It's hard to perceive over the chants of "USA", but Canada is quietly challenging the throne for the best Dota 2 talent (at least in North America). Sure, there's no Canadian team as none of them have banded together yet, but let's consider what the current Team Canada looks like, if WCG were to take place next week:

EternalEnvy - Captain, support/ganker. Captain of No Tidehunter, which recently won Dreamhack 2012. Extreme dedication and uses math as his weapon.

1437 - Could also be captain, but as Envy just recently won a Dreamhack, I'll put him up there for now. Plays for the very hot LGD.int team, which recently won the GEST Tournament vs. LGD.cn. Would play support or the 3 spot for this team.

Jeyo - EG's mid player will also fulfill that role here. Recently his Invoker hasn't been as impressive, but his TA is still one of the very best in North America. Integral part of EG's great run to a second place at Dreamhack.

TC - The carry player for Team Canada, this beast has unconventional builds and always quietly carried out games for Fire/Complexity. Winner of The Defense 2.

PaintItGold - Also a support, but a versatile player so he could probably play the 3 spot. Has been around a while and has a lot of experience. Hasn't won anything major that I can remember, but still a very good player.

That roster is arguably a world class team just based on talent alone, but with 1437's experience and lessons in China and EternalEnvy and TC's creativity, this might be a favourite to take any country based tournament.

Hope Canada can generate some more excellent talent soon!

What's a Canada?

Canada has a lot of good quality players, but they don't have the same numbers. They'd have trouble forming a team on their own. It's kinda why most teams are mainly USA with a few canadians, or always outnumbered by Americans. In either case, most people don't care cause NA needs all the players it can get, although it is a lot better than it was in dota1.
