So apparently, Dreamhack was a major success, not only with the venue and event itself but also the numbers to support all this.
Statistics
Total views: 6,755,728
Unique viewers: 1,673,270
Peak concurrent viewers: 94,932
Please be advised that numbers from Swedish National Television is not included in these statistics.
Also, they had 20,984 live visitors. I don't know if they mean visitors as in people watching or people participating in the LAN event.
Seeing these numbers is really amazing and props to DreamHack for this event. It had overall a really nice quality and besides all the drama around some issues, I liked the event.
According to Fredrik Nyström they broke records!
DreamHack broke three earlier records (attendance, network capacity and usage) and now we break our fourth record when presenting 1,7 million unique viewers on our livestreams said Fredrik Nyström, press officer at DreamHack
Would be nice to see the official numbers by the National TV station. It would be great if anyone had a link to that. I mainly watched DreamHack for SC2 and to be honest, it was kinda new to me that they also had other games like Bloodline Champions:
DreamHack offered over 21 high definition competitive video gaming channels including StarCraft II, Quake Live, and Counter-Strike 1.6, Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition, Dota 2, Heroes Of Newerth and Bloodline Champions in addition to stage channels from DreamArena Extreme, DreamArena AMD Sapphire and the main DreamHack stage.
EDIT2:
Apparently, DreamHack summer had 3 Million Unique Views, so I don't know what Nyström meant by saying that they broke records on livestream viewers. Probably "just" peak concurrent viewers!

I disagree, but definitely one of the best. Despite the twitchTV problems.
Props & congrats to Dreamhack.

Wow, I must have missed that. That is actually pretty interesting to see that they now they that they broke viewership records.

I think they are doing uniques per stream. So like, I was watching 2 different streams for SC2 as well as a bit of some of the other streams, I think they count me 3 or 4 times under their "Uniques" but maybe not... that's just the way the ratios seem to come out between total and uniques, usually the total number of viewers is quite a bit higher than uniques, but here it's showing it's 4 times higher, with 95k concurrents that means you need like to swap out all of your viewers 17ish times to hit that number of uniques.

Damn. That's all I have to say..

Don't know which numbers to trust eh, oh well doesn't matter. Good numbers for eSports.
EDIT: I remember there being a post after the event that DH had 17 million uniques, Those are the fake numbers correct?

nono, these numbers are for DH Summer. So it's saying that DH Summer had twice as many uniques as this last dreamhack (DH Winter)

Maybe the DH i linked was with LoL? I think this one wasn't.... if that was the event with ~120k LoL viewers most of the time, then that might make the difference ^^

Great for E-sports and for Dreamhack

But what records did they break then in the livestream section? Only peak concurrent viewers? Why would they say that their unique views broke a record then?

Great numbers, I hope Dreamhack will take everything to another level in 2012!

The 17m was said to be fake, by a DH guy in the thread discussing it. It was some strange reddit account that posted that number.
