I would LOVE a world championship that would run like how the gsl team league ran. Perhaps some kind of group play to determine seeding but then it is each country fielding a team of 6-7 players meeting up in a best of 7 with another country until one is left standing.

Sweden, Ukraine, Germany, Canada, France, South Korea and the USA in no particular order are given participants in such a tournament, one more country would be needed though for 8 teams. I just don't know enough about other sc2 countries I mean I know chinese and taiwanese and brittish sc2 players but for those countries I just know 1 or 2 names and I don't know which eight country would be able to field a full team of relatively even players.
War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

Isn't that what the WCG is for? See which nation fields the best players? We don't need another tournament, WCG is one of the most prestigious tournaments.

Foreigners have traditionally all been lumped into one big group in Starcraft, which made sense in BW because the scene was comparatively small enough that each country had at best a small handful of notable players.

But with the foreigner SC2 scene growing by leaps and bounds, a legitimate question arises:

Which foreigner nation can field the best pro lineup?


This used to be brought up on a bi-weekly basis when all we had was SC:BW. Hell, we used to have a ton of Nation Wars.

Back then super powers included everything from Germany, China, Poland, etc.

It will constantly change. I'm sure everyone is willing to say Sweden has stepped up to plate once again as the DH when in reality it could be any given Sunday. It's okay, Sweden can be the flavor of the week/month/whatever you want to call it. There are plenty of countries in the wings though.

The US has far more players in the Top 100 ELO in TLPD than Sweden. ThorZain and Naniwa are killing it right now, but MorroW is not what he used to be, and Sjow is no better than [insert random NA player here] in his current form right now.

Sheth, IdrA, Kawaiirice, Tyler, qxc, Response; but Sweden has others like Sase as well.

The real 'numbers' country is Canada, afaik they have the most players in the Top 100 ELO atm, but no real superstar.

As for my opinion, I think China, Ukraine, USA, Sweden, Canada, and Germany are the top countries.

Sweden Ukraine US/Germany/Canada...... 3rd place is just a tie when it comes to fielding a good 5 man lineup. I think people need to take MajOr more seriously when it comes to being a top player I think he soon will be considered a force to be reckoned with once he proves himself in a tourny.

depends if Select counts as American or Korean, because if you count him as American then imo US would be slightly better than Canada and better than Germany

Ukraine and Sweden for sure - they have some INSANE players.

A "nation wars" would be an awesome tournament; more so than EU vs NA :p
