I was really hoping they'd do NY or somewhere near here.

 Yesterday I thought: "Now where could they viably put a dreamhack NA that would make as many people as possible mad?" "I guess it would have to be in the middle of the country, like Kansas City or something." "But there's no eSports there... where else could it be?" "Hmm... Hey, SXSW and RoosterTeeth are in Austin. They could do it there, and it's like 1000+ miles away from every other major eSports population center!" | ||

We have been asking for an event in Montreal for years, and they choose to go to the middle of nowhere when it comes to esports entertainment? will there even be sc2? This is truly ridiculous M O N T R E A L. | ||

Because Montreal is known for their quality, variance and mix (I forgot the elequent word ) of festivals and events? Because Montreal is known for their open minded mentality when it comes to things that are not of the norm, such as e sports events? Because Montreal crowds are notoriously awesome? Because Montreal has some of the best venues in the world to host something like this? Or is it because Montreal isn't at the other end of a country and the temperature there isn't always super fucking humid/hot? :S | ||

This is truly ridiculous M O N T R E A L. Well TeSPA is one of the largest and most successful domestic esports organizations, it's not much of a surprise that its in Texas. Austin is a pretty youthful city now and DH might bode well there. | ||

For real though this should be really awesome, Austin is located in beautiful country and the hippie communty that lives there will be open and welcoming to this. | ||

This is truly ridiculous M O N T R E A L. The first Red Bull Battlegrounds was in Austin. The first MLG with SC2 was in Austin. Lone Star Clash 1 2 and 3 were in Austin. The Texas Starcraft Showdown was in Austin. TeSPA, what may be the most famous collegiate eSports organization, is headquartered in Austin. ACL, Austin Citiy Limits, a major music festival, has featured eSports and SXSW, a major arts festival featuring theatre, tech, and music, hosts eSports events every year. Plus many other eSports events. Not to mention, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio are very close to Austin and are 3 of the most populated cities in the country. Sorry to crash your conceded party, but you're pretty wrong there buddy. | ||

You got it, it was Dallas not Austin. That's why I didn't go.... I was curious about that XD On July 09 2015 03:44 klipik12 wrote: No record of this whatsoever... but CALLED IT Yesterday I thought: "Now where could they viably put a dreamhack NA that would make as many people as possible mad?"

Very true, but Texas is becoming strongly popular internationally due to its central location. For example, Texas is basically the Japanese business capital of the US, with most US headquarters of Japanese countries being located in Texas. Its far from everything, but everything is far from everything. If you hold it in New England, then California gets screwed and vice versa. The US is pretty giant, so why not hold it in the middle? | ||
