I just came home after an amazing 
DHS08! We arrived in 
Cologne after a ~15hr bustrip from Jönköping, where I also saw FlyingDJ and the rest of the ESL/Turtle Entertainment crew. We also had a chance to get into the office, (guided by 
Manuel 'Pesticide' Hoedemakers), the building is even bigger than we thought! It's nice to see what an amount of offices/people there are, eSports is getting so much attention/coverage etc there in Germany.. (gotta love ESL :P)
Our trip started with this bus last friday
The ESL-TV crew made several videos/clips from us there, which can be found at www.pack4dreamhack.com
Sweden just got a 'lil better :p
Belgian Pack4Dreamhack team
Pictures can be found here as well

Thanks go to Intel/Steelseries/Fujitsu Systems for all the stuff they gave us, and:
Dennis aka Take
Tobi aka Neok
Marco
Timur from http://www.gamerock.com/
and the rest of the ESL-TV crew who were excellent to work with, I'm sure they enjoyed working with us as well ;D
some facts:
- I was suprised by so many little children attending such an event (like 10-14year olds)
they also started smashing and kicking their keyboard on the floor(wtf?) and everytime that happened, people started screaming and applauding
- SK is overrated! :p we were checking the semi-final at the big Dreamarena..the shoutcasters pretty much only specced SK, when they made some frags everyone screamed and applauded, when roccat did anything, everyone was silent? SK are like gods for the people inthere!
roccat made some frags and we applauded, when we did this, people threw stuff at our backs, unbelievable :D
- Dennis (Take), is a very funny guy XD
This was my first visit to Sweden, but it won't be my last for sure! :p

SK won 19 - 15. The match Anil was mentioning was the semi-final of the other CS' tournament running. MYM (old PGS) beat Roccat in the final, Roccat beat SK in the semi and MYM beat mTw.sk (old NoA).
Links have maps, scores and lineups; fuck copy and pasting, it takes too long!
wtf is this pack4dreamhack :D
last year they've send a team from The Netherlands and Denmark
all you have to do it signup at the ESL site and write a little application why they should pick you with your team
this year they announced it here http://www.esl.eu/benelux/news/57160/
and a week later they announce the winning teams (here: http://www.esl.eu/benelux/news/58116/ but you won't understand much of it I guess since its dutch :p)
