Not people, just one person. And that's the end of that, thanks Robert.

I think a lot of people are just shocked by this and grasping at anything that makes some kind of sense...

Well, this is shitty. Robert's a pretty eccentric guy, triply so for a CEO, so this isn't shocking per se. I hope he lands on his feet and I really hope this won't curb the growth of SC2 DH events.

Hard to see how Dreamhack comes out ahead after this. Seems like a shitty situation for all involved.

Hm, whatever the true story behind the scene may be, it is highly unprofessional for a CEO to make tweets like that.

There's enough tight-lipped PR bullshit to go around, I find it refreshing.

Man that is crazy. Obviously from everything I've seen as a spectator, Robert has been an amazing and lovable character who I like a lot... but the truth is that we know little about what he may be like as a leader. Eccentric individuals are often the worst possible CEO's. I hope the best for him, but unfortunately I don't know where else a guy like that would end up in the industry

Weird, afaik serious companies don't tend to get rid of competent CEOs. Seems like someone wanted a bigger piece of the cake. Maybe.

Will Dreamhack now partner up with EA and Ubisoft??

I worry about it affecting his ability to bounce back from this. (I'm sure he will, but what opportunities might be lost because of it).

Sad news, but does anyone know what effect this has on dreamhack?

Basically he was making a serious mockery out of the dota2 tournement with stuff like forcing teams playing against a team with a standin to deactivate one of their own players and get a stand in with zero prior notice, and putting teams in finland in Western Europe and stuff. It was getting to the point of damaging their brand with sponsors and veiwers.

Maybe it was the comments he said on Unfiltered like "Hitler won WW2!" or something to that effect. I know he was drunk when he said that, but when has that ever been a valid excuse?

Because EU West teams have to play some or all of their games vs NA Teams on the US East server, and that puts Finnish teams at a fairly major disadvantage compared of if they were in EU East which would have all games on EU West making it a lot more fair for them. Other teams that far east on the map are in Eu West, but not finish teams.

He said that the statement "Hitler won WW2!" was the most false statement one could make...

Meh, sad news. Players won't try half as hard at DH now, since there is no bear hug from Ohlen to win.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
