Grats on the huge reception Jinro!

But you know, you have to win Dreamhack now.

Seriously, you'd better win, we're counting on you.

Where did you get that impression from? I hope you're not stirring up drama for the sake of stirring up drama...


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.".


About 8 months ago Jinro left Sweden for Korea to participate in the GSL.
Don't mind me

Sometimes, it's really awesome to live in Stockholm. ^^

Wish I could've made it to meet them at the airport, though...
It's the least I can do.

Sweden has always been an e-sport country.

They have the best Counterstrike players in the world

Arlanda is the biggest airport in Sweden so that sentence basically said:

"When Jonathans father, Peter Karlsson, dropped "Jinro" off at Arlanda airport eight months ago he couldn't imagine the scene that took place yesterday"

The newspaper, Aftonbladet, will also stream the dreamhack invitational. SVT (think the BBC but Swedish) has been at the dreamhack lans for a couple of years doing web broadcasts.

On wednesday Jinro will also be attending a show called "Nyhetsmorgon" on the Swedish TV-channel TV4. It's one of those "Good morning/news" shows, and is broadcasted live to the entire nation. I don't know if it will be just him as a guest, or if there will also be some coverage from the DreamHack event (perhaps Jinro himself knows?). Nevertheless there will be VODs available here afterwards:

http://www.tv4play.se/nyheter_och_debatt/nyhetsmorgon

Be sure to check it out on late Wednesday/Thursday or so. Not sure when they will be up really.

Looking forward to seeing it!

Oh man, I hope Jinro isn't feeling too much pressure! I hope he can get to the finals.

The child gets the mothers last name unless you decide otherwise. Wives usually take the husbands last name but not always (my dad took my mothers last name when they married for example).

It's usually the father's name, but having the mother's (or even both) is getting more common I think.

There's some stuff where noble surnames can only be inherited from fathers though. Silly traditions

Pretty cool. Lol at the standard negative reaction to the word ESPORTS in the comments on there.


Would anyone mind translating a comment or two? I'd be interested to see what people are saying

One of them was something about how ESPORTS wasn't a real SPORT because you couldn't get any injury worse than mouse arm/carpal tunnel. You know, because it's no sport if it don't hurt. He was quickly shot down, though.

Then there's a discussion about how ESPORTS™ might finally be expanding beyond its status as a subculture, considering how this article got on the front page of Aftonbladets homepage.


No doubt that esports is taking off in Sweden, we are the most successful country in the world after Korea in Starcraft 2 and newspapers aren't late to pick up on that fact. The tune has totally changed regarding computer gaming compared to just a few years back where every report in media about gaming had a negative angle.


Germany will always be the Number 1 in terms of eSports (in europe).
Check the ENC nation rankings (fifa,Source,WC3),the WCG-Ranking,ESL,ESL TV.. etc.
but for such a little country like sweden they perform pretty well tho.
we shouldnt forget that there are more games than counterstrike.
and germany is not weaker in sc2 as well.

Oh, I know. I was only guessing where the first guy we quoted got the "his father left him" part from.

Not alot of people read that section of Aftonbladet but it's still a big step. Jinro is just awesome aswell, too bad he plays the wrong game

Wow, he's on Nyhetsmorgon? o.O That's actually pretty huge. I watch that every day before uni/work. Its basically a morning show that discusses a lot of current events. Its inspired by The Today Show on NBC.
