Dreamhack Winter Photo Report

1) I met these guys on the coach over, Quake Live players who came over to play TDM. They ended up recruiting Rapha as they were one short due to Spanish air strikes.


2) The venue, Elmia, is pretty recessed, and hides it's size from a far


3)


4) The Twitch/Telia Player's Lounge was restricted to wristband holders, but was visible from the show floor


5) All the BYOC customers get a single station, and single socket allocated on these extention leads that trail across the tabletops. That's some current to be daisy chaining!


6) 2GD was chapperone to the player's area. Cool dude.
