Makes sense. The population of Chile is 19 million. That's less than several US states. It's natural that global accomplishments in more niche settings would still garner recognition. In countries like the US, there's so many people winning random shit all the time, you'd never get anything done if they all got to hang out with the president of the country.

It's gotta feel cool having an official manga-style art depiction of you in the game you play all the time.

I don't think the president is actually in the OP pic. He's the guy in the blue jacket standing with Fernando in this picture, unless I'm mistaken.

Does Chile have a large asian population?

Almost none relative to the total population. Oddly enough, there's a dedicated wikipedia article about Japanese Chileans though lol.

No idea who the guy on the left end is, but I would guess he's from The Pokemon Company or something.

No but one of our native populations (the mapuche) share close to 40% of their DNA with North Asian people. Although we had a immigration boom from China in the 1800

They should've played the finals to a best of 5.
>b-but that would've ruined the schedule
Bull fucking shit it's Moon vs Iron Thorns there's no thinking involved just unga. It'd have taken 20 more minutes tops. They weren't planning to announce anything anyways.

That's just the nature of tournaments. He won with the rules they set for it, and that's ultimately what matters in determining the winner. It may or may not reflect who the best trainer/player is, but that's not what the prize and title are. It's champion.

You know your country is absolute shit when winning a card game tournament becomes a source of national pride and you celebrate the winner like a war hero.
