Today the World’s largest digital festival, DreamHack, is extremely excited to announce that we will be hosting the first ever DreamHack event outside of Europe, with DreamHack Austin officially happening from May 6-8th, 2016 at the Austin Convention Center.
According to the CEO of DreamHack, Marcus Lindmark, there might have a second DreamHack in North America next year too:
It’s been our ambition to expand to North America for a very long time, and today we are thrilled to get the ball rolling by announcing a date and venue for our first event. It’s our ambition to host a second event in another region of North America in 2016 as well, we are very excited to keep ramping things up.

After Tours, London and Leipzig, DreamHack will visit another new city: http://www.dreamhacknorthamerica.com/

That's pretty awesome. They must be doing really well. Seattle please. xD

PHILADELPHIA. It's still 2 hours from me, but it's pretty much the biggest "hub city" I can get to besides NYC.
|
I know where it will not be... western Canada 
I guess somewhere in new England or again Esport-City Toronto.

DH Vancouver... the dream event. If it's in Toronto again I might shoot someone.
Also... HYPEEEEE
|
What happened to Robert Ohlin? Anyone know?
Will you shoot someone if it's DreamHack Las Vegas?
|
I think that it would have to be somewhere with a very serviceable international airport which basically leaves us with Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton.
I'd probably guess Toronto though haha.

Get your fucking dates right. What does 8.7. mean when an European organization announces an NA tournament? 8 of July? 7th of August?
American date system the second most fucked up thing after their shitty imperial units...

oh for the love of everything please come to California!!! i really don't think they will but i would be crazy happy, especially if its San Francisco.. !!!!!!!!!!!

That awkward moment when I realize Canada is also North America...
#DH is ours!

If it's in Canada it's July 8, since we use normal system unlike the USA.

Please be DH Las Vegas (or somewhere on the west coast), I need a vacation badly and this would be the perfect excuse...
edit: I also highly doubt it's in 2 days.

I assume that means they'll either announce the location in 2 days or it will be August 7th, although it being august 7th sounds too soon

That's the part where I pray it's Montreal even though I know it will never happen

This could be good! Although, knowing DreamHack they'd try to go for a colder climate, so I might be fresh out of luck.

Sounds logical to me that you'd use the date system of the organizer's country, no?

Year-month-day is the international computer standard, as well as the way east asian nations connote date. Americans usually move year to the end, but month before day is far from a uniquely American thing.

That would be a lot more viable than you might think. It's easy driving distance of a 3.5 million metro area, and the venue costs would probably be astonishingly low.
EDIT: actually, come to think of it, that's more of an ESL thing, since Dreamhack is more of a convention-style event that hosts tons of different games and has lots of people who are there to play and to compete, rather than to spectate.

Please come to Colorado dreamhack!

The 8th of July is two days from now. I get this funny feeling that's probably not what they mean.

My guess is Austin or Atlanta. Potential google fiber, big cities, the latter with what was one of the stronger SC2 scenes in the country.

Dreamhack as alot of Hometown-Heros as also stronger Koreans in the end then WCS.
The most Canadian thing this WCS was a caster...
And Dreamhack brings you more then just some Games of StarCraft. Just watch again the IEM crowd.
If I would have to bet money, I would bet on Toronto. Next to Boston.
I cannot think about Dreamhack at the West-Coast, even 6 hours timedelay to Europa is hard, but 9 hours? I dont know Kev

Dreamhack Orlando please haven't had an event since MLG Orlando in 2011 and we are a major tourist hub i.e. theme parks, Disney, Universal, Sea World and other toursit attractions so it makes sense in my mind plus its on the East coast which imo is something I feel they are looking for to blend into the European time schedule.

The second most fucked up thing about european-arrogance is our people spreading hate about other countrys while talking a shitload of nonsense.

My bet is on Toronto or somewhere upper east coast.

A quick glance at the site linked in the OP would tell you that 8.7. indeed refers to July 8th, but not as the date of the event itself.

i think Chicago is the best place to have it.
its my favourite american city and more importantly its in a good spot geographically.
(except for all those SC2 fans in Newfoundland)
|
Well it will be on the west coast to accommodate Koreans. I will guess Seattle or San Francisco, maybe even Lav Vegas..
|
I would *love* a DH in DC or Baltimore but...
DC doesn't really have many great venues (that don't cost an exorbitant amount of money to rent out, anyway) and Baltimore is a terrible city.
Still, hope I can get out to one!

Jacksonville is the largest city by population in the U.S. state of Florida, and the largest city by area in the contiguous United States.

as far as being really large in terms of square km area ... people buy tickets not each square km of land.
what matters is how many people are there not how big the city is.
being the largest city by population in florida don't mean much.
by population Jacksonville ain't much bigger than the world famous thriving cosmopolitan canadian metropolis of Mississauga.
in terms of geography i think Chicago is the best choice.... its an 8 hour drive for me or a 75 minute flight.

That wasn't the argument. The guy posted like I was wrong about my statement. He didn't specify in what manner. What I said was true. It's not a real argument over where the tournament should be hosted. I'd take a much different stance. But in this exact discussion between the other poster I am correct.

I'd be so pumped if they came to Dallas or Austin. I was always gone in Chicago when SC2 stuff was in Texas, but now it's back. Would be ironic if it ended up in Chicago lol.

i'll match ur level of precision and add that i did not state you were incorrect.
if they are announcing this on July 8, 2015 and Draemhack is european based then the announcement should be in the next hour , no?
if this Dreamhack event is after teh event in Sweden in September then a southern US state makes a lot more sense

there is a countdown timer at the bottom of the DreamHack page.
so i guess it'll be announced 16 hours from the time of this post.
maybe someone could post edit in the OP that it'll be announced at 11 AM EDT or 8 AM California time on July 8.
|
DreamHack Seattle pls ._.
|
Guessing it's montreal or toronto
|
dreamhack anaheim lol. picking up where MLG left off.
|
I don't imagine it will be on the east coast, but one can wish, this is epic and awesome!
|
Adebisi's recent Tweet seems to narrow the possibilities down.
|
Please be true Texas hint. That is the only place close to me that had a chance. I want to go to a live event so damn much!

Not to rain on anyone's parade but as this is "North America" - perhaps Mexico City? Should be cheap, tons of people - more than any city in Canada or US. Good food. No horrible to overcome visa issues. MajOr would be happy.

If we consider that the word "clearer" is a clue and those are foggy cities.

I think you're just reading into things too far

Dreamhack Texas. Good choice.
|
Austin is a good choice. Maybe next year it will be in the northeast.
|
So where is it? On the website with the count down the page just continuously reloads when I go there on my phone.

Well, at least Austin is definitely closer than Europe!
Games announced?
EDIT: They should really consider Halo. Its always been a thing in North America, and is grower bigger again by the day. And personally, I would LOVE it.

When I don't know something, I use "I think"
Not less than 7 500 participants got together at Vinci – The International Convention Centre of Tours for DreamHack France. Tours événements has already confirmed a second edition in May 2016.

they did the same thing for DH France
there is also no real reason to wait
|
So far away
They are always so far away
|
great in the middle of finals. I guess only old people can go watch
|
YES! But will they have SC2?
|
2016?! I was hoping for some time this year
|
Oh sweet, it's only 6359km from where i live !
|
I feel like there may be planning/scheduling reasons for this, because they have to book everything and try to make sure that it doesn't collide with any major other tournaments.

Dreamhack is always good at announcing things way beforehand. I think DH Winter/Summer is scheduled out to 2018.

Holy balls that is driving distance IM GOING TO DREAMHACK

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

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?"
"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!"
|
Makes sense, Austin seems to be a techcentric hub nowadays
|
Gosh darn it, I lived in Austin for 13 years and right after I move away DH goes there.
|
Well. I guess I'll be making a road trip next Spring.. any1 coming thru or leaving via Phoenix hit me up!
|
Not quite Houston, but close enough! The hype is real, oh man. 10 months and counting.

Austin is just a few hours from home for me. I'll be there!
|
All the people upset would probably be upset no matter what haha. I'm just glad Dreamhack has expanded into NA. Hopefully, more organizations will do the same and we'll get a more developed ecosystem here in the States. It's just an added bonus for me that I'll be living in Austin by the time this event happens haha

I'm sorry but this is absurd.
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

That's the part where I pray it's Montreal even though I know it will never happen
And why is that? because Montreal is one of the best cities in the world?
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

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.

Austin is not in the middle of nowhere. Austin has a lot going on and cities within 2 hours with populations in the 2+ million range. I get people are upset it isn't in Montreal but DH did the right thing here in my honest, biased opinion... I live in Houston lol..
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.

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.

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?

Manners aside, US could switch to normal date writing convention or perhaps even better - ISO one:
+ Show Spoiler +
Also imperial system is even more outdated, even weirder that apparently it differs slightly from the one used in i.e. UK. To think that US tried to switch to metric system...

That is the best method imo, the way the Chinese do it as well. Year-month-day. Biggest to smallest .
