what does that have to do with anything lol,its not like japan is held back for some reason they just cant produce winning teams,why cant japan improve on their own if they have such a big playerbase and interest in the game
yeah,its all about the type of scene you have,if you dont have the winning mentality and competitiveness&hard work it doesn't matter how popular something is,like league in the west is popular but china and korea dominate it because they have built a culture of winning,hard work and professionalism unlike the west
