Dream Come True! Win a free trip for two to DreamHack Winter!

[xanderK]

Didn't make it to Dreamhack Summer? Well, there's always the next event and S2 Games has a way to get you there!

We're excited to announce Dream Come True, a way for a lucky HoN fan and a friend to win a free trip to Dreamhack Winter 2012 in November. For a gamer, there's no experience quite like attending the world's biggest LAN and we want to share that joy with our community in a unique, special way.

Here's how you win:

Throughout the DreamHoN coverage (June 16-18), BreakyCPK will ask a series of ten HoN related trivia questions live on stream.

After each question is announced, you’ll be directed to a question-specific thread on the HoN forums, where you will have 15 minutes to answer the multiple-choice question. Each question will also be relayed to HoN Facebook and Twitter but you MUST answer on the forum poll for it to count! Be quick because after 15 minutes, the thread and the poll will close.

Each correct answer earns 1 point. At the end of the event, participants who have accumulated 7 or more points will be entered into a drawing.

On June 19, one winner will be drawn and then announced here on the forums, as well as on the official HoN Facebook and Twitter pages. The winner and a friend will get to experience the next DreamHoN event as a VIP guest of S2 Games!

Keep your eyes peeled for more info on this exciting opportunity and on our awesome portal for all things DreamHoN: dreamhon.com

[[RCT]Reldnahc]

Cool stuff.

[[GM]thePank]

Hopefully you find a way to prevent people from using hundreds of sub accounts to gain advantage. Requiring something with facebook might help. Also make it clear that only main accounts can participate and subs won't be counted.

Just my two cents.

[khoda]

Cant wait. i want to win this!!

[man_guy]

The winner and a friend will get to experience the next DreamHoN event as a VIP guest of S2 Games!

IDK, save this sort of contest for just before DHW since you won't be getting it for DHS 2012.

[[TOUR]RoLanD]

Amazing idea. Would participate but have poker tourny during DH :P

[[S2]Inomares]

Hopefully you find a way to prevent people from using hundreds of sub accounts to gain advantage. Requiring something with facebook might help. Also make it clear that only main accounts can participate and subs won't be counted.

Just my two cents.

Facebook is even easier to cheat, requiring a verified (non-sub) account to vote should do it.

[Vaez]

ThePank's comment! Or just make a new homepage or some, I don't know how you'll handle the answering, but only give like 3 minutes to answer... So that people won't be able to google and call and so on.

The thread here states you need 7 out of 10 questions answered correctly. While the picture on dreamhon says 8 out of 10.

Edit: I see you guys fixed it.
