Hopefully they will start doing "Rakt på med Rakaka" again, so I can call in and whine about it. | ||

RAKAKA founders + some of the writers are the organizers of this. That's why it's so stupid because RAKAKA barely covers the Swedish National Championship in esports. T_T | ||

Well Gosugamers.net's focus is on the international crowd so It's understandable. , but RAKAKA's focus is the swedish crowd so they sould definately be focusing on it a lot more. Bringing interviews, pictures, hyping it up etc. | ||

I don't think it's stupid that Rakaka lacks coverage of the event if the majority of staff behind it organizes esportsm, right? | ||

I don't think it's stupid that Rakaka lacks coverage of the event if the majority of staff behind it organizes esportsm, right? Still rakaka has had reporters that weren't even organizing the event were present at the circuit stops in the past (iceman, lalush, bobhund). none of these work for dh, still they couldn't be arsed covering the events. another major problem is that they're hardly promoting these events, by simply hyping these events up on rakaka they could've easily had a few hundred more viewers. sadly the coverage/promotion is almost nonexistent. I'm well aware that fragbite covered this event very well, but sc2, hon, sf4 fans hardly visit fragbite. and most often when rakaka puts up a notice on their site about the esport sm stops it's way to late. they either put the notice up the same day/in the middle of the night before. which is way to late, and you just can't reschedule stuff. And sure I understand that greykarn, hellspawn and ponderosa are superbusy, as well as that rakaka lacks manpower (help they've been like half dead for the last 9 months, don't understand why they don't recruit some new writers). But I'm also heavily under the impression that some of them just slack a lot, for example in February a local event was held in gothenburg (gbg esport open) which was fairly succesful, has ~100 spectators (the room was almost packed), there were shootouts with CS pro delpan, they had decent commentators and a pretty good setup. Even though both Iceman and Lalush was there not a single interview was made and not a single word about it was mentioned on the website. Like hell, if want esports to grow we can't have our biggest esports site just ignoring everything that's happening. T_T | ||
