Eu how does it feel to know that all good competitive esports games are made in NA? Where are your games eu?
ig this depends on your opinion at this point, but in mine anyway when another company decides to buy another company it's creating an extension of that one company, and yeah that means that Liverpool is an American-owned football club, ig u can say they are an English club as that was where they were first formed but for example when they buy new players they r technically using money that belongs to someone else, same with riot when they develop new games they are using money that at the ends of the day belongs to tencent
in online Iit's easy enough since you just use a engine, irl tournaments they normally go to the bathroom and check a chess engine on their phone, this is the most common. People have also gotten accomplices to stand in the crowd and signal the move covertly. Most of this only works in classical though obviously.
If you were really bold enough it's much easier to cheat in chess then most sports tbh.
because of snowball effect
Have money -> get the best -> best generate more money ->
if you are best at what you are doing and only care about money there's no reason to stay in anywhere else than USA in the west pretty much. You get paid way more and its never ending cycle. And money also means they have more resources and can make better stuff.
