A question to the Polish players in LoL

Why do so many of you have PL in their names? I never see Danish players put DK in their names or any other country.

2 reasons.

It's called "Inferiority complex" when they want to emphasize their country. For instance, Polish would feel insulted if you would call them "Eastern European" because they think they are more advanced than the rest of Eastern Europe. So emphasizing themselves as PL they let you know they are more important than others.
Some players passively looking for other Polish players to team up.

Well about your first reason: Most polish players that put PL in their nicknames are just kids, young players. They don't know English language and they seek players that speak their language. How could kids know anything about Eastern/Western cultures? Polish players are not the only one that put this into their nickname. Czech players put CZE, Slovak players put SVK, Hungarian players put HUN, Russians put RU (if they don't write in cyrillic) and so on. They have inferiority complex as well?
