@DETHTRON Only the data for the last 2 years will not be relevant as many Russian players have started using VPNs

@DETHTRON There's no easy way to look at this, because we don't store the country of origin anywhere.
I could do some IP lookup stuff, but like Skrat said many Russians will be falsely identified as members of other countries due to VPN use. Similarly we have a number of Chinese players who all use VPNs.More recent stats here, why the way.

You can approximate many of them by parsing game chat from replays. Few words in a relevant language will be enough to label player with a 90-95% certainty.
It's possible but it will take a few more tricks like this just to discover one demographic group.

@Sainse I disagree. Many players do not write a single word in the chat during the entire game + many players write in English, even when it is not their native language. I've played a lot of games where 7 out of 8 players were from Russia, but they still wrote in English.
