DreamHack

You know, sorry for any Primate Page fans out there.

But also, if you kind of think back to history, you know, the DreamHack, I think it was DreamHack Atlanta, Solos, Lan, he actually won that as well.

I think it really all depends on how locked in he is, but I think he can be a solid underrated pick overall.

I'm just trying to think who else on the region...

Mm-hmm.

And I'll try to tie it in with like DreamHack or something like that.

Something sort of like that.

Oh.

Yeah, yeah.

DreamHack's a lot of fun.

Mm.

Yeah.

You know, that, that was also right next to the player lounges, you know, which were also fucking massive.

So, like, it's, it was all such a massive scale and something that, realistically I don't, I don't know if I've ever seen something quite like that because, like, the closest that comes to it is, uh, stuff that happened in Elmia, right? Like, some of these DreamHack festivals that were going on.

Mm.

And that's not necessarily, like, big- a lot of big events going on at the same time.

I do remember-

... that reflected that, you know?

DreamHack, DreamHack Winters and, and Summers.

Yeah.

Like, that's how unserious security's been forever.

And I knew, as a guy who worked DreamHack events as a volunteer and was the security team, like, come on, it was a bunch of, like, 17, 18-year-olds hopped up on monsters trying to check people's ID badges, which, of course, led to abuses left, right, and center.

People claiming to be with Blizzard were just trying to force their way through anyway because Blizzard... apparently are notoriously kind of dicks about this sort of thing.

They consider themselves bigger than the events when they show up to those sorts of DreamHacks and things and they just don't bother.

So I'm not surprised we finally got someone who actually went behind the stage, got into these social security areas with something malicious in mind and got it done.

I think we're just lucky again that it wasn't something more serious.

That'd be sick.

That'd be sick to go, like, a DreamHack or something.

Just gotta, like-

That would be sick

Sick

... e-sports in and around-

'Cause I think, I think DreamHack Atlanta was, like, I don't know, a few months ago or something like that.

But it's wild.

Uh, MC took me around the first day to see everything, and I'm walking around, I'm checking out all this stuff, and it's just baffling to see the scale of it.

It's like, you, you could say it's a DreamHack on steroids, but-

But even that doesn't really do it justice-

No, not really

Yeah.

Because they've moved all the key concepts and stuff int- into this space, and I'm-

I feel like, I feel like this player lounge alone is the size of a normal DreamHack.

Yeah, probably.

Besides that, have you experimented with any hardware? Have you adapted hardware for yourself, have gotten some from maybe AbleGamers, or you know, custom controllers or anybody like that? Or are you still doing the mouth thing?

[laughs] I'm still doing the mouth thing, but again, something else that happened whi- whilst, um, we last had our conversation is I went to DreamHack, which you might be familiar with, 'cause I think they have one over in Atlanta in the States.

Yes.

They've came over to the UK for the first time, and at that show was Razer Inc., the comp- the hardware company.
