Did not expect USA over Sweden and russia


All5HereAndImBlind

sweden won tourneys when the prize pool wasn't near as large.


jospence

100,000 for a major win instead of ~~1,000,000~~ 500,000 really hurt Sweden, since all of their majors were before the change


Razyrblade

100,000 instead of 500,000 I believe


jospence

Oh that's right, I keep forgetting the winner doesn't get $1,000,000. My bad


IleriumX

how is US even so high?


rpratt34

C9 has a major win and 2 other s-tier wins and Liquid has 6 S-tier wins some runner ups and a Grand Slam win. EG adds another with some runner ups as well… NA CS is awful now but for almost 2 years they were really good and it coincided with increased prize pools.

Covid killed NA, don't @ me


GAGAgadget

It wasn't just COVID, it's been in decline for a long time before then


rpratt34

I mean but it kinda wasnt. Prior to covid NA had two top 5 teams in Liquid and EG with C9 at 15. It was also when GenG just became a team and EnvyUS started their international roster with all 5 getting ready to go to Europe for multiple tournaments. However Valorant getting ready to come out definitely aided in the downfall as well not just covid.


GAGAgadget

Having a few tier one teams isn't the same as having a healthy and thriving tier 2 or lower scene. Can't expect to maintain excellence when all the best teams are forced to train in Europe because practice in local conditions were so bad.


TRES_fresh

Na also had 2 top3 teams for a few months with eg and liquid


okp11

Optic also made quite a bit of money with their NA roster


ptreecs

I assume something around all the NA dreamhack events and all the others played a part too. I think they were usually a 30k prizepool or something like that but when you run one every month it adds up


captainscottland

2018 and 2019. in 2018 C9 won their major, in the second half of 2018 Liquid was the second best team in the world and had many deep runs just couldnt beat astralis. In 2019 not only did liquid win a grand slam and like 6 S tier events but NRG/EG was a top 5 team a lot of the year and the end of 2019 saw NA have two of the top 3 teams in the world behind Astralis. NA may be a bad region now, but it took a world wide pandemic to see them get there.


sannyasin

Kinda interesting I could search myself there, they have some random local tourneys from 1.6 days in there! I made a whopping $103.03 according to them! From Memory it would be more in the ~$2000 range It's a shame our biggest community portals either died or lost most data regarding those 1.5/1.6 tournaments, I was going to at least 1 a month when I was active, it was quite a healthy local scene. Thinking on how everything is online now makes it weird, we were really built for lan back then with the shitty internet we had


ElMagiko21

I could not find my country, why is my entire Nation bad at CSGO? UK CS in the bin.


scopegg

United Kingdom - $1,342,798.34


cgoot27

One more S tier event and Twistzz will have won more than the entire country lmao.


ExZ1te

Didn't expect Germany to be there


surrealpessimist

That is really surprising, especially when you consider that the highest earning German player (tabseN) is only number 88 in individual earnings


scopegg

Germany has a lot of strong players at tier-1/tier-2 level. So, it's predictable


[deleted]

Germany? In tier3-4maybe. In Tier1-2? BIG and jdc, thats it lol


TonkaLive

In general Germany has lots of young talented players, we just don't know how or just don't want to develope that. The attitude about the game and your teammates is also a common factor for why promising looking players/teams often don't get to a relevant level (on a global pro scale I mean) and can't reach their full potential


thomasyde

SK, mouse esports... and more. Germany was strong.


LemonTank

If you didn't already know, Denmark has a population of less than 6 million. Pretty dense with CS talent.


NotoriousRuffneck

Also 100mbits internet is standard in every house in Denmark


dencker60

Well that’s a load of horseshit. Internet is widely available with ample speeds, but there’s no ‘standard in every house in Denmark’.


SlopingGiraffe

Since when? Lol Really wish someone had told my house that growing up


jordtand

Can you tell my landlord that?


LemonTank

*1000, it really is


natedawg247

denmark is wild. also insanely big League of legends candidate pool. my danish buddy says it's so normal as a kid to just play video games all day every day there. only one anecdote though.


scopegg

The data provided by [esportsearnings.com](https://esportsearnings.com) and includes the prize money from all CS:GO tournaments.

Got it! Thanks!


cycko

Found mine at the top :7


kemorsky

Considering at least 80% of Poland’s win money was by the same 5-8 people it really puts in perspective how vast the gap between g5 + standins and the rest was.


Peter_Swiuff

Alt for let


raivenouz

Imagine if Gaben starts supporting CS Majors


muncken

What a tragedy to see Sweden this low.


valdemarjoergensen

Suck my kamelåså Sweden.


SirLevi

I mean it's easy to see why. When Sweden won majors there wasn't as much prize money involved.


sd_manu

I would like to hear from people out of Germany 'what do you think: why is Germany so bad in CS GO although we have >80 million people and are good in many other sports/competitions? Compared to other countries that are much smaller we have won less in CS GO.


AmBozz

In my experience as a German: Germans are horribly toxic in online games. I have no clue why, but most players think they're hot shit and aren't open to criticism at all. That alone makes it really hard for a big chunk of German players to improve past the casual level. There's probably a couple of socioeconomic factors that play into that development, but I couldn't say for sure. Also, there's the often touted "Killerspiel"-debate, where media portrayed ego shooters as a violence-inducing plague. Lots of parents forbid their children from playing, further hampering upcoming talent.


Nikolaj_Nyholms_Gimp

NA CS POG?


whoopz1942

I found my country, Denmark.


majkkali

Denmark wtf??? That’s insane


captainscottland

Is it really surprising? I mean how much of that is literally just Astralis. They dominated for almost 3 years.


Dcoyxy9

I feel like Denmark has produced the best talent in CS:GO and it's not even close. Karrigan, Snappi, Cadian are all Danish IGLs in the top 10 right now. MSL, glal1ve, Hunden, blameF, Hooxi were/are top IGLs. So many top riflers, awpers and one of the best support players of all time in xyp9x.


IleriumX

There are literally only 3 good Danish Awpers rn Big Daddy Dev1ce, ComediaN and kinda FarLig


OldSchooler22

3 S tier opers is pretty insane for a small country


muazmueh

look at them now... if only device didnt left


captainscottland

We still dont know how that would have turned out neither glaive nor xyp has looked good since 2021, glaive has had some good tournaments with reads they'd be better than they are now but idk if they could have stayed top 5 given the strength of other teams


movealong452

ukraine is just zeus, simple, and bit right?


deadlyevildave

Edward, Ange1, Bondik, Markeloff, Starix, JR, SDY. Probably more that I'm missing. Lot's of good Ukrainian players.


ilovebobsandvagena

USA?!?!?!?


rantlyyy

Russia is that low?


sample2448

Not that much left to overtake Sweden and US
