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. What does population size have to do with anything? USA has less players performing than Ukraine and Sweden. Idra can most certainly not beat any non-US player, in fact, his toughest opponents are non-us players (WhiteRa, Jinro, Naniwa to name a few). | ||

thorzain, naniwa, jinro, morrow, sjow, bischu, lalush, jimpo and many many many other very good players. Canada huk, kiwikaki, tt1 ("teeteewon" - whitera), fenix, dde, slush, stalife mabye North America/Germany. NA: Idra, moonan, sheth, tyler, kawaiirice, gositerran, etc.. Ger: TLO, hasuobs, socke, goody, darkforce, inso, mondi etc Ukraine: Whitera, kas, dimaga, strelok (, underdark, ukrainestar) The most noticeable foreign coutries. France and poland also not bad, but not that good | ||

A nice thought, but none of those players match up to the likes of Thorzain, Jinro, Morrow, Naniwa etc So yeah I'm saying Sweden, then Ukraine, then Germany, then Canada. | ||

For winners league, USA, Sweden, Ukraine, Canada, Germany 2 words: Naniwa | ||

Ukraine and Germany takes second. Then i would say USA maybe? I'm sad that nobody mentioned Poland with MaNa, Tarson, Nerchio, Diestar, Tefel, Slider, ParanOid, Dreiven but probably i'm just biased ^^ | ||

I think people tend to underestimate USA players, but still Sweden and Ukraine would dominate any format. In regards to France's team, Adelescott and Stephano are the only two that come to mind as internationally known players. | ||

Sweden is good but as of late it only seems to be naniwa performing as jinro has been hitting tough times While Kas White-ra and Dimaga are all performing | ||

Idra can most certainly not beat any non-US player, in fact, his toughest opponents are non-us players (WhiteRa, Jinro, Naniwa to name a few). Population size has quite a lot to do with it. If you were to play USA vs Sweden and keep going until one team can no longer field a decent player I'd be willing to bet that Sweden would run out of players before the USA. Sure, Sweden can probably field a better 4-5 player team, but if you kept throwing the USA GM players at them they'd eventually lose because beyond the top few players it's hard to name anybody capable of winning games at that level. It's like comparing something like USA vs Jamaica in athletics. Sure, Jamaica has the biggest superstar with Usain Bolt, but the USA has such a huge number of medal winning athletes that you just have to say that they have a better lineup overall. Of course it's all opinion and down to how you want to set restrictions. I'm simply saying that in terms of numbers of players capable of winning games, USA probably has more. If you're looking for the best 4-person team, it could be different. | ||
