Gonna have to go with Sweden as well. Especially with Jinro at his prime - yeah, Sweden takes the lead over the other countries IMO.

On the subject Naniwa, who still is a mad powerhouse in himself.

+ Show Spoiler +
But as some know, Rakaka.se just had a tournament, for the swedish top-players, with the firstprice: We send you to Korea to compete, and pay for it.

Who won?

SaSe, over Naniwa. 3-1.

Sweden has more topnotch players then those that get mentioned in this thread.


My ranking:

1. Sweden
2. Ukraine
3. Germany
4. USA
5. Canada

The hardest to place is Germany and USA, they are so close in terms of skilled players. On any given day I think anyone of those 5 countries could take the title as "worlds best". Abit biased perhaps, but Sweden might have a slight slight edge, whatever day it is.

While I doubt they've got better pro players than Korea, I've just recently gotten some more insight into the Chinese scene and they've got what it takes for sure. Right now they might very well be second in total amount of high level players, and if there'll ever be a nation which catches up with Korea, it'll probably be China.

In my opinion it sweden is top of it.
Since i play online (started with Counter-Strike) i always read about swedish players (game independent).

So for me ... SWEDEN is the biggest esport-Nation beside Korea.

This thread was created in may this year. Soon 2011 is over and I wonder if most people still think Sweden is the number 1 country outside Korea?

I guess Poland or Ukraine could be on very similar levels now?

P.S sorry for bumping but this is very interesting to me!

I don't think Poland has changed that much, I think France has got better however but I would still say it's about the same.

Hum, Ukraine could certainly give Sweden a run for their money, the same would go for China (although this is admitedly hard to judge).

Sweden -> Ukr/Pol/Fra/Chi -> Ger at the moment (imo), but I personally think the gap between Sweden and the rest is smaller than most people think.

Fra only has Stephano and ToD to a lesser extent. Sarens and Adelscott were doing quite well after the release but then they kinda went in a slump

France has just Stephano. I mean he is great, but one player does not make a good Nation.
I would say Sweden, Ukraine, Germany, USA, Canada, in this order. But I cant judge China, there might be a lot of good players we never heard of.
