EPTEdit: Also the dude was never much for the PR shit (see: The episodes of unfiltered he was on), so I'm not surprised by his tweets at all.

Cause it didn't look like that from the outside. how would you know what it looked like internally? when a tournament is actually going down, things better be prepared beforehand, so no reason to expect him to be the most active post during events themselves. | ||

Maybe he doesn't do well the things that he, as CEO, needs to do. Maybe Dreamhack is going to change some thing and he couldn't be a part of it because his ideas or IDK. | ||

It's like removing Picasso from an exhibition - it's that much of a mistake IMO One of the unique/few controversial, daring, but having guts managers in the eSports scene.. He was the GENIUS for Dreamhack.. Hopefully DH continues with the good stuff, otherwise DH might actually suck.. At least SC-wise I guess TBH | ||

Even though Swedes are pretty obsessed about political-correctness I can't imagine a competent CEO getting booted unless that they felt he was hindering or blocking financial growth somehow. 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. When an organization is succesful and people see the chance, they will take it. It sounds like this has happened here. Sad, but (possibly) true. That said, he does sound rather unprofessional in his answers. He could have gotten a lot more points with the public by being more civil. Lastly: I keep hearing that he was the main supporter of SC2 at DreamHack. If that's the case i'm almost 100% sure that SC2 will be dissappearing from there next year... | ||

You're not missing anything, the suggestion is there. But, we've only heard one side of the story. The person being fired is rarely fair in these situations - I'm going to wait for all the facts to come out before lighting my pitchfork. | ||

Not too worried about an imminent "death" of Dreamhack. What I am worried about however is, according to Robert's tweets, the business side will be running things from now on and there was a power grab. Now, I am not saying he is right or wrong, but that could turn out ugly - if MLG is any indication. Not saying money is not important, but you can't expect the very early business which is esports to blossom if you are milking it too hard too soon. Hope to hear more details and info from the likes of Richard Lewis/slasher etc. | ||
