I personally know some of the people involved with this, and I can assure you they are competent and skileld at what they are doing. The initative takers are well known characters in the norwegian esport organizer scene, and they have done several big tournaments in the past. I am sure these are the best people in Norway for the job, and their #passion is real.

Looking forwards to this!

Norway seems to be closer than any other country with this, since they have been broadcasting quite a lot of chess on TV the last year and it's really gotten to the wider audience. Hoping we get some kind of effect out of this like that

Um...

Try not to take this post the wrong way, but eSports has been broadcasted on TV since at least 2010 here in Taiwan, and only a few months ago did it make TL front page news when I announced the English stream.

LoL is also broadcasted on a few select 1080P television channels here in Taiwan as well.

I guess you guys could say my point is, "Why not announce this when there is official news regarding the prize pool, players, etc. etc."

EDIT: none the less, it is good to know that there will be more SC2 and CS:GO content coming out from Europe in the near future.
