Do people associate names with countries?

#1

So I have this interesting idea for a social experiment:

Do People Associate Player Names with Countries/Regions? And if so, which country do the people associate them with?

Reply with a rather unknown player name, you can find a lot of players in just going to "Events" and getting some random tier 3 team

I will start: Arquiza

to a certain extent yes, if a name has many ZZZs or TTTs or repeating chars then its brazil, if the name is unpronounceable its china, if the name looks like it was written by a 14y/o emo kid then its India.

Why the india stereotype tho? I saw indian playernames, and their names seem like they are stuck in 2010... What is the reason for that?

I have read some theory somewhere that india still uses a lot of facebook which contains recycled content from years ago but im not sure if thats correct

Hellranger
Hellfighter

LMAO

There is no particular reason as such, its just how player's names where growing up. So you also keep names like that. Hellranger said in an interview that when he was a kid, his elder brother named his account for him

I don't know how esports names are relevant to facebook to India is at a similar state to the west where Facebook is filled with a bunch of aunties and uncles who share garbage while most of the younger generation is on insta and snap.
