While you are reading this message, they're running up those videogame bleachers.
thats exactly what i was gonna say. Its a cultural norm for young men to play video games over there, being a athlete is extra.

Americans caught up to Asians at least on the fighting game scene. A black dude named Dieminion beat Japan's champion with Guile in street fighter 4 and made it to top 8 this year's evo. Mike Ross, Dieminion and Puerto Rican Balrog>>>

i only fukk with dota 2 if its a game like that
I used to think they were just better than us at those games until i started talking to and hanging around them. They play those games an absurd amount of time. Like they will spend 10 hours in the SF4 practice mode just perfecting their timing. I cant even watch tv for 10 hours, let alone play a game for 10 hours or more, every day.
Asians were never better than the US when it came to Marvel.
US has also caught up to Asians when it comes to SF. It can go either way now.
It's shyt like Starcraft that they have on lock (idk about LoL).
Europeans run PC shooters and the US runs console shooters.

these nikkas got a choke hold on the Esports scene
you realize how random marvel is when these gooks shook to rock with it.
they got league, starcraft, sf, kof
Like dude up said, they're not better than us in marvel
Nope, I don't consider us caught up when the only game we actually dominate is Marvel. We're closing the gap in Street Fighter 4, but meanwhile they completely dominate BlazBlue, KOF13, Guilty Gear, SF3, Virtua Fighter and Tekken.

Asians are good at fighting games, and they tend to dominate in them.
It's been that way since I was a kid, and I grew up in a place with a very large proportion of Asians. Not East Asians. Cambodians and Vietnamese, who tended to be bad kids, and even they were the best at the arcades. Guys who were straight up gangsters were dominating.
Asians aren't the best at FPS, sports games, or racing games. It's probably genetic and Some type spacial reasoning that developed in Asia. Many traits are turning out to be, surprisingly.

They took a hammer and sickle to my back
as my boy Arcvian can attest, many years ago in the 90s i used to compete locally in tournament play back when nacmo had an arcade here in the bay area (san jose) and golfland in sunnyvale was where all the pros played.
on an international level every country produces, its not just asians, now when it comes to strategy and MMOs they play those games and televise them on tv, ill never forget being in japan when this was going on,
keep in mind, I WATCHED this shyt like 'OMFG" i never wanted to play tetris ever again. i happen to be in akhiabara that day and there was a gang of people and press watching this on a giant screen. if payed tourneys were the norm here in every county like in japan/korea alot more would play, for fighting games, it is the norm, so you see alot of guys prepping for EVO etc.
i stopped competing after i joined the service, the last tourney i competed in was a tekken 6 tourney in which i made it to an online semi final nationwide, had i won my last two matches, the final was in san francisco,
i was up 3 matches 1 one on this dude and dropped the last two on some houston oilers shyt.
