Published by Statista Research Department, Dec 10, 2024

A total of 781 Russian players competed in professional e-sports tournaments over the course of 2024, down from 967 in the previous year. In 2022, the number decreased because Russian players were suspended from several e-sports competitions over the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The e-sports discipline with the most professional players in Russia was Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO).
