History of Esports in Indonesia

The history of esports in Indonesia began in 2002 with the organization of the first World Cyber Games (WCG) in Indonesia.

However, esports only really became widely known outside the gaming community in 2018 when the MPL Indonesia Season 1 Grand Final was held at Taman Anggrek Mall. The event caught the public's attention and started to become a trend in society as well as a non-endemic industry.

Esports Development in Schools

Esports is considered to help in character building, regenerating professional players, and creating a solid community.

Hmm... To be honest, this is interesting information for me too, because this is the first time there are games that are recognized educationally. There has always been a stigma that playing games has a positive impact, so many parents think that games make children's achievements go down.

However, the presence of esports schools certainly brings a new perspective and buzz. So, what do you think, do you agree with esports going to school? Would you like to enroll your child in a school with an esports program? Give us your thoughts in the comments section!
