This reminds me very much about a documentary I saw a while back about competitive fighting games [0].
A Pakistani newcomer ended up taking everybody by surprise in a big Tekken 7 tournament trough his unconventional way of playing.
This was apparently the result of Pakistani arcade culture existing in its own isolated underground niche, in which a completely independent meta for playing the game evolved.
International top tier players even traveled to Pakistan to learn and train that style of playing with local players to incorporate elements of it to their own.
