DreamHack announced today the two featured competitions of DreamHack Tours 2015, the first stop of DreamHack Open 2015.
DreamHack Tours – May 8-10th, Tours, France
DreamHack Open – StarCraft II: $25,000
DreamHack Open – Counter Strike: Global Offensive: $40,000
It will be the first DreamHack event in France and will also have 4 BYOC tournaments with Hearthstone, StarCraft II, League of Legends and Counter Strike: Global Offensive.
Jean-Christophe Arnaud, CEO of Malorian SARL, coordinator company behind the event in France: “After the outstanding welcome from the french gaming community regarding the opening of four big LAN tournaments in CS:GO, StarCraft II, Hearthstone and League of Legends, hosting the first stop of the DreamHack Open 2015 is an honor and a priceless occasion to celebrate the coming of the Dreamhack in France. You could not ask for more for a first event!”
Tomas Lyckedal, Head of Esports at DreamHack AB: “There is no doubt that 2015 will be a huge year for Counter Strike: Global Offensive, especially after the results we’ve seen at DreamHack Winter and DreamHack Stockholm with French teams excelling. Alongside the very impressive results of French players in the WCS qualifiers for StarCraft II, we are tremendously excited to bring the first stop of DreamHack Open 2015 featuring both StarCraft II and Counter Strike to DreamHack Tours!”

I'll definitely be there, SC2 and CS:GO \o/

Do we know the exact location of the event?
Are there some tickets to pre-order? How much does it cost?!

HYPE HYPE !!

DreamHack Tours 2015 doesn't stand for "tour" as in "circuit", but for the city in France, HERE.

Holy shit they actually dared to make it happen not in Paris, grats to DH !

Hehe I read it wrong too, but cool to see DH in France!

Didn't expect sc2 to be there after the Ohlen drama. Guess we all worried for nothing then.
|
|
|
So what about sc2 being the less relevant game? Will it be given a less fancy stage as it has had so far? I mean the casters and hosts in front of the gleamy wall, the space allocated to it (which was anyway much smaller than lol for example), etc? 25k prize pool is not too bad... I really hope the production is as good as it has been so far.
|
25k is the same amount of money Dreamhack awarded last year for sc2, so I would guess that the only difference would be a smaller stage.

Yeah, looks like CS will be the main game this year. Sweden has always been a pretty CS loving country so make sense with how big it is atm too. Was Dota as a main game last year I think. Things change and DH will put the bigger stage for the bigger audience which makes sense. The prizepool stays the same.
|
maybe
if there are 2 stage, CS will be in the bigger and SC2 in the smaller
if there is 1 stage (like DH Bucharest were I went 2 times), probably the last game with the grand final and with more hype will be CS and the grand final for SC2 will be in the afternoon
|
Can't miss that ! :D So happy to have this event in France!

Why?
Have you seen the opportunities they got, esp. with regards to prices, places, etc. in France?
I really don't know where they could've done that in Paris for a decent price...
It may seem random considering the cities in France, but not that much once you take everything into account.
Looking forward to be there. Oh and to meet fellow TL members of course

The only problem with Tours is that isn't near to a big airport so isn't easy to go there.
It's time to spend lots of money for the eSport passion!

What are BYOC tournaments?

That's another problem indeed. But if you take your tickets early enough, Paris -> Tours shouldn't be that expensive.

That's what I'm going to do. Do you know if it is more easy/less expansive to do Paris --> Tours by train/bus?

there is a TGV line paris tours so train will be less expansive than bus (aournd 30€, 1h15) but i bet you can find pple to carpool with ( around 15€(for total cost of 50€gas and toll road), 2h30) 
edit: forgot the most important, no bus ^^

I'll definitely be there!
For the casters, I'm torn between having French casters that can bring the hype to the crowd (especially people who don't know much about SC2), and having English casters who will provide better analysis of the (hopefully) top-tier games.
I remember DH Moscow, where only Smix was on-site, and the panel was in Stockholm. It felt a little weird from a stream viewer point of view.

Why not just have French casters for the live audience and English ones for the stream? Just too many people to hire?

Dunno. Bus should be cheaper and will be longer, but after all, it's not _that_ far from Paris. Train should be like around one hour with TGV, two hours otherwise. With the bus, you can easily expect 3 hours I'd say. As for the price, the train company website still does not list these trips so no info about that yet.

That's kind of what they did in Moscow, having Russian casters on-site.
The English casters were not able to interact with the local crowd, and Smix had a hard time engaging with the audience imo.

How do you intend to do paris-tours by plane when there is no line?

I had really hoped it would be in Paris or a city that's more to the east. Tours is unfortunately too far.

my mystake, you're right.
however difference of prices between rome - paris(plane, i found 63€)) then paris-tours(train, 60€) and rome-paris-tours(245€) is double :S.
I hope you have better prices than me^^

Tours is much cheaper than Paris and is a nice city. The only possible issue is that it's far from a big airport, but the train coverage is decent.

Not really an issue because even if the direct tgv line will always be cheaper, you can go to Tours from Rome/Berlin and land at the local airport for less than 250€

There's only one question I've unsure of: With our new status within the DreamHack organization, will that mean fewer players in the event?

Having more or less players doesn't change much the cost of the event, does it? I think maybe we'll get less broadcasted matches in the early stages, but then we still have community casters to make up for it.

it depends what you're excepting. Cashprize was a little bit less at Fragbite Masters S3 so you can expect the same players and a little bit more^^

I really want it to be great but a BYOC tournament is annoying if that is the pro tournament (and from what I ve heard it is). I dont think many foreigners will attend if they have to bring their own computer with them.
Also chosing Tours s a bit random...even if I know it s mainly for budgetary reasons. Anyways, hopefully it ll end up being a great tournament and not like most French LANs (I m looking at you, GA!).
TL meet-up anyone?

Are you entirely sure? This is not the feedback I got from the French pro-scene unless things have changed really recently.
Then again, I ll wait for a proper announcement.
EDIT: point being: there is always a BYOC tournament at DH and it s great cuz a lot of people can play. But will there be another tournament that won't be BYOC? If you or anybody can confirm this (with source) I d be happy
EDIT2: your OP is very clear. The site is not that clear actually. Anyways that s great news, can't wait to see the player's list

DreamHack Open tournaments and BYOC Tournaments are 2 different things

Dreamhack is still (a very big) LAN. The BYOCs are amateur leagues, Lan-Party Style.
CS:GO and SC II will be professional tournaments.

I hope they'll cast in french on the main stage. English speaking people will be fine with a piggyback broadcast.

Hmm, then I can understand the raised eyebrows. Two hours and a half isn't that short and if you add extra time for a flight (+ actually going to the airport in your country) or car from other regions of France it could be really long...

French people complaining about the location choice.

How surprising d: Cmon people, can't we just enjoy having an eSports event in France that is not organized by a French organizer? Tours is not Paris, sure, but it's not that bad.

You re right! Tours actually has good connection to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport for our foreign friends (but if you land at Orly you re screwed). 1hr train (TGV) from Paris too. Plus it has a reputation as a nice student city so I am expecting cheap pubs and whatnot!
Lorning, are you planning to attend? Let's meet up! I ll bring my CJ gear :p

French people complaining.
How surprising d: Cmon people, can't we just enjoy having an eSports event in France that is not organized by a French organizer? Tours is not Paris, sure, but it's not that bad.
I'm not complaining, I'm sympathizing with people from other countries. It takes a lot of passion to go from like, Germany to Tours :D

Tours actually has good connection to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport for our foreign friends (but if you land at Orly you re screwed). 1hr train (TGV) from Paris too. Plus it has a reputation as a nice student city so I am expecting cheap pubs and whatnot!Lorning, are you planning to attend? Let's meet up! I ll bring my CJ gear :p
what the fuck ?
we did not see the same tours, its really a depressing city.

there are airlines berlin - Tours(200€) it's just less expensive to stop at Paris then take 1hr train to Tours

sc2 is too high quality to disappear, hopefully we see tastosis cast this event, we need it

Germans drive cars, we gonna have zero problems. Just driving slow on french streets annoys us. (and paying for it)
And Events in Canada and talking every eventthread about toronto? Com on, it is like living in Vladivostok and complaining about events in Moskau while they just could take the plane to korea.

In Tours? So random Why? Have you seen the opportunities they got, esp. with regards to prices, places, etc. in France? I really don't know where they could've done that in Paris for a decent price... It may seem random considering the cities in France, but not that much once you take everything into account. Looking forward to be there. Oh and to meet fellow TL members of course The only problem with Tours is that isn't near to a big airport so isn't easy to go there. It's time to spend lots of money for the eSport passion!
The pun makes it all worth it.

the place is also really nice for sightseeing
dreamhack did a good choice by picking tours
|
anyone complaining about the city don't account for difference of cost, it makes sense that they start with Tours first.

Hehe, try Romania to Tours

Yes a Dreamhack in France (and double yes for it not being in Paris) ! Also if it happens in the building the picture of the OP posted (likely) then it's right in front of the train station so that part of the travel will be very short and easy
|
We all know that Paris is an expensive shithole but Lille and Strasbourg would have been way better than Tours.
|
Lille or Strasbourg ?! At least Tours is more or less in the center of France, going to Lille or Strasbourg is a pain for a majority of french people, they're remote towns.

Tours is way more remote than Lille or Strasbourg, the only thing that count is transport time, still gonna be awesome anyway.

Not for french people at the very least and I imagine the vast majority of the public will be french. Just imagine if you live in Bordeaux and the dreamhack was in Lille

not way farther in train. if you're on the east it's closer to Lille actually. As long as the place is cool i'm fine with it to be honest, it could be in Mende or whatever :D

not only transport time
paris tours 1h15 30€
paris lille 1h 90€
paris starsbourg 2h20 70 €
glad they picked Tours which is less remote aka better transport time/price.

Yo, I've got a question for the knowledgeable people here. Will the SC2 tournament be entirely BYOC? Because it seems really odd to me for 96 or so pro gamers to all have to bring their own computers.

No, it has been stated earlier in the thread that the BYOC and the official tournament were separate

Dreamhack is still a big LAN. The Pro Tournaments are no BYOC, but the amateur tournaments and lan areas are BYOC.

the main problem is that you can't tell anything from their website...

Great, the week I happen to be in Istanbul

Hi, great! I will be there for sure ! :D
Do you guys think it's better to buy tickets as soon as possible? (do these events usually run out of places soon?)

I'm guessing its safer to buy them as soon as they are available. France is a big country and I can foresee a lot of eager people coming.

I might come for this, I'm sure my presence would make DH understand that SC2 is still the master game o/

Nice!! DreamHack + SC2 =

I cannot find the information on timetables for Dreamhack France. I would need to know when does the CS:GO open finals begin for a streaming event. Does anyone know this?

The Starcraft Open starts the 8th morning and ends the 9th night. CS:GO is the main event so I think the finals will be on Sunday (the 10th)

The finals will be on Sunday, but i need to know the time when it starts.
