One theory, raised by Broomall, who coaches TSM in North America, is that the disparity between the two scenes can be explained by the regions' respective "Counter-Strike" scenes.

In Europe, however, "Counter-Strike" tournaments happen on a regular basis; a bounty of mid- and high-level organizations make it a hospitable environment for players. In North America, talented players who didn't have a shot in "Counter-Strike" made the jump to "Valorant," where they faced tons of other talented but unrecognized pros. In Europe, however, professionals had few incentives to leave the warm bosom of "Counter-Strike."
