Keep doing what your doing for the e-Sports scene Jinro. Much appreciated! Good luck @ Dreamhack.

If you're going to troll (FIFA = ESPORTS LOL), can you at least post in legible English? Put some effort into typing. Thank you. And please don't bother trying to convince anyone that you're not trolling. Because it's either that or your English reading comprehension is terrible because you misunderstand pretty much everything you post about. And you pretty much only post about stuff like this, ever. Which is pretty ridiculous considering this is a Starcraft community. I'm just gonna say this though. If Germany is a better competing ESPORTS country, it's because of games like BW, WC3, SC2, CS 1.6 and Quake put together. Not those kids games you keep harping about.
exactly you are one of these mentioned 4,5 names.Some minutes ago i was about to forget you. and i think i better will. and you boy better put some effort in typing how normal sweden is.im sure you can do that!
"(FIFA = ESPORTS LOL)" ok i knew i shouldnt take you seriously anymore.dawn it..

It might be there if you check that morning (was it Wednesday?) when it's supposed to be broadcast. Otherwise you'll just have to watch the whole thing or wait for it to be put on tv4play.

I checked back and apparently it's from a poster in this thread that didn't provide a link claiming his father works there. In all the excitement people didn't really question him.
Poster was igge on page 7.

What the hell are you talking about? I don't go around defending Sweden in every thread and I usually get quite annoyed at people who feel the need to point out how good Sweden is every time a swedish player has some kind of success, but in this case I was responding to a guy who said that Germany owns Sweden in e-sports and I don't agree with that. I said I think the two countries are pretty even overall.
You on the other hand are just a troll, trying to piss people off and claiming I said thing that I didn't. For example I never said Germany was shitty, now please go troll somewhere else.

"Fairly mainstream local media" is probably a vague term, but it's actually an article in a newspaper (that even though it has some sort of tabloid-status) is read by 2,5 million people daily, that's about 25% of the swedish population.
And if I'm trusting the people in this thread that he is appearing on "Nyhetsmorgon" in a few days that's huge! My guess is they're airing an interview and Jinro will have a chance to promote SC2 in Sweden even more.
And "Nyhetsmorgon" is the Swedish equivalent of "<insert random broadcasting company> Morning News"
(for more statistics, according to MMS, who measure vieweramounts in Sweden TV4, who are supposedly interviewing Jinro, is watched by about 40% of the Swedish population daily, couldn't find specific info for "Nyhetsmorgon" sadly).
So lets just hope esports takes off for real and gets a dedicated show on TV sometime in the near future, would be awesome!

I really hope we can see Jinro get back up to the point where he is beating people that no one expects. I'm a big fan, and it's been hard to see him getting taken out so much
You can do it Jinro! Believe in yourself!
|
Awesome news, glad to see the number one strategy game in Sweden being starcraft.
|
that's cool. hope the homecoming is a good morale boost to help him win dreamhack.
|
A lot of you asked when Jinro will appear on Nyhetsmorgon on april 13th. This is not decided until the day before, so at best I could give you an update sometime late april 12th (CET). I asked my father to sent me a text when he finds out the schedule, but I will be attending the DreamHack invitational so I won't be home until late in the evening (I guess).
Though come to think about it, I guess one of my friends has a decent phone with internet and could lend it to me to make a post here. Or I could give the info to Rakaka/Rakakaworld or some-such site (since Rakaka and DreamHack basically go hand in hand), and they could update their site with the info. Nevertheless I'll try to make sure I can give you the info ASAP.

Ah, home sweet home. <3 Jinro; hope to see him at future MLG Events this year.
|
The fact that a newspaper (outside of Korea) is writing about SC2 and their players, is just amazing!! Very awesome!! Jinro FIGHTING!!
|
I can't stop smiling after seeing this article ( I cant read/speak Swedish : / ). Really amazing to see E-Sports making waves around the world.
Edit: LOL I didn't realize the original post was the literal translation XD. I'm pretty dumb sometimes : /
|
It's awesome that Jinro's dad watches his matches, sounds like some awesome parents!
|
that just put the biggest smile on my face. congratz to jinro, must have been really awesome seeing the effect you have on esports in your home country. Hopefully give you that boost you need to take home (or leave home i suppose) with the gold.
Jinro Fighting!
