch it outside Sweden? Afaik they used to remove the GeoIP block on DH streams.
If not, http://www.twitch.tv/dreamhacktv should be the same during the actual game, since it's the same casters on TV.

Are you sure? The scheduled time is 22:45-01:00, yes, but there is no other show on until at 09:00. I doubt they'll end it before the games end.

the statistics on viewers is only based on people with a special box, so it is probably better to watch the internet stream to support e-sports.

unless you are one of the thousand or so in sweden that have one of those counting-boxes ofcourse!

Generally disappointed with how they handle this on TV. Having the finals of SC2, the most "friendly" game for the public in my oppinion (compared to Dota 2) in the middle of the night, not even starting at 00:20 on a Monday (Tuesdag, err). This delay hurts this oppertunity very much... And if SVT2 stops sending @ 01:00, that's just awful. Well lets see how this goes...

Was fun watching sc2 on the TV. I hope they continue to air these kinds of things in the future, I don't think the viewer numbers matter too much for SVT, they are none-profit right? They just air things as a service to the population.

Do you think a show like "Fråga Doktorn" or "Språka på Serbokratiska" have thousands and thousands of viewers?

"Fråga Doktorn" is huge in Sweden. Feels like one of those programs everyone over 60 watches to get their daily dose of hypochondria.

I think we just need to show some appreciation to SVT for doing this, but I don't know how...

SVT is aware of a big interest, that's why they are doing this, I doubt they expected huge numbers, especially at the time/day it aired. But i doubt they care about viewernumbers if this is something that will be aired this late.

im more afraid of the production value than the number of viewers..

its ok to not stick to the schedule and be a little unproffessional if all the viewers are dedicated fans watching streams, but if its gonna be broadcasted on tv atleast it should start as schedueled

SVT2HD was awesome! You get the best quality there is, without having to worry about the stream lagging at all. So nice ^^

Here's a picture of the overnights ratings from for swedish TV

[image loading]

What are the values?
Tot rating = average # of viewers over the entire program length (in '000s)
Tot reach = total number of people exposed to at least 3 minutes of the program (in '000s)

Numbers above the bars is the diagram is number of reached in each age category (in '000s).

So in essence, 211k uniques, 43k average basically.

Was it just me or was it extremely weird watching Incontrol at my TV? The way he presented him self seemed appropriate on stream, but I would expect different behaviour from a host on television. Not that there is anything wrong with it though.

I had no problem with that at all, Sopranos used to air earlier than that on SVT so I think swearing is fine

To some degree it matters but svt are getting paid not to stare themselves at ratings. They are supposed to have a variaty of shows that appeal to different demographics even if it isn't that many of them. Naturally if no one watches it might not happen again but it's not the main focus point for these kinds of shows.

Also for this "genre" of shows the svtplay views will probably have a heavier focus than live viewers.

It was really weird (but awesome of course) to sit down in front of the TV to watch Starcraft. I remember when I started watching Brood War in 2008, I would've never imagined this.

Out of a population of ~9.5 million. Imagine if they aired MLG in the states where there's ~313 million. Ee wouldn't even need nearly as high of a percentage to get respectable ratings.

It's been on TV and in various events like festivals or celebrations of odd cultures from time to time but not national or in any serious form, and certainly not mainstream

I think those ratings are pretty good considering it was past midnight on a monday (tuesday) and it also had competition from SVTPlay and the Twitch streams.

If you read what the numbers said:
SVT didn't have 211 views on DH if what we compare it to what you see in twitch. They had average viewership of 43K And 211K that did watch a part of it(at least 3min). This was during a quite long and late timeslot did they reach 6.1 of current viewer at that time

Edit:
I think was it did drag out quite long before they announced part (Starcraft 2) started. I mean I did watch all weekend but had to go to sleep as to be up at 6:00 am. Feel they droped quite hard there. But It would be worse if they did kick out the Dota players tho.

As a related note (but just a tad OT) the local daily City Malmö-Lund had a few lines about DH today, talking about who the winner in SC2 was (Mana) and mentioning Sase and Naniwa as top finishing Swedes. So perhaps a breakthrough in general in media when those results are reported as sports results are?

I noticed the Canal+ logo in the list of DH partners and sponsors.
I wonder what will they do together, C+ is typically the type of channel that could broadcast sc2/ESPORTS.

I'm very very curious.

If I remember correctly, the broadcasting rights for last years DH:Valencia were bought by spanish Canal+ and I'm pretty sure they broadcasted it for the spanish audience.

Oh cool, are they going to publish the viewer count from the TV broadcast?

Haha, the TV was lagging. I guess they're not sending it from Spain to Sweden via satellite.. But rather some poor internet link. :/
Although the TV is ahead of the official stream.

Is it my TV or the broadcast which have weird colors/saturation?

Anyway, it feels more relaxed and strangely satisfying to watch it on the TV rather than on the computer. Probably because I can watch from the couch but there might be something more to it.

I'm watching on my computer monitor, and everything looks like usual. Comparing it to the twitch stream there doesn't seem to be much difference in color at all.

I wouldnt mind if they put Ina Bäckström up as a host or interviewer for Dreamhack, she does a really good job.

I turned on my tv yesterday just to check it out, and I have to say, watching Starcraft on a mainstream, public, government-run channel was indeed a pretty surreal experience.

Really cool that SVT are taking small steps towards making e-sports available for a mainstream audience. Well done.

From http://www.mms.se/HotTop/hottop.asp , it looks like Dreamhack Open had 26k viewers on SVT24 from 20:00-23:05 and 16k viewers on SVT2 from 23:05-00:00.

The program on SVT24 after Dreamhack, DET LJUVA LIVET I ALASKA, only had 14k viewers.

If I read the HotTop numbers correct (and if they are accurate, I have no idea) it was 9140 when it aired on svt2.
Interesting notes, slightly more women than men watched. Also the more than half of the viewers were 40+. I'd guess alot of old people watched whatever was on svt2 before dreamhack and left the box on. 2382 60+ viewers strongly indicate something like this.

I have no idea how that site works or collect data so I'm just guessing.

EDIT: I apparently missread something and also got beaten to it.

Aww, not too many especially compared to the last televised match :/

Better than nothing I guess, but especially since some people watching on the TV already watched sc2 online, it isn't that big.

I'm sure many sc2 fans are young and live with their parents, they can't know which one in the family is watching

I was despairing thinking only 16 people watched it, xD (Only on TL! ) 16K is definitely not bad viewer numbers in my opinion. Have they done it before in sweden?

This saturday they're doing it again from Dreamhack.
20:00-24:00 on SVT24, so no HD this time, which is a huge shame.

Every DH event is on swedish national television now so I don't think we need to make a bigger deal about it than the proleague being on OGN
