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.

Just checked text-tv for the schedule. No Jinro there :S

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.

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.


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.





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 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. Not those kids games you keep harping about.


exactly you are one of these mentioned 4,5 names.Some minutes ago i was about to forget you.
and i think i better will.
and you boy better put some effort in typing how normal sweden is.im sure you can do that!

"(FIFA = ESPORTS LOL)"
ok i knew i shouldnt take you seriously anymore.dawn it..

It might be there if you check that morning (was it Wednesday?) when it's supposed to be broadcast. Otherwise you'll just have to watch the whole thing or wait for it to be put on tv4play.

I checked back and apparently it's from a poster in this thread that didn't provide a link claiming his father works there. In all the excitement people didn't really question him.

Poster was igge on page 7.

What the hell are you talking about?
I don't go around defending Sweden in every thread and I usually get quite annoyed at people who feel the need to point out how good Sweden is every time a swedish player has some kind of success, but in this case I was responding to a guy who said that Germany owns Sweden in e-sports and I don't agree with that. I said I think the two countries are pretty even overall.

You on the other hand are just a troll, trying to piss people off and claiming I said thing that I didn't. For example I never said Germany was shitty, now please go troll somewhere else.

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.


"Fairly mainstream local media" is probably a vague term, but it's actually an article in a newspaper (that even though it has some sort of tabloid-status) is read by 2,5 million people daily, that's about 25% of the swedish population.

And if I'm trusting the people in this thread that he is appearing on "Nyhetsmorgon" in a few days that's huge! My guess is they're airing an interview and Jinro will have a chance to promote SC2 in Sweden even more.

And "Nyhetsmorgon" is the Swedish equivalent of "<insert random broadcasting company> Morning News"

(for more statistics, according to MMS, who measure vieweramounts in Sweden TV4, who are supposedly interviewing Jinro, is watched by about 40% of the Swedish population daily, couldn't find specific info for "Nyhetsmorgon" sadly).

So lets just hope esports takes off for real and gets a dedicated show on TV sometime in the near future, would be awesome!

I really hope we can see Jinro get back up to the point where he is beating people that no one expects. I'm a big fan, and it's been hard to see him getting taken out so much

You can do it Jinro! Believe in yourself!

A lot of you asked when Jinro will appear on Nyhetsmorgon on april 13th. This is not decided until the day before, so at best I could give you an update sometime late april 12th (CET). I asked my father to sent me a text when he finds out the schedule, but I will be attending the DreamHack invitational so I won't be home until late in the evening (I guess).

Though come to think about it, I guess one of my friends has a decent phone with internet and could lend it to me to make a post here. Or I could give the info to Rakaka/Rakakaworld or some-such site (since Rakaka and DreamHack basically go hand in hand), and they could update their site with the info. Nevertheless I'll try to make sure I can give you the info ASAP.

The fact that a newspaper (outside of Korea) is writing about SC2 and their players, is just amazing!!
Very awesome!!
Jinro FIGHTING!!
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

I can't stop smiling after seeing this article ( I cant read/speak Swedish : / ). Really amazing to see E-Sports making waves around the world.

Edit: LOL I didn't realize the original post was the literal translation XD. I'm pretty dumb sometimes : /
SC:BW has a higher skill ceiling than SC2? SC 64 is where it's at brah.
