Why is CS popular in these countries?
When discussing CS: GO's popularity, we should always start with Denmark, even though Estonia is in first place in the rating. The popularity of CS:GO in Denmark is effortless to explain - the top professional CS has always been a Danish team. When it was mTw, then Astralis, and now Heroic. In addition, Danish brands have outstanding development and marketing, which is why many people know about them. Even those who are far from CS and esports know about Danish teams.
Speaking of Estonia, the main reason for such a large number of players is that this country is represented by a powerful player - Robin ropz Cole. And he is incredibly popular in Estonia, as evidenced by the fact that this year the player was invited to a concert in honor of the country's independence, where he shook hands with the President.
The list also includes Finland and Sweden - other Scandinavian countries where CS is historically popular. And the popularity of CS in Latvia is due to Mareks YEKINDAR Galinskis, who is currently one of the main open fraggers in the world.
What do these statistics mean?
These statistics can be relied upon when discussing the future of the professional CS:GO scene. After all, the more players, the more talent, and the more players will enter the professional scene. For example, a new generation of talents is already emerging in same Sweden. The brightest player from this country is MaiL09 - a 13-year-old rifler who already has 4300 ELO. Most likely, in the future we will see a large number of players from Estonia, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Latvia on the professional stage.
