But then UK has 62 million and only two good players so I can't really talk. Higher population, yes. Also a larger country with events all over it, money being a factor, it is very difficult to break out in America without having a favorable situation. By your logic though, China should have the best players in the world just because they have the largest pop. | ||

Don't think it's that either. The US's biggest problem is how big it is. You can't have a thriving gaming scene if people live in major cities separated by hundreds if not thousands of miles. | ||

Pro gaming is completely rejected in the french culture for example, yet Stephano is doing great  | ||

Honestly ROOT is the only major NA team that will pick up players like that... teams like EG and complexity only go after the big names (which means, lately, Koreans) so it really doesn't matter for an up-and-coming NA player even if they consistently get high placings in Playhem... | ||

Actuallly CNBC recently invested in Esports and that would certainly weaken your case that pro gaming is a joke to almost everyone. Esports is growing and will become more accepted and understood over the next few years. | ||

If I win every Daywalker platinum tournament and Sheth doesn't make it out of pools at MLG I must be better than him. What kind of logic is that? People are saying that Sheth, Idra, etc actually had a chance to win. If you win every "Daywalker platinum tournament" and Sheth competes in them but never wins over you, then yeah you may be better than him. | ||
