Quick Google search will tell you that there are 3,833,668 players from Russia currently registered on CS2, so why oh why don't they have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ their own server in country. Like genuinely what's the reason for not putting one in Moscow for example , not like Valve doesn't have enough money to do it and as far as I can see it's a win-win scenario I don't get matches of constant white noise and they can continue boycotting English.

[oh yeah]

Because it would be a shame if normal people could play video games without having the usual subhumans ruining everything.

Valve won't put servers in Russia due to Valve's politics and US and RF laws.

Central Russia is a part of Europe so players from the western part of Russia play in European servers, and players from eastern part of Russia play in Asian servers.

If you're not happy to play with random players you either play with your own team, move to another region (NA) or play on FaceIt instead. There won't be any other solution.

Yes, because we are the majority here, so we are setting the rules.

well another quick Google search will tell you that you only make approximately 10% of the player base

It is not, but Valve has obvious reasons not to do it, and so Valve won't do.
I am just giving some solutions, and whether you use them or not is none of my business.

We are talking about EU servers, where Russian speakers is the biggest majority. If there was only 10% of Russians, your post wouldn't exist, isn't it?

Can Russia afford to build a server?

besides any potential geopolitical issues that's preventing them to do it there's really no obvious reason why it shouldn't be done but I guess Valve is going to be Valve, and I am aware of the alternatives but it's still kind of feels like kick in the balls having to use third party software to influence matchmaking, with the considerable drawbacks mind you (ping, game stability, system performance for lower end users, ect.)

the same Google search from before will allso reveal that if approximately 10% of the player base globally is from Russia and then only Poland, Germany and Romania have bigger player base than Russia

The laws, like I said before.
According to the RF laws Valve should record and store all voice communications on the servers and the State Security Service of Russia should have the access to it if needed.
Valve is not agreed with that. It is simply a conflict of the interests on the law level.
The FaceIt does it, for example. So FaceIt has servers in Russia.

???
Romania has bigger player base than Russia?
Moscow alone has like 70% of the whole Romania population...

Also there is no way Poland or Germany could have bigger playerbase than Russia for sure.
The source you're reading is not reliable at all.

What a hypocrite. You don't want to understand, you just need to spread your intolerance towards some nations, that's all.

That is a cap, and you know it. You don't need to google anything. Just hop into the game, and you will see, that on EU servers there are mostly Russians. That what I'm talking about. When I play premier, 70% of players in the match are Russians. So we are the majority, and you should accept our rules, and learn Russian or play with premades.
