Eh kinda. We have some awesome players, but Sweden's entire lineup is pretty amazing, along with Ukraine's.

US got tons of player but do they have any really good ones? Idra and Select then what?

Edit: Wait Select is Korean

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.


The thread says which non Korean nation has the best pro lineup, not who has more ppl in top 100 elo, no one cares about who has more players, ppl care about who has better players.
Saying that Sjow who is the most accomplished player outside of Korea is not better than random NA player is a HUGE insult, sure he might not be in a form as Naniwa or Idra atm but he can easily 3-0 any other US player u just mentioned.

Sweden is obviously the best country if you except Korea, they really can win whether it's th GSTL format or the EGMCS'

I'm a bit surprised by people giving so much credit to Canada, don't get me wrong they have good players, but I think their top players against top players from EU countries would just get killed, and what I saw yesterday with mouz killing ROOT tends to go in my direction

I think the lots of bo3 we'll get thanks to the EGMCS which might give us a better answer to "who is ahead?" (although Ukraine will not be too much in the spotlight as Dimaga, Kas and Ra are not in the invited teams)

Hmmm, there are alot of GOOD strong players in China we havent really seen, BUT i still think the Germans could pull a few suprises if there ever was a big gaming world cup type tournament! Hope there is one coming up! Would be awesome, but i guess its hard unless you make it in like 6-8months in advanced so your not bumping into every other tournament that is going on! Be nice though.

P.S Id love to see England -_- but with only 1 true top player in DeMuslim its pretty unlikely we would do any good ;(

Dignitas has 3 Brit players including Bling and Apollo. Bling has potential, but he's still pretty new to the pro-scene. Demuslim is our one true hope at the moment. Can't wait to see him ripping faces off at Columbo.

As far as population goes you can compare U.S. to Europe and Europe >>>> U.S.
Sweden is without a doubt the best SC2 country outside of Korea. Then Ukraine with White-Ra, Dimaga, Kas, Strelok. I Mean look at Streloks recent games, this guy barely loses anything and his Ladder record is insane. Plus EU Ladder has a better skill level than U.S.'s.
5 best swedes vs. 5 best of Ukraine could go either way at the moment, tho Thorzain and Nani would probably win their matches.

Btw. don't understand why Idra is always hyped so much by Americans, don't think he could beat any of the Top10 europeans at the moment, e.g. Nani, Thorzain, Strelok, Dimaga, morrow, Sjow, Hasu....
