Just don't quite understand the booing non-Americans/foreigners, the USA USA I can sort of see being ok for FGC, but the booing is a bit hard to watch. Is booing pretty much accepted if it's an American event with an American favorite playing? There wasn't much booing that I caught, outside of people booing Mago for beating Noah. :p Bu what you have to understand is people have their rooting interests for their friends and countrymen in the game, but when the tournbament shuts down for the day they all go out to eat together, and the locals frequently put the foreigners up in their homes. It's an intense kind of rivalry, but it's still friendly. | ||

I would honestly rather EVO collide with MLG. | ||

They're good, but they're not exactly dominating like they are in Starcraft by a long shot. Besides, they're waaaaaay better at Tekken. :p | ||

More importantly, they have an actual arcade scene where top players are all located in a relatively close distance so they can play together frequently. Japan is smaller than California, and 2/3 of its poulation occupies about a quarter of its land mass. Korea is smaller than that. It is way easier to get regular experience against top level players from just about anywhere in those countries compared to North America, where anybody not in California New York is at a disadvantage. | ||

It's an intense kind of rivalry, but it's still friendly. Not trying to pretend I'm an authority on the FGC, but "manner" is very different compared to the SC2 scene. I think the best way to think about it is as if you we're watching a pro-wrestling match to some extent (but not completely); people are gonna cheer on favorites, boo people who oppose them, but in the end (and this is where it'll differ from my analogy) still have respect for the game everyone brings to the table. | ||
