I'd go for Sweden, a bit biased too since they're my neighbours :D
Sucks that we don't have a single one from Norway

It's really hard to argue against Sweden as #1 and Ukraine as #2. As far as the others, I'm not sure why so many people think USA > Canada, I'm a USA player myself and it's pretty clear that Canada would crush us in a nation war. We have Idra but this is about who has the best lineup, not who has the best player.

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....

Ofc he can, specially at the moment since he doesnt lose ZvP anymore like he did and is in a form with an IPL win, I mean its not like he would 4-0 them or like they can 4-0 him, they would all be hard games but he could beat them, although i do believe Naniwa would still crush him. That doesnt mean that in best of 7 he cant take a game off of him.


Who besides Select (who Idra has beaten in IPL) is comparable to the Players I named as Top10 Europeans?


Ok if i understand this:
1. U said idra cant beat top 10 europeans
2. I said that he can beat probably all except Naniwa
3. Ur asking me who besides select and idra is comparable to top 10 europeans ??? - i dont quite get where this came from tbh, bit of a stupid question to ask seeing my response in previous post.
Anyways to answer ur question: no one


I referred to the IPL win obv, that was your only proof that Idra is in shape right now as it seems. None of the players he has beaten there is on the same level as the players i mentioned in my first post?!

He maybe would have some troubles against some of the top european protoss like Naniwa but his ZvT and his ZvZ are unbeatable in a long game.

1. Sweden (Jinro, Morrow, nani, sjow, haypro, thorzain)
2. Ukraine ( Dimaga, kas, White Ra just so awesome)
3. Germany ( HasuObs, Socke, TLO, Mondragon, Darkforce )
4. North America ( rated even imo) ( IdrA, Huk, TT1, Tyler )

I'm becoming a fan of Germany, but sweden is just tearing through everything.

And just to be sure, Mondragon is from germany right?
