THThe MongolZKleverr.gg is built for fans, players, and teams in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. Global CS2 is covered — but the Baltic scene is never treated as a footnote.
The Kleverr Koeficients is our proprietary rating system. We don't license HLTV's data or FACEIT's API as a black box — we compute our own metrics, so we can explain every number.
Match reports, player profiles, and news are written by human journalists who follow the Baltic scene. We do not auto-generate content.
INTRODUCE
E-sports (electronic sports) refers to organised, competitive video game play at a professional or semi-professional level. Unlike casual gaming, esports follows the structure of traditional sports: teams, leagues, seasons, standings, coaches, analysts, and dedicated venues.
The most popular disciplines globally are Counter-Strike 2 (CS2), Valorant, Dota 2, League of Legends, and EA Sports FC. In the Baltics, CS2 dominates — it has the deepest amateur infrastructure and the longest history of organised competition in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.
Professional CS2 is played at a global level through events such as the Valve Majors, BLAST Premier, and the ESL Pro League. The Baltic scene feeds directly into this ecosystem through amateur leagues, FACEIT matchmaking ladders, and open qualifiers.
