Sweden by far we get Jinro, Haypro, Sjow, Naniwa, MorroW, Thorzain.
I would have to say USA second with all the top players they house.
iNcontrol, IdrA,Lz, Strifecro, Axslav, Machine, Demuslim! EG Fighting!!!~~

I'd say Sweden and USA, Canada and Ukraine after.

I also consider SeleCT American, because he lives here, and is the only Korean in the world that can speak fluent english.

Probably the US, not because it has the best players, but because it has the largest population of the sc2 playing nations. You have to consider that IdrA can probably take out any non-US player, and there's plenty of other decent-ish US players to back him up.

In terms of player-skill per population, it's definately Sweden and Ukraine. Germany has to be fairly close after.

pssht sweden. Not even a question.
In order to move forward, we must rid ourselves of that which holds us back. Check out my stream and give me tips! twitch.tv/intotheskyy

Ukraine's pretty beastly.

WhiteRa, Dimaga, Strelok, Kas


Sweden's probably the winner

Morrow, Jinro, Thorzain, Naniwa, Sjow


Canada

Huk, Kiwikaki, TT1, Drewbie, lots of others

Germany

TLO, Hasuobs, Darkforce, Socke



I agree with this, although I dont know why Drewbie is mentioned with the rest of these players.

? Jinro beat IdrA, and numerous other foreigners as well.

Personally, I'd say Sweden first, then Ukraine, then USA/Canada/Germany are roughly on the same tier

So the World Cup in football shouldn´t be decided by the best players, but the nation that has the most players?
Quality>Quantity imo.

What does population have to do with anything? It's not like it's going to be the 200 best players in each country competing, you'd have to choose the 7 best or something. The US pretty much only has idra (not counting select), and I'd say Naniwa, Jinro, Thorzain are at the very least on the same level.

I'd go with Ukraine if it was a smaller tournament, like 4 players from each nation and sweden if it was 7ish.

Don't really think theres currently a player that could beat IdrA in a bo5 atm, but considering for the U.S it's basically him and (unless you count Select) a few slightly lower players (Tyler, QXC, etc)

I'd say Sweden, Ukraine, USA, Germany, Canada for a pro league format.
For winners league, USA, Sweden, Ukraine, Canada, Germany
