I've watched mainly three esports over the years. Warcraft 3, starcraft 2 and counter-strike. Best player ever in wc3 is Happy(Russian), sc2 is Serral(Finnish), cs2 is Astralis(all danish team). USA does seem to have solid players in many things but in the things ive watched its always Europeans that can match or sometimes exceed Koreans where USA doesnt seem to be able. Americans seem to be good at speedrunning games though which takes high intelligence.

Yeah I don’t know enough about it, but apparently the Scandinavians do quite well
fnatic and nip are some of the oldest esports orgs out there, both being swedish
high computer literacy, early connectivity fostered a culture
and then Sweden seemingly fell off a cliff like 10+ years ago in many areas.
My theory is that the mass immigration caused too much friction and fucked up the Swedish harmony
yup
went to loose with the immigration politics, which are borderline impossible to reverse
kicking them out will cause lots of disharmony also
The Scandinavians go hard.
