I don't really know much about WoW, but it does not suprise me that a number of good online clans are based in Finland. What you are seeing is likely a side effect of what is arguably the best public school system in the world. Online gaming pulls heavily from the 14-24 demographic, and these kids can utilize either hemisphere, thinking logically and creatively as needed. They are fantastic problem solvers and can organize very quickly. Look at Dowly, here. If his profile didn't say he was from Finland, you'd think he was from an English-speaking nation, as he is so fluent that he can even engage in nuanced colloquialism with the ease of any kid from the eastern USA, and he's young.
