It’s the developmental areas. Most countries have developmental programs for popular sports in their country, including gaming.

The obsession is the same. Baseball and football are huge in the states. Think La Messina for Barca, youth structures for soccer worldwide.

Also, fwiw, it’s also very fascinating to me that Americans have so much free headspace. Like what does it matter that another culture is different than yours?

What country are you from and what testing system do you use? Where I'm from a 96% average in grade 12 would likely put you at #1 in the country, and a 94% average would likely put you in the top 50 nationally. Honestly I prefer it that way, I can't imagine hundreds of people getting at or near 100 across all subjects, kinda defeats the purpose of figuring out who is at the top.

Incorrect, it's been demonstrated at the undergraduate level. The thought process is very similar: "i didn't deserve to get into this program, i don't belong in this class, i can't participate or learn because I don't belong."
