Event Coverage

Dreamhack Winter 2012 Coverage

But not everything was gaming related.  You could also enjoy a lot of deejays and bands and I’ll tell you they have one HELL of a sound system there it would embarrass quite a few dance parties!

It’s a mystery to me how the people who sat near the main stage are even able to game.  I’m quite sure it would take some reeeealy extreme hearing protection to muffle it all out, but that wouldn’t cancel out the massive vibrations.  Yes, the bass was that low and hard, and they cranked it up to the maximum when Headhunterz was playing.

 

Props go to the DH crew on site.  With all the musical events,  people crowd up and it gets hot very fast.  The staff kept a close eye on the crowd picking out individuals who might suffer heatstroke, and they made sure to squirt some water on the people in front.

The sleeping area was also improved.  No more jerks inflating their beds in the sleeping hall… Noooo, everyone had to inflate their mattresses down the stairs to avoid noise, and there were enough power outlets for pumps.

 

Once inside, the total amount was checked off to keep it safe and you where directed to a designated area to make sure there was walking space to safely exit in an emergency.

They had everything really organized this time, which is a good thing because 5 years back you just had idiots screaming “ALLOOOOOOOO” in there, not good if you want to get some shuteye.
