Trust me, the education in Sweden is not anything special, it is actually pretty slack-ish compared to many other countries in Europe. I guess we prioritize English though, since we are pretty good at it. Having all games/movies/shows in English helps too I guess. | ||

Also movies and stuff aren't dubbed, except for young kids stuff. I started my English classes at the same time and I believe that it's still the same. | ||

I wouldn't say that the education is particularly good or bad, you're just stupid if you fail to learn it with all the daily English. Most likely. | ||

Yea really. I see comments saying 'aw they're friends, chill out a little. Yea, no. I like sc2, i want it to grow in a serious manner. You do not see 'friends' in football purposely throw interceptions, or 'friends' in formula 1 give up a 2 lap lead just to make it interesting or whatever. It is unprofessional. You want big sponsors and this shit to get public appeal, you can NOT do this kind of thing. It takes the legitimacy out of the match. Imagine if that was the first match someone watched of pro sc2. What would they think of it? If they are friends, he can plug him on his stream, or get him exposure in better ways, not by fucking around in a tournament to get him 'extra screen time' People can get behind that story (12 year old at tournament plays a pro player) without that. The fact they interviewed him right after shows that. The buzz Maru gets shows that. Its a nice story you can dig in to. But, and not just in sc2 but all "e-sports" i enjoy, I want this shit to be taken seriously. I can not even imagine a sponsor can look at a player and go: "Cool, I spent real money sending a player across a few countries, paid for his hotel, paid his entry, so he can do this tournament... and he repays me by fucking around with my brand attached to that." I can not imagine a sponsor wanting to sponsor a tournament when they think players dont take it seriously all the way, and use it as a venue to joke around. If you wanna say its fine because they are friends, thats your opinion, but honestly, this is something that needs to be cut from our tournaments if you want sc2 to be a public thing. Just like we need to cut the shorthand talk, keep things professional, knock it off with the in-jokes, and all the other changes we need. Your opinion is just what side of the fence you are on. I want sc2 to get as big as NFL. And you do not see that kind of shit in the NFL. Period. Please reference a game in professional sports (traditional sports) that something like that happened, and I will gladly eat my words and apologize. I was outspoken about Naniwa vs Nestea, and I am on this as well. Thats all I can do as a spectator, give my opinion. | ||
