Again, why why Sweden? Finland, Norway and Denmark are all very simmilar countries to Sweden, where are their players? Seems like nobody knows. Its not like they got internet 10 years after sweden.
And how come Germany isnt more domimant?
Sweden is about double the population of Finland, Denmark, and Norway.

USA has like 20 more C players that will get them +20 points so US is the best non-korean esport country? sry, there is only 1 possible way to solve this problem and that is a GSTL-like tournament

I don't really agree with putting Ukraine as high up as many do. Dimaga is an amazing player but Kas/White-ra isn't really up there at the top.
I am obviously bias, but I feel Sweden is definitely second to Korea. However I'd say the second best nation is the US. IdrA/HuK/Sheth can take games off anyone in the world.

I would put US either last, or not at all. Besides IdrA, who do we have that's good and on a level with Sweden, Ukraine or Canada and Germany?

Oh cmon, coming third in WCG does't qualify you as a top player?

Kas and White-ra are much better than Sheth, and Huk is arguably Canadian.

Ptak isn't even on the chart and he won his countries (Croatia) WCG.

White-ra has the tournament results to match almost any foreigner and don't for Strelok in the Ukrainian line-up. I'm sure there was an interview where Huk said he considered himself Canadian even if he was born and raised in America. That's a debatable issue. America has a lot of good but not great players but I suspect there's players equal to them in a lot of the european countries who don't get noticed as much because of the way IEM and dreamhack work compared to MLG.

The chart that someone made, Ptak won his countries qualifiers and he isn't even on the chart. Just saying that it is flawed.

Thank god somebody knows about Orly.

If it's not put in a team league situation where HuK, IdrA, NaNiwa or Sen could just all-kill the other team and instead:
Player A of Country A vs Player A of Country B.
I would say, albeit biased: 1. Sweden, 2. Ukraine, 3. Poland 4. USA but I want to say China because of WCG but then again I want to put China much lower because of every other tournament ever. 5. -
