Is it something like MLG where you get points by attending? A worrying fact is that we don't have any SC2 player left in the country with Sjow also leaving(yeah a few is coming back like Thorzain). Maybe let Haypro and Morrow battle it out? It seams as they will have a International tournament during the fall that will be going on in the winter throw, maybe traveling throw Europe then.
I Believe there will be enough good players left to battle it out. I mean there are more good players in Sweden besides the players who have good sponsors and oppurtunities. People like Jimpo, Naugrim, Fury, Bischu, etc. will be there.

Yeah there is a few good players. But as I mostly watch GSL, MLG and bigger EU tournaments. and you rarely see this players have success in them.
I just want some player I know skill of.
About the size of Stockholm Esport Arena. In live show "Rakt på med rakaka", did chat with the owner (or spokesperson) and he said would be possible have for 150 ppl.

This sounds awesome :D IOS is always interested in esports finally they sponsored/made a big tournament 
|
Is it only limited to swedish players, or could there also sneak a couple of other Scandinavians in when they get good enough?

Uh no. 400 m² is 20x20 meters. There are tents bigger than that.

And apartments at around 20m² goes for a million. So...

Regarding the arena, fragbite.se recently did an interview with the owner of Inferno Online. Among other things they talk about the arena and what it's intended to be used for - and you also get a sneak peak at the building process.

Always nice to see more tournaments going up, especially European ones, and in Scandinavia nonetheless.
|
Is it only for swedens? I could easily see Finns traveling to those events by boat monthly.
|
It has started, livestream here
Esport SM livestream
Meyera vs Vandroy right now, i'm rooting for my homeboy ViPro to win it all. Go ViPro!
|
Swedish gamers deserve this.. they are the best e-sport country in europe! Farming the absolute best players in CS, quake, WC3, some of europe's best SC:BW and SC2 players and gave some of the best teams also.
Congratz you guys deserve this!

Runa vs Meyera now, looking good for Meyera, Runa is playing too passive.
