Do nationalities of players matter?

#1

Ibis

Idk I just lose all expectations when I see the UK/Italy flag on pro players for example. even if players from these countries perform good on T1-2, I just can’t imagine someone of these countries (examples) to be absolute tier1 players. Does anyone think like that as well?

If I see prodigies from Turkey, France, Denmark, Sweden, Ukraine or Russia to name a few examples- I honestly think they are better and maybe overrate them because their nation seems more skilled to me

For expectations, probably the stereotypes influence that
In reality, I don't think it matters

I expect turks, russians and scandinavians to be good
I don't expect players from any country to be bad except for maybe the US and India

Yeah it does. But mostly depends on the region he is playing in. Like if he is from EMEA I would usually have higher expectations than some prodigy in Japan for example

Yes, saying "i dont expect a "x" player to be a good player because hes from this "x" country
Is literally the most blatant way of being xenophobic 💀💀 i mean i couldnt expect less tbh dudes on this website say a bunch of racist shit or just weird in general and mods do nothing

Im not surprised you’re so sensitive cause Brazilians have a hard time von vlr since champions. Not everything is xenophobia bruh..
when you think of Germany, the first words to come in you’re mind probably are nazis (sadly), football, sausage for example.
But not big valorant players.

It’s just a stereotype! Its not that I hate these countries, I just don’t associate good valorant players with them in the first place

I do know 💀 its Basic sense but apparently some people like you breathes so much copium that you dont think this is xenophobia, and probably think the same for racism, but obviously you dont say it because youre a clown

Simple, saying "yeah he gotta be dogshit because hes from italy" is literally xenophobic because youre assuming who the fuck they are and how good they are because of their country, literally the same shit as racism but instead of race using their country or where they live. Do you understand now dumbfuck? Or do i need to simplify it even more?? This shit of "stereotype" never existed, yall just say shit according to who wins, in csgo years ago noone give a fuck about CIS because they werent winning anything, now they call them the goats, the same for NA who because of their players people in 2015 thought they were going to win it ALL but instead never won anything again in any game, or a better example, Brazil is called the fps country but even then literally people like you think we are dogshit but when we were winning majors in csgo we were the best players in history or turkey whos known for having aim gods, noone gave a fuck about them till a player like xantares gave his country the Spotlight for others players. Like i said and for the last time, stereotypes in games doesnt exists. Yall just say shit according to what is happening, like what happened in iceland when sentinels won everyone said sentinels best team win all hahaha noe their region is called one of the worst so please just shut the fuck up with your 0 iq texts bro

Ok lmfao you have no fucking idea of what xenophobia is. Xenophobia is when you hate (not say it isn't good at a videogame) something of someone just because it is from another country
Btw I ain't bosnian lmfao I'm italian
