I swear that when you look at EMEA's top teams and players, it's always French, Spaniards, Swedes, Russians, Ukrainians, Turks, and even Brits sometimes.
Is Valorant not as popular in Germany?
Germany have some good players but never enough to make a top team.
Upset in League as an example.
Germany does have pretty good grassroots and interest in esports.
Fokus is the biggest german org in valorant, though the roster isnt german anymore. But kuba their 6th man gets good viewership as a streamer.
There is a decent german rocket league team , a decent german csgo team but none of these rosters are world beaters
G2 was founded in Spain just like MAD Lions. Later they both got bought/ moved out to different countries, so no, both were originally Spanish orgs.
But my point is do Germans really feel identified with G2 more than other Europeans? Like does G2 make German content specifically? Idk but I feel like G2 it's more border free
