many people dont know this about sweden, but the only thing swedish bikinigirls get off on is gamers... naturally we feel compelled to be the best for this very reason.

There's only 1 way to settle this. Every country sends out 5 representatives and do a team elimination tournament. Or... everybody wears a flag and the next big tournament can do the whole anthem thing w/ medal presentations, olympics style.

Dunno why Canadians have always been good at SC while Americans, compared to how many people live there, are not... Even in BW, Grrrr..., Smuft, Yosh, Testie etc... were usually better than any American around at the time. Only one I can think of that compares to guys like that is FroZ and I suppose IdrA after the old school stopped playing. Americans have typically been better at FPS games.

Even now, HuK is probably the best player in North America (though I guess the upcoming IEM will decide that).

Part of it is that it's easier in some of those countries to spend all your time gaming.

I've been told by my Swedish and German friends before that some people in said countries only work every other year, live off of welfare programs on the off-years, and spend that time playing WoW and other games.

TLO quit college in order to play Starcraft. From an Americans perspective, that seems crazy as hell to do, especially before you get some sort of pro contract. In order to make a living off of starcraft you'd have to be winning a major tournament every month here, and even that might only barely pay the bills.

But in Germany I think it's possible to actually do that.

Don't want to turn this into a political discussion btw, just sayin'


It's the same in Germany... not doing anything a year looks horrible in the résumé.


Who said that he actually quit?
You can take a year off and continue afterwards. (Yes, German "College" makes it possible)
So he might simply "pause" college.
That way, it simply takes a year longer to complete his school instead of having a year "not doing anything".
Just to clarify

OP didnt do any research. SeleCT and HuK basically fight for #1 on a consistent basis. And then there are a crazy amount of other great players often in the top 20s from the US.

Come on dude, get on the ball and actually think
We were all raised on televion that made us believe we'd all be Millionairs, Movie gods, and Rockstars..... But we won't.... We are slowly learning that fact. And we are very, very pissed off.

Not the first game Sweden is in top of.
Just look at who dominated most of the CS1.5/1.6 scene.


Yes but that one was due to how far ahead they were in terms of internet, swedish players could practice way way better than most of the players from other countries, so they ended way ahead of the majority of the rest. The weather there also played a big role, when it's that cold you don't go out as often as when you're living in morocco for example

Actually, We Chinese could only feel about that but it is hard to explain the rules on these games to you guys.
But I can list some limitations. For example, every games should be carefully checked that whethers it is suitable in China or not. Usually it takes about 3 monthes or even longer.

IEM 1.: MorroW (EUR)
IEM 2.: IdrA (US|KR)
IEM 3. & 4.: Tarson & Diamaga (EUR)

To note:
- The Winner of the MLG (HuK) didn't survive the group stage.
- GSL Ro64 Player (Artosis) didn't survive the group stage.
- A lot of European Players at the tournament.






Why do people bash Huk for not making it out of group stage in IEM it's the dudes FIRST LAN event the guy was nervous as shit.
