More DreamHack is always good.
2 Events within 14 days though :/

Good to see the CounterStrike guys going strong. So did Sweden win?
Edit: And I look forward to Moscow in expectation of crazy loud people. Like Katow..Polish loud. But louder.
|
DREAMHACK rocking like they always do!

Possible, maybe CSGO aswell. No idea though

That's actually some pretty sick viewer numbers. Also I am so happy Dreamhack still supports the underdogs (in viewership) and doesn't jump on the LoL bandwagon! Thumbs up for sc2 and dota2!
|
I have no idea why CSGO numbers are exploding this year.
It makes me so so happy, fnatic vs NiP was amazing.

I really doubt that they will do this as long as there is MLG on your land, but who knows.
|
2 more DH´s per year? That is awesome news. Really looking foward to Moscow espicially, I guess, that will be a great audience.

The line to the Dreamarena at Dreamhack Winter was so freaking long, I'd be surprised if even half of the people standing in line got a seat. It was the first time for me watching CS since 1.6, but GO is just a much better E-sport. It has so much better spectating mode so it's easier to follow and the observers catch a lot more frags as well. The fact that it was two swedish teams (each coached by two of the biggest swedish 1.6 stars, carn and heaton) didn't really make it worse either

I gotta say those stats are comparatively much more understandable rather than what many other events seem to do when presenting viewer numbers. I actually think I understand all these numbers and can somewhat put them into perspective.

There are decent players in Russia, Moscow may make sense. Interesting that DH is not expanding more to the west (DreamHack Lyon for example for example). I'd expect Ukraine to be added as well - maybe DreamHack Lviv.

Dreamhack is the fucking awesome.
I love the middle part of the year where it all just explodes with Taeja winning shit.
