There was quite a lot of turmoil during the last transition of ownership despite the events doing quite well at that time as well. | ||

Might have something to do with the way DH is running Dreamleague ? basically muscling their way into the scene over other events ? | ||

Dreamleague is DH's Dota 2 league. They announced their qualifiers and stuff just a few days before it was to begin, causing quite some issues within the pro teams and schedules (teams usually have that scheduled several weeks in advance). Forced teams to scramble and reschedule a bunch of shit just to fit in DH. The format's crazy and shit (long ass qualifiers, followed by a lan qualifier, followed by a lan —something along those lines). Then they moved the qualifier a day forward due to crap, causing even more issues (as teams had already rescheduled shit). Then add to it that it was basically a full day of games for the teams participating. Then Nukes (the head admin) was involved in a controversy when a team got a forfeit due to miscommunication (told the team's manager they could go sleep, but they still gave them a loss later when they couldn't play a match). Lots of drama, and bullshitting from Hellspawn (who only said that Nukes had been replaced, not admitting any fault). Then they got to play the match, but as their opp team needed a standin they had to play with one as well (lots of wtf). More admin issues. And probably something else I've forgotten. Basically the GD Studio has handled the Dreamleague previously, but this time they're only a hired talent taking care of the casting. First time DH is running it themselves. People are in agreement it's shit this time around because James & Co aren't involved in the planning and running of it. | ||

A Swedish site also speculates it might have something to do with Dreamleague. Personally I get the feeling this is not something that's happened because of one specific thing. We'll probably learn more later but I think it's likely something more going on just based on how people have reacted and how this seem to have been handled. Basically replacing someone on short notice doesn't usually happen just because a tournament was run badly. | ||

There aren't really any facts apparent yet so it's impossible to make any accurate inferences at this point in time. But it will be interesting to hear from Dreamhack/ Robert as this unfolds. | ||
