Cant believe this is happening. I cant believe that an actual news paper is making news out of a videi game!
This is a great moment for ESports! :D

Sov, aftonbladet is most definitely a newspaper -_- Whether this is in their printed edition or just online I have no idea, however, so if thats what you were getting at then thats a fair point!

Anyway, the guy was nice and I think Im meeting him again today at some dreamhack stuff.

It looks like a online only article, but I guess they might have a printed version of the whole tournament.


To be fair, the people who are going to be interested in this article, probably don't read the actual newspaper. I know for sure that i rarely read one, as i can get the same news on their website, for free, at my convenience ;p

Newspapers are a dying medium, esports is an internet based industry, and you can reach way more people with an online post than with a printed newspaper.
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

Ah, it ended up in the Paper as well. It's a nice little article, and im very pleased to see it being factually correct as well. Aftonbladet has a tendency to...get things out of proportions if you may.

Jinro FIGHTING!

Wow, really cool to have this infiltrate the mainstream in Sweden. Jinro is becoming so famous, it's pretty awesome.
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

What are you talking about? There's nothing in the article referencing your post...

There is some clarification that needs to be put out.

I recall a long time ago an article being posted from "Sweden's Largest Newspaper" (on another forum) and everyone raged about how it wasn't a newspaper.

So basically in Sweden, they call news sites "newspapers".


No we don't. And Aftonbladet is a newspaper and the biggest one. What people might have raged about is their credability since they have a bit of a tabloid image.

Well, do they honestly expect e-sports to be in a quality newspaper like NY Times or The Guardian? Apart from that, tabloid(-ish) newspapers have a way bigger crowd than quality newspapers, so in terms of promotion this is just fantastic!

I'm guessing he misunderstood this part "When Jonathans father, Peter Karlsson, left "Jinro" at Arland eight months ago he couldn't imagine the scene that took place yesterday.".

This is really cool. Jinro is the man. A good representative for the growth of the foreign esports scene.

Great to see Jirno and his parents happy. Good Luck at Dreamhack!
