French gamers: a stereotype?

As some of you may know, there's a sterotype that suggests that French gamers absolutely suck at videogames. Obviously, as with all stereotypes, this is never 100% true. I must say though that I've never seen a French player actually playing decently, especially on games like LoL and such. Am I the only one only having horrible French teammates while playing videogames? Have you ever seen a great French player? Is it safe to say that the Frenchies are the worst gamers in the world?

  • French players took Gold and Silver in MLG Spring 2012 for Soul Calibur V. France took Gold in MLG Winter 2012 for Soul Calibur V. EVO 2010 had a French winner in the Street Fighter IV Women's Invitational.

  • I've played against some pretty amazing French people in most of my online games. They are almost always in groups and are very friendly towards me and my friends. I've only ever had a problem with Welsh players. I've been to Wales and the everybody I've met has been very nice but, for some reason, they turn into arseholes online

  • I fought with a French man in Halo 2 before. He kept calling me a Pig and I kept calling him a Frog. I betrayed him and no matter how hard he fought to defeat me, he couldn't.

  • Every time i've ever played with French people, Its been on all the CoD games on PS3 for some reason. They're literally in every CoD Server on PS3, yet on any xbox or pc games, i never run into them. Anyway, on PS3, they don't seem to suck at all, they're always exteremly good. and most notibly; they are VERY loud and are always in groups
