All hail Sweden! Why you may ask, and with good reason. After all Denmark has cheaper beer, better looking women, are superior at football (not much, but better still) and have pwned Sweden IRL since medieval times.

Well my friend (and probably intrigued reader by now), because of DreamHack.

If you went to South Korea, found a random PC Bang and told any given player that the epitome of gaming was found in a little Swedish city called Jönköping, they would not just chuckle. They would litteraly be  rolling around on the floor laughing. 

You'd have to tell them ofcourse, that you didn't mean pro gaming. And that over 10,000 people will be at place in the Elmia halls.

THIS IS DREAMHACK!

Big LANs in Scandinavia aren't a seldom sight however, so size doesn't cut it alone. Both Assembly in Finland and The Gathering in Norway are drawing huge crowds, but they are still different. 

It's hard to put the finger on why DreamHack really is the place to be. Maybe it's because it's more than a LAN; a digital festival so down to earth that a 13 year old will enjoy it, yet so extremely diverse that I have seen CEOs of multimillion dollar companies be impressed with what they saw and learned.

Granted if you don't like semi-sweaty Swedes with long hair who are playing Rock Band with their keyboards, then DreamHack isn't going to be a good experience. And if you seek fame and fortune I can find better places and bigger stages to try and reach. But if you want to experience the digital youth (and non-youth) anno 2010, Jönköping will be your favourite destination from the 25th to the 28th of November.

I will be there, like I have been the last 3 years, and I will enjoy it, curse it, spit it out and suck it up. I will hate it, despise it and like it. 

To all you FNATICs out there, what would you want to see or experience at DreamHack?
