Yeah, the reason people win games is because they have good attitudes.

There is simply just random chaos. Roll a dice, only 1 can be the winner. Or in this case the best. You could argue that you should/could see more well rounded game skill in certain games around the world, and I'm sure there is on some obscure games with little to no following. Actually, Poker and Magic Cards come to mind as pretty even around the world. However, what I think happens is just chance. Some kid(s) pick up the game and get good at it, other people around them see that, they want to be like them, and so on an so forth. Then a community builds around it, then tournaments, then you get the idea. Point is, wherever the first most skilled players appear, the quicker they bounce off of each other refining their play miles above the others, and since they are somewhat isolated in their training, it takes a while for people to catch up, and in the case of BW the culture never caught up at all in the 'mainstream'. And you could probably say the same about any of these games. I imagine there are tons of games that USA/CAN Americas are better at but no one really cares about them at the hardcore competitive levels. One that comes to mind is Super Smash Bros, if you watch that episodic docu, they even go to Japan and own the fuck out of them. The game came from japan and they were better at a point, but the scene and competition and rivalries across USA dominated. tl;dr random talent, random rivalries/communities, random tournaments, random compeition, randomness is the reason why some countries seem better, but in reality it could have just as well been another country to take the top in X game in a parallel universe. | ||
