Judging from the Dutch guys I've met I would've guessed that you guys were number one =) Dunno why Sweden is number one... Had a Swedish girlfriend and was not impressed =p most of them had a pretty heavy Swedish - English accent :p Though I guess the same goes for most Danes I guess =) accent doesn't really have anything to do with proficiency though Yeah yeah, that's very true but it does go hand in hand quite often I feel ![]() | ||

What's up with all these Korean pros that can't speak English at all? They drop out of school to pursue a pro gaming career. Additionally, even tho most koreans understand englisch they are to shy to communicate in english | ||

Proud of our little country ![]() http://www.economist.com/blogs/johnson/2012/10/language-skills The US didn't even make the list, their proficiency in English wasn't good enough I guess.. :D . English isn't the official language (at federal level) of the US. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_the_United_States Neither did Britain or Canada or a number of other countries who you'd expect to top the list... Some part of me thinks they weren't included on purpose... Don't be so quick to country bash, you might look like a fool. | ||

Also South Korea, what? What's up with all these Korean pros that can't speak English at all? It is most likely based on a written test. Koreans are quite proficient when it comes to reading and writing. And then when they start to speak you wonder how that person possibly could have written the text you read before. | ||
