This Is Why Chile Keeps Producing Fighting Game Prodigies

Chile has become a hotbed for finding fighting game prodigies. They are consistently producing top tier talent that challenges on a global level. ScorpionProcs won Mortal Kombat at EVO at 17. Blaz reached Capcom Cup Grand Finals at 15. Craime became an Esports World Cup champion at 15. And now Gudfella is making Top 8s in Street Fighter 6 tournaments at just 10 years old. At first, the explanation seems obvious: Chile has an academy built to develop young fighting game players. Except the academy came after all of them. So I went back through the history of Chile’s FGC to figure out what was actually happening. From the Martínez twins learning Mortal Kombat together as children, to the parents and veteran players who helped Blaz and Craime develop, to the competitive scene that now surrounds the next generation, this is the story of how Chile became unusually good at finding world-class fighting game talent early. Featuring ScorpionProcs, Nicolas, Blaz, Craime, Gudfella, Kane BlueRiver, VGM Academy, Black Esports and the Chilean fighting game community.
