– It’s fun that the interest is increasing, says Martin Ehrenstråhle at E-Town Gaming, who together with the municipality and Ung Fritid are behind the 24-hour lane.
Create community
The idea is, in addition to giving young people who want to bet on e-sports an opportunity to compete, that the hours in the organized arcade should be something social you do together.
– The community part is exactly what we really want. That you should be able to see each other, and not just via the computer, says Martin Ehrenstråhle.
It is important to move the body
Under the lane there are also rest rooms and activity areas to prevent those taking part from sitting without a break at the screens.
– Humans are not made to sit down all day, so physical activity is very important even if the game is sedentary, says Martin Ehrenstråhle.
