In regards to a recent topic, this post is to summarize the factual evidence to discredit any claims by the EU to be superior gamers to the US or most of NA. In fact, reporting would insist quite the opposite.

Sorry, EU.
The conversation to me, quite frankly, would more or less in reality be an argument such as this:
South Korea v China v Germany v Canada v United States v Denmark v Sweden v Japan
As far as I know, outside of those countries, majority of gaming is irrelevant.
