Nix0n: "Looking forward to feedback on the coaching rules"

1-9-2017 20:44

To bring you some insight on how events are organized and what the current tournament landscape is like, we sat down with Marc "Nix0n" Winther from DreamHack, who also shared his thoughts on rules regarding coaches and banned players.

On the third day of DreamHack Masters Malmö, we had a chat with Marc "Nix0n" Winther, who is the product manager for DreamHack Open and the Director of DreamHack Masters, to talk about different topics regarding running tournaments.

At the start, Nix0n touched on the troubles of scheduling events and the issues with overlapping, especially this year, but also talked about the reasoning behind certain decisions, such as the changes to the coaching rules and how they technically implemented them. In the end, he mentioned that they are looking into "having a framework and support from other entities on rules and regulations" regarding banned players.

There should be a gold standard to govern esports players like FIFA for football. It's shouldn't be like Dreamhack rules is better than PGL rules, it creates a political divide that doesn't lead to the maturity of this industry. The general public should see this profession as a platform for matured audience like any other sports in the modern world.

2017-09-01 21:36

We all love Nix0n <3

Nix0n <3 First interview I see with you in years.

2017-09-01 21:39

Professeur... Relax! And remember to take a breath or two :)

2017-09-01 23:09

Malmo has great format tbh. Grouostage of 4 bo1 first day then bo3s to determine the adcancing team and bo3 to determine the disqualified team. Coaching rules is also really good!!! Valve take notes

2017-09-02 03:15

2017-09-02 04:02

mTw Nix0n the MVP!

2017-09-02 09:00

Its a great rule! Many Players said that they like Dreamhacks Coaching rule and I think a Coach does help many teams/igls. Good compromise between more individual igl skill ans tactics beside that.
