Yesterday an article was published which said that ESL and Amsterdam Arena have established a partnership for 3-5 years.

Article is in Dutch so here is English translation:

Amsterdam Arena and e-sports organization ESL establish partnership

Wednesday 10 februari 2016 - 10:48
Amsterdam Arena and ESL, the largest e-sports organization in the world, are collaborating. Both parties want widely put e-sports on the map in the Netherlands.

The Benelux-branch (Belgium Netherlands Luxembourg) of ESL is devoting itself in the following years to put e-sports on the radar of the large public. For this a partnership with the Amsterdam Arena has been made.

Henk van Raan, chief innovation officer Amsterdam ArenA: "We are looking forward to collaborate with ESL Benelux, to turn Amsterdam Arena into the epicentrum of e-sports in Netherlands - and who knows possibly Europe. It also fits perfectly within our strategy to link the new technological advances which the ArenA is making with new event concepts. A structural collaboration with ESL Benelux is for us a logical step to become the trendsetter on the field of e-sports."

Jaap Visser, business development manager: "We came up with a 3-5 year plan around e-sports. This year the first activation will take place. It could be a finale, but then in one of the smaller rooms. The ultimate aim is to host the worldwide ESL One event, by which we get all large players to Amsterdam."

Hype?

Dutchies are interested to come :)

Seeing as Dutch is also your native language, was wondering a few things.
How did you experience learning & talking Japaneze in Japan? What sort of reactions did you get from the natives; were they supportive or rather arrogant?

And what is it like to study Russian grammar?
Is it much more complex than learning French / German?

I'm currently in NZ at the moment but will be in Turkey for halve a year in September.
Going to take Turkish language courses there but also have the opportunity to take Japaneze classes.
I'm not really affiliated with Japan atm as I don't watch the anime stuff, but do have some (business) connections there so might be good for future travels; although I wonder if it will be worth it to have a medium/poor level of Japaneze as the stereo type is that the native Japaneze people are quite resistant when it comes to foreigners trying to speak in their language and when they do not possess it. What's your opinion on that?

where abouts are you staying? im in albany area
