Geography Test | LEC Pop Quiz | 2022 LEC Spring

How good are you at Geography? In this episode of Pop Quiz we asked some of our players to name countries their colleagues are from. These were some of their answers
Here are some of their answers.

I would either tie or lose to Advienne (depending on how the rules actually work) cause I always swap Romania and Bulgaria in my head for some reason :) And that's with me grinding blank-map online tests in the past. I think Advienne's score is actually pretty impressive.

Yo just remember guys, so many of them left school to play league, skipped lesson and didn't even pay attention. They also play league like most of their time. I know it's obvious for all of you, but just think outside of your box.

[@aspannas]

How early did they leave school? When they were 10 or what? You learn basic geography super early, not in high school. Saying Slovenia for Finland just doesn't even make sense, you should at least know what countries are in what region of Europe, Slovenia isn't even close to the Nordics. Sorry but this is just embarrassing lmao, they are worse than some Americans.

Am I the only one to be very surprised by how little pro players know about this kind of stuff? Here in Belgium I had to remember pretty much every EU countries location, capital and flag in elementary school. I get that you would forget a few of these with times, but no as much as the players here seem to have forgotten (I don't mean to say they're dumb or something, it's just that I felt like geography is something that I learnt a lot in school and I'm surprised by how different it seems to be for them)

[@StarClay666]

Yeah here in Finland we learn all European countries in school too. We had to learn all countries and their capital city. Feels like a joke watching them barely even knowing where their own country is located tbh.

[@gergelyritter9599]

I had to memorize them every year from 5th to 8th grade. I know every European countries' location and flag by heart now. Only thing which gives me troubles are capitals

It's actually insane how little pros know about geography. It's because they spend the overwhelming majority of their time perfecting their craft and livelyhood. But if I meet someone who doesn't know where Finland is, or their neighbouring country, I will get very shocked.

[@andreykovachev7002]

It is the same with everything you need to specialize in. The more effort and work you put into something the more you lose other irrelevant information. I've noticed it with myself as well.

[@nathanaelsallhageriksson1719]

@@andreykovachev7002 Yeah, taht is how it is. Although I don't think information is irrelevant just because it doesn't have a direct use. For example, if you ask an astrophysisist from france what country "this" was while pointing at belgium, they'd probbably say that it's Belgium. Do the same while pointing at Montenegro however, and they'd probbably have no idea.
