Lol there's no changing a society's gaming culture, especially not just so you get to win in eSports, which in the larger scheme of things is a minor industry. The gaming culture is decided by a region's overall view of games. In the West, games are for casual fun; very few people play them with a competitive mindset, and turnover rate is huge. | ||

Thought CN would at least put up a fight. Has something has changed drastically in the last half year? Or was that just a lucky run for WE? they had mvp white and najin shield and sword I think... not sure if they had another team. But they didn't beat the top teams that's CJ frost/blaze, or maybe one from SKT t1 2 and mvp ozone. But this isn't a team tournament so we'll find out who's better now in world championships. | ||

Koreans have much more individual talent, that's not even up for discussion. The Chinese teams are highly stylistic, that means WE, iG, OMG have their own strategies and it doesn't mesh as well together. The Azubu teams at IPL5, Flame had just very recently took over for Reapered and IPL5 was the first international competition for both teams. Not to mention there was a clusterfuck with room assignments and the poor kids were jetlagged as hell. | ||

The Azubu teams at IPL5, Flame had just very recently took over for Reapered and IPL5 was the first international competition for both teams. Not to mention there was a clusterfuck with room assignments and the poor kids were jetlagged as hell. WE was good at IPL5 and deserved to win. Like you said, its their first international tourney for Korean teams while WE has alot of experience competing in big tourney. This time there is no excuse, China All-star is a very good team, work well together as they showed in their previous matches but not good enough to stop the Koreans. Its BW and SC2 all over again. But you can't hardly blame anyone for that since Korea is the mecca of competitive and market e-sport. When most people watching LOL nowadays didn't have an ADSL connection, there were already TV broadcast of SC:BW national wide in Korea. The rest of the world has alot to catch up. The infrastructure is as important in e-sport as any other regular sports. | ||

Saying that it's a matter of born talent doesn't work because Korea is a country of 50 million people while the rest of the world in eSports has 2-3 billion - ie China 1.3 billion, EU + NA 1.1 billion, SEA another 500 million. You don't just get that sort of RNG when it comes to born talent. It then has to be talent infrastructure and gaming culture. But what, exactly? I think I'm starting to work it out but I want to hear what others have to say. | ||
