Hehe agreed. Imagine a press release like this instead:

Is there an internal power struggle within DreamHack?
You bet your ass! The amount of backstabbing, name calling and beard pulling we've had between the board, the management and the employee federation has been freaking biblical in proportions. We tried to bring in mediators and negotiators with experience from middle east, but they just shook their heads and left for some easier assignments in IS-controlled areas in Iraq instead. I tell you, it aint been easy lately!

Has Robert been the subject of a Coup d'état?

Yes. This has been a long process in which over the past months the board and leadership within DreamHack has unanimously seen a need for change within the leadership of the company and communicated with Robert through various means like poisoned darts, nasty signed post-its, hidden spiders, honey traps, you name it. Hell, we even sold his desk on alibaba to some dude in Arizona, but he just wouldn't take a hint! It has not been something that has happened suddenly or overnight, I can tell you, oh no!

Why is the board relieving Robert as CEO at DreamHack?
We just can't stand the guy anymore. There is something about him that rubs us the wrong way these days. Besides, we have agreed to put one of our pals as the CEO. He might not be as qualified, but he's a good bloke and he does what he is told to without protesting or trying to reason or raising interesting points or challenging decisions in any kind of way. Our buddy, he is!

Will more employees leave DreamHack?
Ha! Just wait and see. Christmas is coming. Need I say more? Some people better shape up right now and they know it...

Will DreamHack stop with activity X or arrange competition in game X now?
We're pondering going into activity XX, and our consultants are already into activity XXX. Me, I'm having a glass of XXXX every now and then! How about that?

Tbh I would probably be a fan of a company that would do that type of press release, even if it's all fake and just for fun. Between your post and Wax's this thread way funnier than it should be d:

Is there an internal power struggle within DreamHack?
No. The daily operation at DreamHack between owners, management, employees, the board and our crew is working all fine. The plan how DreamHack should be led and developed is crystal clear and there’s no internal conflict between owners, leadership, employees and the board about this.

Telling how they would like to be seen instead of telling what really was go on ...

... why do seemingly all PR guys think that is a good idea?

It was not a Coup d'état, some people don't like him or his work and he was released, simple like that XD At least thats what it looks like to me. Ohlen is pissed becuase he was released from a CEO position when nothing was going terribly wrong and no scandals happened.
In PvZ the zerg can make the situation spire out of control but protoss can adept to the situation.

We have a statement on one side, and a tantrum, passive aggressive tweets and general unprofessionality on the other. Not saying DHs statement is the correct one, but Ohlen doesn't do much to add to his credibility. He actually does exactly the opposite.


He's just one guy and he might have gotten screwed over pretty hard. I'd be angry as well. And to be fair, if he would be "professional", in other words politically correct, then people wouldn't be talking about this nearly as much. He can't be expected to sweep this under the carpet with sweet talk just like DH is trying to do.

Dreamhack released an official statement, he did nothing but, and i'm sorry, bitch. How is DH sweeping something under the rug if they're the only one actually making a statement?

The only thing Ohlen is doing is calling people retards (literally) for thinking it might have had something to do with gamersgate. That's literally all the content of his tweets. Bitching. I don't know what you would do if you "got screwed over pretty hard", but i'd certainly get the truth out there instead of slandering.

edit: in fact, one specific tweet of him makes me think he's doing this shit on purpose.

ROFL Baneriders perfect comment

And they do actually say: 'At the end of the day its about the faith and confidence internally for Robert Ohlén as CEO was missing' which is pretty much PR speak for 'We hated his guts'

I wouldn't mind if Ohlen was throwing Dreamhack under the bus, it's the passive-aggressive crap that is really irritating me somewhat. Perhaps he is bound by some legal agreements not to actually discuss certain things, but then if he signed those kind of NDAs or what have you he shouldn't be hinting at stuff at all.

@Baneriders the hallowed world of TL+ surely awaits you...

He was asked if he's under NDA, his answer was that he makes his own laws and does what amuses him.

Not that it would be any answer to the question, but if he actually would want to set things straight, he would've simply said "yay" or "nay".

edit: to my knowledge, there is no clause that actually forbids you from disclosing wether or not you are bound to a NDA.
On track to MA1950A.
