Gen.G Reviews

This experience was incredible one. The kind of experience that creates a life-changing impact on you for the rest of your life. Esports has always had an impact on my life in some capacity and this was the first opportunity I've had to truly explore what's behind all the players and fame. Gen. G is filled with wonderfully kind staff and a drive behind them that would inspire any student or recent graduate. Throughout the course of our project we were allowed to stumble, pick ourselves up, and grow not only as individuals but as a group overall. Mentors would step in when asked which allowed for this way of learning to work. Outside the office we were brought on cultural experiences that, while it felt touristy, gave another level of understanding of the Korean market and heritage. I came into the program expecting a basic knowledge of the industry but left with a rich understanding of the Esports market and Korean market.

I genuinely enjoyed my time in this program and strongly recommend it to anyone interested in the esports industry. It’s absolutely worth it—even if you’re new to the field or have little to no prior knowledge. The staff are incredible, and the connections I made here are ones I hope to maintain for the rest of my life. Everyone is truly dedicated to your growth here, and they've continued to support me even after the program. The experiences and lessons you gain through this program can be applied far beyond esports, helping you grow both personally and professionally.

Spending three weeks with Gen.G was an incredible experience that gave me valuable insights into how the esports industry operates. Learning directly from professionals helped me understand better on how they build a strong and sustainable ecosystem.

What impressed me most was how deeply esports is integrated into Korean society. It is treated not only as a form of entertainment but as a legitimate profession supported by structured education. The existence of well-designed esports curriculums—with a focus on integrity, teamwork, and long-term career development—showed me how esports can be both educational and profitable.

Reflecting on this, I see great potential for Indonesia’s esports scene to grow in similar ways, because i do think that edu will transforms socities.

From pitching projects to experiencing Korean culture, Gen.G's Practicum Abroad Program allowed me to try new food, visit a new city, and gain new perspectives from people within the industry to apply to my skillset. I gained a wealth of knowledge and new friends during my 3 weeks, and having a smaller cohort allowed us to bond closely and work well together on our project, thanks to our mentors. Gen.G helped me to develop confidence in what I do as both a person and in my career aspirations, through networking and the program.

The experience with Gen.G was amazing with all the Gen.G staff and all the other cohort members. They provide a lot of opportunities and are open to talk. Make sure to reach out and not stay complacent to get the most out of it.

I was lucky the group I had was as amazing as it was but make sure to get familiar and cooperate with your group. Sadly the practicum was only 3 weeks but this gave me so much insight. I believe I learned what I wanted to learn from the practicum and there is so much to learn from.

I had some of the best times of my life going to Korea to work alongside Gen. G and their wonderful staff. Most of my life I have wanted to learn more about esports and always dreamed about what a career would look like for me. I truly feel like Gen. G tried their best to provide me with what I needed to feel like I got what I was searching for out of this experience. Our mentor made sure to check in with us to see if we were working on a project we enjoyed. Even outside of the office, there were plenty of cultural experiences that the team planned for us to enjoy and made time to help us integrate as best as we could while living there for a few weeks.
