Food was also taken care of. Dreamhack’s gaming halls hosted quite a few kebab shops and they had GREAT Döner kebab there for good prices. Hotdogs (Swedish national staple it seems) were all around, and cheap (but tasty). There were lot of other snack foods, but I would have liked to see a more varied menu in the restaurant: hamburgers, pasta, pizza and kebab gets old after a few days…
We still managed but I wouldn’t mind a proper schnitzel and vegetables. Perhaps some fruit smoothies (for the vitamins). There was no shortage of soda and energy drinks :P, which sort of fits the occasion but I’m not 18 anymore… (o god incoming midlife crisis).
Throughout the event no alcohol was served (and also prohibited). This might seem strange, but think of the amount of people at Dreamhack and consider that most of them are underage (that’s 18 here in the Netherlands). Five years back I saw a bunch of 8 year olds in pajamas walking around and even this time in the row in front of us where little boys no older than 12 years old.
…Not that it stopped us from spiking our drinks. I’m pretty sure the DH crew noticed a bottle or two but ignored it since we weren’t total assholes… yet.
