1. Sweden - a lineup of Jinro, Sjow, Naniwa, Morrow, Thorzain (Lalush, Bischu, Haypro) both has huge depth and starpower. 2. Ukraine - The beastly four, White-ra, Dimaga, Strelok and Kas, these names have been dropped again and again in this thread, all extremely solid players with a good mix of races. Yeah, that does look very scary indeed, but it doesn't have the much depth, are there other good Ukrainian players? 3. Germany - German efficiency, right: Socke, Hasuobs, Goody, TLO, Darkforce (Mondragon) makes for a solid, stable, always performing line-up, but lacks a bit of punch, if Germany had a real superstar like White-ra they'd be on top of my list. 4. Canada - Huk, Kiwikaki, TT1, Drewbie, Slush (Stalife, dde) is looking very good also, the three protoss all being monsters. 5. Poland - Everyone seems to forget Poland! Mana and Tarson backed by players like Nerchio and Diestar makes for a dangerous lineup, with both some starpower and solidity. 6. France - Moman, Saracens, Adelscott, Stephano seems like a light version of the Ukraine lineup, with the same solidity, but lacking some real punch 7. USA - I got stuck for a while after "Idra,", but USA has an nearly unlimited pool of upcoming talent, and could at any moment explode into being a top tier country, right now the line-up would perhaps look something like this: Idra, Qxc, Incontrol, Cruncher, which isn't looking bad, but not too hot either 8. Russia - My knowledge of the Russian scene is limited, but power players like Brat_ok and the new face Happy along with lesser known, but surely talented players out of Russia could do pretty good 9. Finland - Finland could scrape together a great, solid lineup with Namaa, Satiini and Elfi. 10. Holland - Grubby and Ret have strong backs, they could carry many lesser players and still do well. | ||

As Idra and as far as I heard Sheth say, the player level in the EU Battlenet is higher than in the US. Kind of sad, that. On a more cheerful note, I find it hilarious that most people who mention germany don´t mention TLO first, but Darkforce/Socke/Goody, probably depending on their race bias. | ||

(less taxes in addition to the fact that they're already making more on average) This is not true according to random graph on wikipedia, Sweden has one of the highest tax % in the world. The reason could honestly be many. You could just as easily argue that atheism is responsible (both Skorea and Sweden have 50%< atheists.) but its pointless as arguing why since it is simply not something you can prove. Also Poland and Finland is pretty good, I think that they may be able to compete with of the "t2" countries. | ||
