Dreamhack has just announced that the European WCS finals will be held in Globen, Stockholm on 15-16 of September. The article makes clear that this is the actual main arena and not the smaller side arena ("Annexet") that was used in Dreamhack Stockholm Invitational. The Globen main arena has been used for e.g. ice hockey world championships, Eurovision Song Contest and other events of similar scale. It is capable of holding ~13000 spectators.

The main arena that can hold up to 13,000 spectators?
No offence to Dreamhack, but during the previous finals a quarter of the chairs were empty. Hopefully a larger crowd can turn up. |

the arena you speak of was completely sold out. reason you saw empty chairs was because you couldnt drink alcohol there, so people left the room for the bar which was just above the arena i believe to watch the games from there and drink at the same time.Last edit: 2012-07-27 17:57:29 |

Wow, this is huge... I just saw posters all over the city about the Swedish Finals being held in annexet tomorrow, and now this? Fuck yeah e-sports! :D 13,000 seats are you kidding me?!
I would translate the article but it is really uninteresting to non swedish people besides the large venue. |

| The article says that tickets will be released on Monday, that might be worth translating. Anyway, it's a good time to live in Stockholm I'll make sure to be there! |

This is epic, I'm sure that WCS EU can fill out Globen.
And if I'm not completely wrong, Dreamhack has said that their goal for next year is to do something on Tele2 Area when it opens(An multi-purpose arena that can take 30 000 people for soccer). Who knows, maybe next years WCS Grand Finals is being held thereLast edit: 2012-07-27 19:55:45 |
