Playing computer games against each other online is often associated with young people. But in Stockholm, there is currently a team with an average age of over 70 years.
Now the big goal is Dreamhack in Jönköping in early December. It is the world's largest LAN party, in which young people gather together to play against each other."It will be very exciting and they will get a match. Those who are younger underestimate us so they will have a surprise, says Wanja "Knitting Knight" Godengge, 63 years.
