Trackmania best game ever... I just dislike that there are so many new cars in the latest version... but I only play the formula, the Lamborgini one and the Snow car :P The jumping car is lol and the online selfmade maps are far too difficult for me and most players there...

Such a big sum for DotA, that's a huge step imo. Sure, that's like 5000 euros, but that's still big when you compare it to the prices in the online leagues, right...?
the horror...the horror...

Uhm, the prizes were bigger a year ago than now. If anything, the past Dreamhack and the coming one has been a step backwards in terms of the support it has been given. Which is sad considering more teams shows their interest in attending Dreamhack.

Perhaps you live in a world where the economic recession leading towards "The Great Depression 2.0" dares not venture, however, if you ask me, we're lucky that there is an event for gamers at all considering how shitty the economic downturn and the credit crunch is.

I'm merely responding to all the people who time after time praises Dreamhack for 'bringing DotA to another level' or 'taking it one step further'.

Fact of the matter is, the prizes has been the same for 4 events straight including this one. And it was at its highest at Dreamhack Summer '07.

Furthermore I doubt the recession has any influence on Dreamhack's income thus how much they offer in prizes whatsoever.
