Show Dot Points

  • DreamHack Melbourne 2024 combined esports, content creation, and convention elements.
  • Some attendees enjoyed the cosplay, content creator meetups, and non-esports activities.
  • Others were disappointed that esports was not the main focus of the event.
  • The confusion around the event's identity and the lack of a prominent esports presence were major concerns.
  • The organizers may need to prioritize the esports aspect to create a more cohesive and satisfying experience for attendees. DreamHack Melbourne 2022 had a strong focus on content creation and lacked emphasis on esports.
  • The scheduling of non-esports marquee events on the main stage disappointed attendees.
  • The main stage area was poorly set up, with overlapping sound from other activities.
  • The event could benefit from better promotion and organization to attract a larger audience and create a more engaging experience.
