The Swedes then took down Norwegian Expert-gaming 16-12 on de_inferno to clinch a spot in the grand final, and a chance at redemption against Paranoia-eSports through the lower bracket.

What's wrong with this? Can't all teams be pro. And pro's aren't only one which deserve news, support etc.

"Can't all teams be pro" just seems like a question, "All teams can't be pro" would have been a more proper and clear way to say it. Also, I have a hard time "Understooding" what you're trying to say when your english is quite broken.

I think it's good that you cover more levels of the scene if you have the time and people for it. Keep up the great work. :)

Why not? Reading about "lesser known" teams adventure can be just as interesting as the usual posts about the top teams. Its only positive that the coverage is not only focused on top 10 teams (or whatever.
