Why is Denmark so good at esports?

by devaccess



Denmark is a country of only 5.7 million but has contributed some of the best esports talents of this generation.

Esports has become a part of Denmark’s DNA. The nation’s most successful gamers are some of Denmark’s biggest celebrities.

Through government action and public reception, the Danes are supporting their current stars, and building infrastructure to help their young talent flourish.

Denmark has always been a front runner in computer science and technology. Especially compared to the size of the population. The economy is both healthy and well regulated to protect against private-owned monopolies. This has resulted in some of the best IT infrastructure in the world. The educational system is a world leader in embracing the use of IT. Children have been learning to use computers effectively for many years at this point. Now combine all this with very boring weather most of the year; it's really no wonder that we spend a lot of time playing video games.

So its just denmark being a relative cold country (people tend to go outside less) and alot of free time that causes tons of players with thousands of hours in games which is a requirement to have a chance to be pro.

The other aspects seem just like a result of denmark having alot of esport pros.
