I wish Dreamhack wouldn't wait till monday to explain this. Way too much speculation going on without the whole story.

Tbh if Ohlen didn't tweet in a weird/unprofessional manner there would be no speculations in the first place

Why so?

Because we would have known with an official and carefully prepared announcement from DH instead of a weird tweet that made people believe it was a hack^^ Now DH has to explain themselves, just like if they had done something bad, and they'll have to rush their explanations because the longer they wait, the longer people can speculate/hate on DH for no apparent reason since we don't know anything about what happened
Edit : just look at the comment above me. We don't know anything about why Ohlen's been fired, but the way he acted let people think it's not his fault but DH's. That's bullshit

So what if he WAS treated unfairly and got stabbed in the back? You'd expect him to keep silent so Dreamhack could push out their pr statement (which they already have done btw)? How exactly do you expect someone to react in such a situation? He's not responsible for keeping Dreamhacks good name if they don't deserve it. Maybe he's slandering them, I don't know but saying he shouldn't tweet "unprofessionally" so there won't be speculation is stupid at best. He don't have any duty to protect them regardless how they've acted. If it turns out they had valid reasons I'll fully support the notion that he shouldn't do what he's doing, but we can't know that until there's more information and that won't come from him keeping silent.

Beats me. I think people try to put it on him, since he's a swede. Swedes and finns don't really get along, at least that's what i gathered from a swedish friend of mine.

Obviously, i got no opinion on that, since i didn't follow anything in that regard, most likely some made-up bullshit like it usually is with those things, and then blown out of proportion.

If he was indeed treated unfairly, then I somehow doubt that a tweet is the correct way of showing that. He needs to explain how he was treated unfairly, and why DH is the worst organization on earth or something along those lines, and I doubt Twitter is the correct place to do that, especially with the character limitation. So to answer your question, I expect someone, especially if he/she is an important person in the scene, to react in a slightly more elaborate manner than an unclear tweet. You are right on the fact that he's not entitled to protect their good name though.
