Scandinavian/Brazil domination
At first sight, it may come as a surprise that the list only features players from Brazil (FalleN, fer) and Scandinavian countries such as Norway (rain, jkaem), Sweden (f0rest, KRIMZ, Lekr0), and Denmark (roeJ, dupreeh, birdfromsky).
However, these two region/countries are also some of the cornerstones of Counter-Strike having both played a huge role throughout the entire history of the game - also before the birth of CS:GO, with many of the above-mentioned players being former Counter-Strike 1.6 superstars.
