The thing is, It's more united now because all games are under the same organisation (ran by Dreamhack and Inferno Online). So it's much more like an MLG (8 stops with smaller ammounts of prize money) and then the winners of these stops qualify for the big event at Dreamhack Summer with 400.000 SEK (which is around 50k dollars). We've had circuits for Fifa (TV channel TV4 had something) and CS 1.6 (Inferno Online League, with 4 circuit stops and one big final) earlier. | ||

He apparently changed his hotkeys back in december as well and he believes he has a better macro now because of that. Will be interesting to follow Sjow this year, i hope he keeps practicing hard. | ||

The Swedish qualifier for wcg were made through this national bSwedish championship second qualifier which were won by cytoplasm. So he made it both into the national finals which will be held at Dreamhack this summer and a slot for WCG earlier 2011. So there is 4 additional qualifiers left until the set of players is complete to the summer. I've been at two of qualifiers live so far and they're simply amazing. Open for all players and hosted at local it-cafes. It really adds something to the Swedish scene we've missed for a very long time. I were going to make a writeup about it all but since this thread already were made it saved me the trouble! | ||

Also, sadly they should stop forcing the swedish-only part of the commentating, it gets super awkward. At least call the units their proper names... | ||

At least call the units their proper names... Guess it´s because Aftonbladet "owns (or maybe could be called the official partner)" the casting rights of EsportSM. Do not quote me on that but I talked to Hellspawn who is one of many that runs the show and he said that´s the way it is. There will surely be quite alot of awesome games coming since there´s still 4 qualifers left until the finals at Dreamhack Summer. I myself will try to attend as many as possible except the one up in Umeå. If anyone is up for joining the trip and lives nearby. Send me a PM and I´ll maybe give you a ride ! | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.esportsm.se/images/1910-umea.jpg) Enjoy the read! The chilly winds in northern Sweden does not stop out Esport fans to duke it out against eachother to earn one of the precious slots for the EsportSM finals hosted at Dreamhack this summer! Some will be travelling for several hours to reach Noliamässan who will host this upcoming qualifiers! So far ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/Zicon_small.png) inFSortOF, ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/Ticon_small.png) SjoW, ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/Picon_small.png) ViPro and Cytoplasm has qualified for the finals but still another four chances remain to fight for the 70 000 SEK prize pool!As usual Maven and Endarspire will be there to cover the event for Aftonbladet. This will hopefully be another awesome event in terms of planning and production. The Dreamhack tournament crew in cooperation with Hellspawn and Greykarn will never fail us! Team property will ofcourse attend and compete at this event! This time it´s Gillon who will get on his mount and ride off with the early morning sun in his back! With his northern fighting mindset he will probably overcome most of the awaiting opponents.Gillons comment on the qualifier: I think it will be a awesome event with a lot of fun meeting the other players. My ambition is ofcourse to win qualifier but there will be a lot of big names attending. Maybe I´ll get lucky and receive a juicy seed in the group play ^^. I definitely think that I got a good chance of winning the event but I´lll guess we just have to see how it goes. I will enjoy my stay in Umeå to fullest and I do not doubt that this will be a great experience for me. Some other names worth mentioning that will attend this qualifier: NaugrimForsenDignitas.MerzDignitas.BischuI think we can expect some really exciting matches with players of this caliber! Maybe there will come some udnerdog and snatch the slot from nowhere? Who knows!? Follow EsportSM at Twitter for the latest news and updated results! Also visit their website for the full player list and additional info (please note that site is in Swedish). And remember Gillon: Don´t belive in yourself. Belive in me who belives in you! //prOpTeodice teamproperty.net ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/HWNq5.png) | ||
