Dreamhack delivered an epic fight between foreigners and koreans for free, while MLG went for a PPV of matches we see on regular basis in GSL, where the win doesn't matter all that much tbh. so glad dreamhack isn't ppv i dont think theres even a small chance of it going ppv | ||

Terran: Thorzain Zerg: Stephano Protoss: Naniwa Two of the three are Swedes I don't think he ever stopped being the best foreign Terran. It was just that no foreign Terrans had won anything. | ||

Wolf and Apollo are arguably one of the best combos in the business after seeing them this weekend, I don't think the casting suffered at all. | ||

It seems like the more south you go, the higher are the possibility of having someone calling you a racist if you're wearing a Swedish flag. Only my experiences though. I am fairly sure the aversion to patriotism in sweden is nothing compared to germany... for obvious historical reasons. These rules do not apply to cars and football though. | ||

The closest you get to major I think is IESF where Sjow won, but despite it being worth a fuckton of money the player field was pathetic and more akin to a regional online event.

I'd happily take Wolf and Apollo over most of the casters at MLG (bar Artosis). | ||

SVTs job is to pick up anything that is "in the public interests" which apparently eSPORTS is becoming more and more =) | ||
