and are they good in it.

but gets sponsored by a state.
Football, Basketball, Volleyball (we are especially successful in women's volleyball.) Weightlifting
Before the start of the competition, olive oil is poured on the wrestlers.
if you search you can find much more interesting things in this sport :)
basketball, we're decent I guess. most of our star players play in Japan leagues because our leagues underpay KEKW
India doesn't have any official national sport. According to RTI filed under 2 circumstances, the ministry of sports replied that India doesn't have a national sport. Please google it, not many of my country mates know this.

Football for men
women esport is volleyball (i think)

Fakeflagging?
Here the most popular sport is still football I think, hockey is also very popular, but I think that for a long time now we haven't had a real talent pop up as we had 15-20 years ago.
Tennis is on the rise too though
I personally like watching curling lmao
I'd expect national Indian game to be chess, table tennis or badminton lol didn't expect a winter sport
if u put suicide rate in KR i should put homicide rate in brazil sadge
well heres sth to put into perspective:
you know how there are drx haters in vlr?
well ive been seeing some of the korean response:
"top 6 at this event doesnt feel like top 6"
"drx how are you always this bad and never seem to learn from getting destroyed by fnatic and c9..."
"how could you lose to zeta division never lose to a jp team"
"always disappoint"
"just dont participate next time"
and this is from a community that barely gets over 5k viewers for their games.
imagine this but on a country's scale.
korean online community harassed a female streamer and her mother to suicide within the last few months.
holy shit, I didn't know that koreans are derogatory and with little sympathy at that level with other koreans.
we are really really harsh. theres a reason korean teams in esports are monsters/robots because they grind so fucking hard and are under so much pressure all the time.
have u seen the movie whiplash? its like only the strongest in mental and skill survive. this is rooted in every facet of our culture and society.
This explains to me why Koreans in LoL never express a micro-reaction of happiness even though it is the best region in the world. You have to become a robot to withstand this level of pressure. Is that why SKT T1 Wolf fell into depression?
probably yes. i know DRX scrim like 12 14 hours a day, so burnout is also a thing.
Being from Spain:
Fencing (esgrima)
We're good in pretty much every sport (not videogames, people go out a lot here)
