At Dreamhack Summer, a new 1,100 seater theatre called DreamArena Extreme will be opened, as they take another step towards making Dreamhack a prime location for eSports.

Dreamhack Summer will take place between the 13th and 16th June, with already some interesting prospects, such as GeT_RiGhT and GuX from Fnatic teaming up with Lemondogs to fill in for their two missing members. Furthmore ESLTV's James "2GD" Harding and Joe "Joe" Miller will be commentating the event, just as they did last time.

Will something like ESWC special headphones be used here, or is it going to be a silent room? :]

Yeah, can totally see the players hearing the commentary. They either need a glass booth for the teams / players or for each seat to have cheap headphones to listen to the commentators.
