Hi Guys,

living in South Africa now for 12 Months I discovered this Article at the Mail&Guardian-Website. The M&G is a weekly print that is one of the biggest here in SA. Its nice to read some good article about e-Sports around here! It features PandaTank, one of the best SC2-Players in SA but also the e-Sports-Scene in SA in General. Enjoy!

I thought the daily mail had written some racist crap and the guardian had written how it makes students minds better. Still no publicity is bad publicity and I'm glad SC is getting exposure in SA.

The article really showed a great perspective from the viewpoints of those players who are on the thin line of almost making it. Definitely worth the read.

I'll be honest when I saw the Mail & Guardian I assumed the UK versions But at least SC is getting more exposed to other parties :D :D

The guardian UK had SC2 on the front page today:

Unfortunately it was in the technology section and not the sports section!
