To be fair, few people would be in their right mind after being fired by their own company and life project.
Depends. For that to be a decent argument, we'd need to know if he was sacked because DH is a greedy company and did him wrong, or if he got sacked because he fucked up.
Greedy company = Investors wants to maximize their return ????
Sounds like investors assessed that Robert Ohlen wasn't very competent at his job since Dreamhack isn't a charity organization. Him going on public talkshows being really wasted makes it somewhat apparent that his judgements isn't very good. Him making a lot of angry tweets instead of more logical explanations doesn't benefit his cause either. If your mad and feel like you need to tell the public you have been mistreated, why not make a more elaborate explanation.
If he really can't keep his head cool here, then I also find it unlikely that is the right man for the job as a CEO.
I agree with this. We should wait for a more professional elaboration from an involved party and not jump to pass judgment over whether or not firing him was the *right* thing to do... but still, he's clearly handling this unprofessionally. I can't imagine that the whole "fuck everyone" attitude is the best way to portray his position; burning bridges and coming off as a lunatic and all that jazz.
The best response I remember ever is when the coach of my fav football team around 5-7 years ago was fired (after dissapointing results) At that time there had been lots of criticsm and rumors about the board charman. However, after the coach was fired he responded to the press: "If any of you guys in 3-5 months wanna contact me and try to get any criticism out of me, you can just forget it. I am not gonna tell you anything."
While I previously had been critical of me (due to his medicore/bad results), that response really changed my perspective on him. Becasue while acting super professionally he also indicated that there actually was a bit of problems on the board-level, and thus he didn't have to take all of the responsiblity on him self. And a couple of years after, he went on to win the championsship with a medicore team.
So sad to see him go ; always liked him, being mature, older and wiser than most in the pretty young gaming community. Hope he continues within the esport-business.
So.. Robert owns over 50% of the company, but he got fired? Can someone please make an article about what the hell is going on soon??
I thought it were some kind of non-profit organization since they would just throw him as CEO! How can they do that if Robert and his father owns the company??

They own the shares, doesn't mean they own the board, which can fire a misbehaving CEO.

Sure, but a 50% majority share holder can fire the board.
Correct, if someone has majority ownership of a company I am pretty sure they will also have the chairman of the board as their representative, and majority of the board will support the one controlling the most stakes in the company..
it will take time to research and it takes balls to do it. because if you write something dreamhack does not like they can blacklist you and say goodbye to ever get something with dreamhack done. simple example you want to do more with dreamhack and counterstrike but dreamhack does not like you...well you will not get hired by dreamhack. is it worth?
as we all know nothing and just speculating lets fire this one. mlg & alex garfield are pissed at dreamhack and made a inside job to control at least dreamhack because they cant do the same with esl. sounds unrealistic? maybe alex told the government dreamhack has oil. they could believe this. now you think thats stupid? well usa still did not find the weapons of mass destruction that irak has! i mean they said it has, they would not lie to their own or the world or would they? i mean if they lied you should think they would get sued, people that did a crime would get in prison, nothing happend so they did not lie.

I go with this version of the events. Just because.
