I don't get it. Are blacks the best at Overwatch like Koreans are the best at Starcraft?

I'm watching the finals on ABC and the majority of players are Asian or European. But none are black. Only black person is a host but he seems added on. The two white hosts speak for the majority of the time and he just went be right back. Surprised there aren't more.

move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines. Have sheep troopers squadrons A and B flank the cows. They're using DC-17 hoof blasters.

Im not surprised

A lot of blacks dont play this

Maybe the teams couldnt find any good ones.

Which makes a lot of sense. They are a minority.

Maybe none qualified...it shouldn't matter if it's a contest based on skill.

Less serious answer: Too busy playing street fighter/tekken, smash bros, nba 2k, or madden tournaments.

Serious business answer if this isn't a bait topic (probably is though, but whateves, ain't like nothing much else is going on atm, lol): PC Esports in general is a more "privileged kid" thing. Vast majority of the type of dudes that is in actual esport teams grew up in well-off families, and had access to decent/good/great gaming PCs and the time to sit around to play their asses off in their teenage years. Your average kid that didn't have access to PC building money growing up isn't going to be nowhere near being in these tkind of teams, or having the years of experience PC gamin' to be on that level.

Its also the reason why the fighting game community in general has that good old "for everyone" feeling and you see a vast majority of minorities playing....a carry over from the old arcade days, when poorer kids was able to play along with everyone else since all it took was a quarter to beat someone ass. Color didn't matter in the arcades....all it took was lining them up on the cabinet, wait your turn, then prove your might, lol.

Thanks. This is my first ever experience with these gaming tournaments. Didn't realized they were televised until I saw it flipping through the channels.
