Sweden Prepares for European E-sports Championship with Bredband2 Support

Sweden's national e-sports teams are gearing up for the 2025 European Championship set to take place in Pristina, Kosovo from July 9-13. Both the men's and women's teams in Counter-Strike 2 have successfully qualified for the highly anticipated tournament, aiming for medals to elevate the country’s profile in the e-sports arena. Head coach Fredrik 'JAEGARN' Kempf expressed confidence in the teams' capabilities, stating, "The ambition for a Swedish national team in e-sport is always to go for victory. We have two strong teams this year, and when Sweden competes in such a tournament, we can expect really good results."

The sponsorship from Bredband2 is a pivotal aspect of this undertaking, underscoring the importance of corporate support in the growth of e-sports in Sweden. Marko Rajkovic, a marketing strategist at Bredband2, emphasized their pride in nurturing this segment of Swedish sport, saying, "E-sport is part of the future's association life, both here at home and globally. We want to inspire the next generation of gamers and show that dreams of large arenas can become a reality."

Players are not only focused on competition; they aim to inspire young gamers, particularly girls. Tilde '7LICIOUS' Byström of the women's team noted her wish to serve as a role model, stating, "If I had seen a women's national team when I started playing, I would have been incredibly inspired. Now I hope to be a role model for young girls interested in e-sports."
