Hey, so DH is now over, congratz to Thorzain for getting another major 1st place, he deserves it and probably needed it more than any other non-korean player. Must have been some kind of national pride for Sweden having a Swedish player winning this event. And considering it was broadcast on national TV, eSports and SC2 must have got a pretty good exposure for the Week-End.

Does anyone knows if videos of what was broadcast on TV are available? Was it the exact same content as on the stream? Was there a mention of Thorzain's victory in any Swedish news program on Sunday evening?

Shortly said: does anyone has got any feedbacks concerning the exposure the event received on Swedish TV?

I can't recall this particular event being televised, someone please correct if I'm wrong. It was available via a stream on SVT play but not on the actual TV. I think they will televise the final Dreamhack event which will be hosted in Jönköping. And again, If some fellow swedish person know better/anything else and I'm wrong please correct me.

Why would you watch it on TV, with ads and all that shit. When you can watch a stream and block said ads...

Are you actually still paying for cable...?

And blocking ads while watching an esports event... I don't really know how to respond to that.

There are ads on stream too, besides it's awesome because new people will open there eyes to E-Sports and it will be generally accepted as any other Sport.

There are no ads on SVT, it's a Public TV network (Like the BBC) available to everyone in Sweden (and most of the Nordic countries).

But as stated by others this event was only shown on svtplay (stream).

And no mention of Thorzain's victory in any national news?

Considering they broadcast the event (even if it's only on their own stream and not on TV) and a Swedish player takes first place, I would still have expected a few words about it or something. It would be a really big step for e-Sports if some countries (through their most mainstream media) were to start recognizing e-Sports champions as "worthy" champions for the whole nation to be aware of.

Edit: Holy crap, the guy basically owned that event like a BAWSSS !!!! Show him more love !!!

Swedish media hyped e-sports like a year ago or more when Jinro was hot. When things started trailing off and growing less popular I guess they re-prioritized.
