Copenhagen (AFP) – About 12,000 fans pack an energised Copenhagen arena as the Danish team Heroic defeats Faze, winning a coveted Counter-Strike title in pro gaming. Denmark is one of the leading eSports nations in Europe, with strong government support. “The Prime Minister was here a couple of years ago. That changed a lot. And we have eSports in schools”, notes a Heroic fan, as another fan notes that eSports is now “quite mainstream”.
