Blogs \ My time @ DH: A review
ereskigal @ 2nd December 2009 17:19 (Read 1065 times).
As maybe some of you know, I was DotA Headadmin at Dreamhack this year (Summer and Winter 2009). I was asked (and also like) to sum up my thoughts/work/likes/dislikes.

So how does it look like? 13 hours traveling. Skipping Uni 3 to 4 days. No alcohol, just nerds! Not that hard :p

I had to set up a ruleset and an IRC Channel for Dreamhack.DotA and that was everything to be done preDH. I had booked my flights 2 months before, so it was really cheap. When I came to Dreamhack I am the only person there who cannot understand Swedish xD. (It was Wednesday evening and the Event hasn't startet yet, only the crew guys joke around, have to fix things - this time until 4 a.m.- and DINNER!). Next morning you wake up early and watch the mess, when everyone tries to find his seat as fast as possible (You reserve your seat before you check in, so no need for hurry). It is not just a LAN, it is 3 Halls with ~ 10000 people alltogether. A lot of companies (and I think even the Swedish army) are there, promoting. They have a huge Stage where some bands perform and some other things take place (like that awesome drummer, who drummed the Super Mario and Simpsons theme, as well as some special sounds in Mario (like super star theme).

So I sit there, getting to know Chutney who will help me with administrating the DotA tournament.
Then for three days it is less sleep more work. But you get to know the players really well, and you joke around. Especially with DIPS and unique it was fun, but also with Tribal, since I met them for the second time, and I already knew them.

From time to time you watch what the other GosuGamers guys will do and join them, annoy them and stuff.

But all in all it is just a normal LAN, nerds everywhere and the Myth that Swedish girls are hot is - at least in the gaming milieu - SO WRONG!

It is quite some stress, and since I am not a Swede I am a little off, but all in all meet the GosuCrew and especially Patrik (Raistlin) is a hell of fun.

If you want to know more about it just state your questions in the comments, and I will come back to them =)

about the girls part: the gamer girls are ugly as hell, though there are these very cheap 14 year old girls that might look good but still are skanky to the bone, that also attend DH for reasons unknown.
All the other girls though are the best in the world. Period.

Btw, was nice seeing you, but learn to spell my teams name til next time plz -.-

Have I spelled your name oO? Sure it was not Chutney? :)

Anyway -> I think (honestly) that German and Swedish girls are alike (On the quality of looks) but I am not that into blonde =)
