take out "region that got the game a month ago" and replace it with "region thats been underdeveloped in FPS forever, has virtually no presence from experienced veterans to be IGLs and coaches, had no support and couldnt attend more international events than events they have attended to this day, have had no ability to play on less than 200 ping for half the region and where talent development has been hampered by the fact that they literally had to vpn to play the game", the latter was really just an microcosmic example to show the lack of experience the region has as a whole.
region thats been underdeveloped in FPS forever
You don't really know the history of FPS in China it seems... they had a good developed scene in the 2000s (during cs 1.5 and 1.6 era), they even hosted some huge events (eg: world cyber games, etc), on top of having some nutty teams & players (eg: Jungle, Savage, Alex, etc via wNv, tyloo, etc), this is the same era that gave Korea their best players, IGLs, coaches and teams (eg: glow, termi, solo, bail, etc via Lunatic-hai, projectKR, eSTRO, WeMadeFox, etc). They were actually viewed on a similar level with korean teams during the mid-late 2000s. That changed once the current political regime in China changed their attitude towards FPS games, and majority of players had to quit or switch to the secluded Chinese version of CS (counter-strike: online) or later CrossFire. That's when it started going down, not because it was underdeveloped, quite the contrary, FPS was huge in China. The problem is that until Valorant came out, there weren't many FPS games in the mid-late 2010s that would gotten approval by the Chinese gov.
You gotta google better next time before making such statements. I don't need to, I've lived through all of that quite closely, I actually know how it was.
