I don't know, but maybe it's bc asians typically have such little living space, that they spend more time on their computers. It's not video games in general, but computer games that they are good at.

1.It's a popular activity
2.It's supported by the government

Same with any other sports. If money is involved, some people will get gud eventually.

>It's supported by the government
WHAT

asians are only good at RTS and MOBA
they suck at most genres, specially shooters.

FPS RTS and MOBA oh and fighting game what else?
pretty sure they are good on fighting game too

because it's a manchildren activity

>they suck at most genres, specially shooters
wrong

because everyone here plays to win

Overwatch doesn't count

what do you think about this guy

>FPS
no, they suck at FPS games
>RTS and MOBA
correct
>fighting games
only koreans and japanese, the rest arent so good

yes David kun, he is just like you.

they train 24/7

>specially shooters
OW is still fps tho
it counts even tho its a shit game
so is pubg

OW is practically a MOBA in first person, the skill ceiling is extremelly low when it comes to actual movement and DM skill, they remove anything that could raise the skill ceiling to make it more "fair"

>OW is practically a MOBA in first person
This is why I hate it. I hate the whole idea of having champions and support and shit. Arena shooters are much superior because your character is just an aesthetic device and nothing more, your skill is everything.

based arena bro
most people today are just too retarded and intimidated to learn how to move in an arena shooter, so the genre is doomed
quake champions was a disaster too, and the netcode is literally worse than Quake 3 from 1998

Just wait for diabotical to come out and save us all

Im a legit S.Koren and I never played any vidyas so far.
I have spent 6 years on Jow Forums on the other hand.

let me guess, you are either a bookslave student enslaved by his parents or a female

The other day I installed Quake III on the ioquake3 engine (the evolved version of idtech3), and there are still servers with real people up, although it's 95 % bots. But man I had real fun.
I think modern gamers mistake skill for complexity.

somehow they tend to be addicted to anything they like. no one here plays video games to death.

Incredibly wrong. There was a top-tier Korean CS 1.6 team in the early days

>you are either a bookslave student enslaved by his parents
Nope, my parents had nearly zero control on my life. They didnt give a damn if i spent the whole weekend lying in the bedroom staring at my phone. I still entered a good uni tho.

>or a female
Fuck, i wish.

*control over

you should get Quake Live, its basically the same but with more players
ive been getting into "race" maps the last time i played, they're soooo fun to do

in the early days of any game most of the "top" teams are not very good compared to the teams that exist a few years after the release of the game

this.

bruh hyper fps is fucking dead in major esports so any ""movement"" youre talking about is absolete

should have known it was some literal boomer wanting to make quake or doom or arena a thing again, sorry no one plays those as esports now, enjoy your cs go slow as fuck movement and tactical grenade tossing with recoil control, because thast what represents fps now

>what are otakus

Holy cow that Spaniard is a nerd

What's your favorite FPS?

lmao git gud

get gud

They simply got nothing fun to do other than gaming

wow is that why every weekends my neighborhood road is fucking packed with weekend tourists from seoul, to play video games in the woods, never knew that

You two gotta settle this in a 1v1 now.

yeah show him

nah i suck at RTS

I have zero interest in how many nerd trophies you got at kimchi gaming but it's kinda funny how you take pride in such meaningless shit and get mad this instantly

>weak bant not even worth replying from now on
vey based

it's just a synergy of a borderline mental illness addiction and the government that has done nothing ever to stop its people from doing it

>people who say that they just play a lot
Most average-to-pro gamers play a lot. Usually they spend all their free time playing.
However even at the average level Korean ladders are one head above the western ladders.
You can't explain that with just playing time.
>people who say that koreans just have nothing else to do
Korean culture is very lively and social, you're just ignorant for not knowing that.
And yet their gaming culture is always a step ahead of the world. And that goes beyond video gaming too, look at the Baduk for example.

The actual answer to this has something to do with their mentality and maybe genetics (idk). It's likely that they're just naturally better at improving, so with the same time spent playing the same games they end up just slightly better. And then it amplifies itself at the higher levels and becomes not just "slightly better" but "significantly better".

You wish nip. I really want the servers to revive to its glory only if for a week.

Idk about Koreans, but I hate Germans when they are my teammates

The reason Koreans are good at game is that their whole youth is consumed by education and military service. Korean would actually start their adulthood freedom in the late 20s so they wouldn’t fuck around when they have leisure. And internet is easily assessable.
