Germany have a very well-organised culture for playing Counter-Strike, and often good settings/playing conditions due to Germany being a well-developed nations with good sponsorships and possibilities for Counter-Strike teams. They have a very punctual approach to their team effort and play. This aids to the individual player's understanding of the game, especially the tactical aspect. In fact, Germans give a lot of thought to things, and similar to the Americans they feel an urge to communicate about the views on and aspects of the game, only on a higher level and to a higher degree. A thing that inspires the German players is that Germany has always had great tradition in having many well-developed clans to look up to. Thereby the heritage from the former great German clans still lives on in the German teams today because the German try to aspire to the same level of play, especially with focus on the teamwork and flow in the game, which has earlier been exhibited by many German clans.

Finally, a very specific thing that has helped the development of talent in Germany is the ESL leagues and ladders, which have created really serious and interactive competition in Germany and pretty much brought the country back to where is was at the end of the 1.3 version in terms having many good teams. eSport seems to be really progressing in Germany, and attracts a lot of different people, who are all really enthusiastic about the concept. There really are a lot of players for the bidding in Germany, and a fair share of those with the needed talent. The slight lack of abilities in-game such as logics, co-ordination and aim would be the only way I could explain if we do not see many more German teams prove their worth at international LANs in the next period of time.
