EU/Russia has been the most dominant in multiplayer FPS gaming since the beginning. I'm talking about the shareware release of Quake in the mid 90s on dial-up. These guys are on the level of the extreme top of that esport. I wrote earlier about Rapha still being able to defeat these guys at times but the pure community, rivalvry and sheer talent these guys in Europe display is incredible imho.

I only mention Quake as it's the highest skill ceiling game in the world to me besides something like Chess.

It's *the* definitive First Person Shooter and is simply known as a game you will spend 5-10 years just to get anywhere.

Europe though purely because of low ping times, has an amazing competitive scene within esports. It's a known fact that 90% of chat will support EU in a "EU vs NA" match purely because of past stats.

But don't get me wrong that American's aren't the best, because Rapha is a freak of nature and also represents the esport so hard I would consider him ambassador of Quake if such a thing existed 😂
