There is only one thing that I need to know before I can rest peacefully (after DHW11 ofc^^), and that is IF DAY[9] IS COMING THERE TO CAST OR NOT?! Does anybody know anything about this?
I'm pretty sure he'll be there. D'apollo and him are kind of the main casters for the event. Maybe there will be some more streams + casters like Husky and TB.
Well those are mainly football/ handegg arenas, and there are two Swedish ones of 65 / 43k. It'd be kind of silly to have a starcraft finals in that big of an arena though.
4k will be just fine.
Edit: Hockey isn't very popular in Sweden. Even the 7k seems alot to me. Probably only fully seated when we're fighting Finland ^_^
What? Surely u dont know anything about swedish hockey. More people attend hockey then football in Sweden. This arena is sold out almost every game. Same for the other top teams in Sweden.
Been at dreamhack 8times, and i can really understand them wanting to expand cause a very small amount of people around 500, have been able to watch it everytime. And summer was the worst ever when it was looooaaads of people that wanted to watch the LoL/starcraft tourny.
This arena is around 200meters from the elmia building, so it's very close but.... 4000seats? holy shit how the fuck are they suppose to fill that up.

I think the previous arena held ~1500 people, and there was hundreds if not thousands of people who didn't get in too see the sc2 finals. I wouldn't be too surprised if they filled it up.
Holy shit this is sick. Dreamhack crowds have been less than stellar in the past because of facility limitations, but no more. The ball's in your court Swedish e-sports fans. Show the sponsors this investment was worth it.

hahaha 1500....
the area you are watching holds just under 500, there are abit more area in the back that you cant see from that angel wich is about another 200seats.
Making it effektivly 700seats.
1500.... have you ever been there you wouldnt go so overboard with the numbers, And it wasnt thousands of people queueing, it was a couple of hundred.
Tho ofc a lot of people didnt queue because they knew that they wouldnt get a seat so the attendence might be a lot higher this year but i somewhat doubt they fill 4000seats with people from dreamhack only, tho ofc just having people going to event only to watch the finals in the arena, ye sure then they might fill it.

There was in fact 1100 seats at DreamArena Extreme last time.

"DreamArena Extreme In Elmias Hammarsköldssal we’re building DreamHacks very own DreamArena Extreme where we have space for 1100 people. It’s a fantastic set-up with screens for every player and a large cinema screen (12m x 6,75m) showing all the action from in-game and the cameras. It’s hard to get a cooler experience then DreamArena Extreme!"

another person pulling the numbers out of air, have you ever been there, if not, those numbers are highly incorrect and only made for commercial purpose, if you have any basic understand of math then plz just count the seats yourself, it's not hard.

i know, i have been there like 8fucking times and been in that area dont know how many times watching several tournaments and i understand perfekt how large that area is.
here is a video there you should be able to get some more basic understanding on how large it's
There you can clearly see the lower part wich hosted just abit under 500, and the higher part wich (does not have 600seats)
stop argumenting about something you have no clue about

Your tone in your last few posts is very hostile and condenscending for no reason at all, I suggest you tone down a bit.
Here's a picture that actually shows all seats. I did a quick rough count of heads and I get to ~1080. Take your own advice and count the seats yourself if you doubt my count.

I don't know your agenda, but I'm pretty damn sure that DH and Elmia don't fake their figures. And btw, if you really think that video displays only 600 people it is actually you who don't know what you are talking about.
Your tone in your last few posts is very hostile and condenscending for no reason at all, I suggest you tone down a bit.
Here's a picture that actually shows all seats. I did a quick rough count of heads and I get to ~950. There could easily be 150 more somewhere on the edges or squeezed in. Take your own advice and count the seats yourself if you doubt my count.
("right click -> show image" to see full image)[/QUOTE]
the seats in the back have just above 350avalible seats.
the lower part still has 500 so i cant understand what you get those numbers from.
And you have obviously not been there as then ofc you would know that the sides are reserved for TV cameras and VIP, not to say that 2rows that wasnt used at all, lower area row = 24seats, upper area = 34seats, wich wasnt used at all.
i'm not being hostile but it's frustrating when people provide this random numbers like 1500
lower area (middle)
have 24seats on the top, i'm not sure but i believe the arena closest to the set have like 1-2seats less but lets just make it simple
there are 18rows as far as i counted 24x18 = 432
The lower part of the theater on the sides has never been fully avalible and on either side because they are reserv for cameras and other press members. i believe there was about 60-90seats avalible, not sure if i counted correclty there because at some rows there are only 5avalible seats and some have 7 and one have only 3 so, around that amount.
so wich basicly gets you to the 500mark.
the back part left side have 7seats avalible 6rows = 42seats + 3extra in the back there you can see some crews so 45 in total if i saw correctly?
middle area upper part 34x8rows 272 and right side of wich is 8x7rows wich brings the number up to 56 on the right side.
wich makes it all (+-500)+ 272 +42+56 =870
Is't a lot of seats, well ye, is't 1100 as they state? far from, could probably reach that number of they didnt use up so much area for hosting, but ofc since you guys have obviously not been there, there is just no way you could know how many seats they have had avalible, wich is far less.
