Forgot to put SC2 in the title but broodwar doesn't really have a foreign scene...

This ranking list is based upon my limited knowledge. I just want so see what others think about it.

It is a power rank of sorts. Listed in descending order rank 1-3, each rank can contain multiple people

I'm not going to remember every country so feel free to add any I forgot.

this is a terrible list, you say drewbie is a top player but does terrible in every event, and you even call him underrated, Minigun a top player in na? LOL its like you just made a list of people you know who are high on ladder or something.

I also feel like Grubby is underrated but on the other hand, I never see him win so I'm torn. He reminds me of nony, I really wish one of the two would start owning

If you are talking about overall global skill then Korea's list should be 10 times the size. So many players there could easily go toe-to-toe with any of the so called 'top foreigners' but they don't have the exposure to the foreigner scene because of a lack of open tournaments (Mainly because of GSL's dominance I guess) and language barriers. Of course then there's players like MVP and Nestea that hog all the glory, lol

Still, shout out to Germany, GoOdy is in TotalBossMode 24/7.

Also, Tyler is an amazing player (And human being in general) but IMO from what I've his depression has really been holding him back recently. I wish him the best of luck of course!

IS haypro overrated? The only thing ive seen him do reasonably well at is an liquid inhouse. Ive never even seen a vod or rep where i was like WOW, haypro is good.

Canada also has Slush and TT1. But I'd agree that Huk, Kiwikaki and Drewbie are our top 3.

Nice list, but I think you shouldn't put Haypro and Jinro in the list.

Naniwa, Thorzain, Sase and Morrow are all much stronger right now.

I would also pick Darkforce over TLO for Germany.

Please make suggestions of others to put in those spots otherwise your commentary is null and void.
