Dreamhack reveals arena

3-6-2009 15:44

Dreamhack has confirmed an 1,100 all-seater arena will be at this year's summer event. 

The venue, called DreamArena Extreme, will accommodate a total of 1,100 people and bring the fans closer to the action as they will be able to watch the best matches live. 

It is unknown which games will be played at the arena, but Dreamhack has confirmed that ESL pair James "2GD" Harding and Joe "Joe" Miller will be commentating the event for a second consecutive time.

Pictures of the arena can be found below:

Flight costs 1200 SEK, and by train you'd have to go to Kastrup and fly to Gothenburg or to Stockholm and take another train to Gothenburg which would lead the an equal amount of money, so I'd recommend you to fly since it'll take you only a few hours. Bus takes 18 hours and costs 1138 SEK, and that's clearly not worth it.

Hm a bit optimistic I think expanding DreamArena. This winter we had a great CS-final indeed with a great audience. However we have to remember the crowd partly gathered because there was SWEDEN vs. DENMARK and it's always fun to see our nations compete even for people who doesn't play CS normally. (I watched the whole final with my friends who doesn't play and they enjoyed it). I think a final between, say like SK & Lemondogs wouldn't attract people at all and this arena would be a waste. Also if you have to leave Elmia (the exibition hall where DreamHack is) to get to this Arena I think it will be quite empty.

The big screens behind the players. Do they show the game with or without delay? Without delay, they could simply turn around and be like "Oh, he is planting at B!" and then run over there and prefire the poor guy. With delay it wouldn't funny watching it. You can see one of the them being happy as hell, screaming and kissing eachother as they win, but on the screen there is still two rounds left. -_- Anyone know? :D
