I might tune into the free stream for a while, but in the past I found the free stream to be intentionally under produced to "encourage" people to pay for the pass. Since I will watch at most half the tournament I can't justify this. | ||

If anything the free streams will be the better production because they always feature the bigger name casters and they have their full casting set up for the free streams, while the pay streams are not at a desk really and dont have much production. | ||

They just post times in CEST. http://open.dreamhack.se/stockholm-tournament-schedule/ Why look at companies that have been here only for a handful of months? Why not look at companies that have been for here much longer, have much more value, and know how to properly do things? An example: Go to http://www.formula1.com/ And please tell me you have any difficulty figuring out the time when all the races start. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ZWTfy.jpg) | ||

But they already have US Nationals, the main event, and Kespa to worry about, so I mean... it's unfortunate but understandable that they weren't able to fit HoTS in somewhere. | ||

Players names are still wrong (Leta is Shin Sang-moon 신상문, at least if you follow the pattern of not westernizing the player names as all the other players are), soulkey's accomplishments are wrong, and fantasy's accomplishments are wrong (I also do not know where stork got 5 third place finishes). I would understand if MLG didn't keep linking to that article, or if a new article was updated, but they keep linking to completely inaccurate information. I hope the 8:30-9:00 Kespa Player Intro has accurate information. | ||

I think you're seeing a conspiracy that's not there. | ||

Stop comparing MLG to Formula 1... Dreamhack has been around for years and is a good competitive tournament that can be much more applicably compared with MLG... Unlike Formula 1... Stop trolling and bogging he thread with stuff that's so minor that it should be a non-issue. | ||
