Most countries don't give a sh*t about fifa, but Germany happens to be one that does and the competitive scene Unreal Tournament was minuscule compared to Q3. Your examples is the equivalent of me bringing up Sweden being good at Curling as a counterargument to Germany being good at Football. WCG has had competitions for cellphone games, you want to go over those as well? Give it a rest.


Most countries don't follow CS by alot. But Sweden does and that's why our Swedish players are so success. Pretty sure that FIFA is a game that is played by a casual audience. While most CS players nowadays play it for fun, but everyone knows who GeT_RiGhT or cArn is.

"Last time I checked" Oh, so now you own the fact book of the world I see.
In Sweden, taking the Mother's name isn't uncommon in anyway, take your ingrained American traditions or whatever it is out of here. Yajck

lol wtf

Are all Swedes like this?


Nope, just him being an idiot.


i know him since wc3 and he got banned on a website for stalking me, he is a huge moron actually.

Naaah, It's kinda sad to see as a swede the amount of Swedish people arguing here about their own country's success in esports, to such a extent to even insult other countries.

OnT: Wednesday, note to self. Watch "Nyhetsmorgon" with Jinro ^_^


Yeah, nationalism, who would have guessed it still exists, and even more in the internet...

All I have left to wonder is, where did Jinro's chin come from? I don't see it in neither his father or mother :S Grandparent most likely then.

Ok, then we can establish that you know nothing about Q3. Neither of them are from Germany anyway so it's not helping your argument.

You are just a poor and terrible person who has to defend sweden all the time...in every thread.
and i tell you what is it. you have a small ego and you want to feel better by posing with some success which is painfull for sweden.you are just too busy on TL to write how awesome you think sweden is.And telling other countries how shitty they are especially the biggest esports-nation in europe:germany.
most countries dont give a shit about fifa..good one.fifa was one of the most sold games last year
poland,russia,romania,france,uk,china,korea.all of them competed in fifa with the highest amount of players in the whole WCG..as a game. and do u believe they play LESS?
in terms of UT.no competive scene? lol do u got a clue how many people played Unreal Tournament? and you know which country was third at 1 eswc? SWEDEN!
oh wait but if sweden would have beaten germany everyone would care about UT right?
and oh yea.germany managed to become first in the wc3 european nations rankings.NOONE cares!
so basically you are just a blind patriot and all games where germany rocks "noone cares" lol
you make my day.
and now go to your mother and pick up some attention and compliments but please dont try it right here.
sweden will never be the number 1 and you wont change it with stupid arguments unfortunately
at least the majority of swedes are normal here but its funny that there are always the same 4,5 names who pose around these threads with their pride.kids.

You used to be able to check text-tv (don't remember the page) to see the schedule for the current day. Not sure if they still do that though.

Very awesome, it's a great sign for eSports for so so many reasons. from the fact fans came out to greet their local player when he comes back, to showing how supportive parents are, to the simple fact that this made it into fairly mainstream local media.

If you're going to troll (FIFA = ESPORTS LOL), can you at least post in legible English? Put some effort into typing. Thank you.

And please don't bother trying to convince anyone that you're not trolling. Because it's either that or your English reading comprehension is beyond terrible because you misunderstand pretty much everything you post about. And you pretty much only post about stuff like this, ever. Which is pretty ridiculous considering this is a Starcraft community.

I'm just gonna say this though. If Germany is a better competing ESPORTS country, it's because of games like BW, WC3, SC2, CS 1.6 and Quake put together, so you should focus on that for your crusade of convincing everyone that Sweden is terrible and Germany is super awesome. Not those kids games you keep harping about. That curling vs football analogy was pretty fitting actually.
