| As a viewer they probably won't conflict, but I'm pretty sure a lot of European players would choose Stockholm over New York. Mainly because of the shorter flights. I'm not sure if the prize pool will be bigger as well. |

yeah "unfortunate" indeed. Didn`t MLG say the arena would be something special and extra. But who needs an extra event when there is already one very good on the exact same weekend. With free HD Streams. With a big enthusiastic crowd. And this is already the 2nd time MLG puts the arena on the same weekend with another top tier LAN tournament. How do they plan on delivering the best tournament possible, when a considerable amount of proplayers attend DREAMHACK. they just can`t. |

...When was the Dreamhack date actually announced?
Nevermind, just saw it was today. I like how people keep blaming MLG. Last edit: 2012-03-03 05:59:08 |

Perfectly fine. There is like 200+ players out there we love to see play, more than enough to hold 3 tournament on the same days.

| Nothing wrong when these smaller events overslaps, there is a billion players out there thats plenty enough.. As long as big Dreamhack and Big MLG dont overlaps its ok. |

I paid for the Winter Arena, but I was somewhat disappointed in the ending. Not having an audience or an awarding ceremony just made it seem less exciting.
I don't mind the idea of PPV, but the point of PPV was that we were supposed to get a superior viewing experience. Instead, it was an inferior one.
If the next Arena gets a proper audience, I'll pay for it. |

Read the thread please.
ok both got announced on short notices, thats bad luck for everyone. What`s going to happen now? DH and MLG calling the biggest stars asap to get them onboard. It`s fine for most of the Fans if the biggest stars go to DREAMHACK, because everybody can watch, if some big names will attend MLG, most of the fans won`t be able to watch, again. Maybe it`s because I strongly believe PPV is extremely unconductive for the eSports industry, but I just don`t like it. |

i just wanted you to read the thread as your question had been asked and answered many times. i guess my advice to you is 'watch dreamhack' if that's what you want to do. |

as far as I am concered thats the last bit of belivabilty out the window. at this point I will just choose not to trust you on that. I just cant get myself to pay for mlg when there is such a disconnect between the content of interviews and that of posts. |

..You're shitting me... WTF MLG!? Sorry Sundance, gotta opt for Dreamhack on this one.
Come on now read the whole thread before posting, DH and MLG announced the tournament dates on the same day. No one did it first, no one did it purposely. MLG directly responded if you would read a few pages in
Fair enough, I was frustrated |

We looked on every public listing for events. Aside from NASL, no other organizer shares their dates. We found out about this event TODAY after we announced. |

You pretty much just said that it was Dreamhack's fault for not telling MLG about a 'secret' even they were planning on holding. |

No harm done in sending an e-mail to the other tournament organisers, right? |
