One of the main contributors to Indonesia’s incredible esports player base is that the country has a very large population of young people. A large population makes Indonesia a higher gaming population than other countries.

It is also important to mention that advances in technology have allowed powerful smartphones to become more affordable to the masses. As a result, many Indonesians can buy smartphones at affordable prices to play mobile esports games.

The Indonesian government has also shown its full support by launching the Indonesian Esports Association (IESPA). IESPA manages large-scale Indonesian esports teams to compete in international esports tournaments such as the ASEAN Games for esports.
