When FaceIT had functioning regional hubs, the UK one was absolutely painful to play in, and while there were always 2-3 games going on in the highest tier, it had to be opened at level 8+ because there were not enough players.
I’m no professional, but finding other Level 10+/ESEA A+, Brit/Irish players for league games was incredibly hard. I ended up playing on mixed European teams, which was a lot more enjoyable anyway, although the cavet is the exclusion of regional leagues.
British players do also tend to have a ‘protagonist’ mentality, so usually when I hear my own accent, I get a bit of an “oh no” vibe to start with.

Disgusting racism from him. I bet he feels stupid, now that he’s the one who ended up proving his racist theory wrong.

Everyone shut up, The most carried player of all time is speaking. (Not even flaming, it’s just objectively true. https://x.com/smartbackwards/status/1948813734144831771 )
Now do it with a UK team (impossible).
