Why are Slavs and Scandinavians so good at CS GO?

Picrel is NiKo, a Serb from Republika Srpska, and is widely considered as one of the best players of all times along with donk and s1mple, who are Russian and Ukrainian respectively. Astralis was also dominant and they're Danish, and Sweden had a lot of good players too.

CS go wasn't slop, nostalgic boomer. Wash your hands from the doritos, mtn dew sipping fattie

Stop being mad about GO. It was literally outsourced by valve to some 3rd rate studio with the goal of bringing CS to consoles and they gave it a call of duty aesthetic that looked like shit. It took them like 3 years to patch it into a playable game which they only did because skins made it profitable. It doesn't deserve any nostalgia.

Because Asians play their own FPS. If they had CS in Korean internet cafes you would've only known Korean names in the CS scene.

They have Nexon clones.

As for Russia and Eastern Europe indulgence in CS it's availability. Right form the start in 1999 CS was free in all their internet cafes, where gamers could play MP games then. When internet and PC ownership started to penetrate into households they smoothly transitioned into home online play because CS can run on a potato, important for slavs poorfags. At the same time there continuation of offline infrastructure of internet cafes for offline plays and tournaments that both supported eSports for each other.
Scandinavians are good players but too little in numbers and could never run scene by themselves but proximity to eastern Europe helped because of geographical proximity they play on same servers online and that created large combined pool of players.

Besides, Koreans got gapped in valorant and WC3 too by a Slav.

asians suck, they only ever dominated in the 90s because they had good internet
>>
>>85725848
They are the biggest incel gamer demographic amongst europeans
>>
>>85726920
This. People who haven't watched eSports in 2 decades think this, when in reality it's dominated by Europeans and Americans
