Are the iceblock players any good?

I think the top players from both regions are pretty much equal, the culture of Korea and their view on esports is the difference as their play pool is deeper then the west, like how Canada has become more of a nba country so we see more of them in the nba but still majority Americans now since they put more into the game funding wise the same could be said for Koreans in esports. That’s also why Scandinavians are also good at games IMO also the cold.
