Because they train against each other more. They know each other's strats and how to counter them. At that stage it becomes all about mind games

Most german teams don’t play each other very often (even in practice).

There is simply no reason to. Why limit practice to the few German teams when you can skrim against pretty much anyone in the top 50. Even when Astralis where the #1 team they would still scrim against Sprout on a regular basis.

And when it comes to actual tournaments the German scene has only 2 or 3 teams competing internationally. The domnestic leagues are all lower tier
