Poland have two top foreigners but almost no depth. Germany can put out a good 10 players.
Poland has Mana, Nerchio, Diestar, Romson, Tefel, Tarson. 15 guys in GM  We are really good but some on those guys are not that known. Well Germany is really good either, but I feel it's really hard to tell which country has better lineup

1.Korea
2.Sweden(Nani,Morrow,Thorzain,SjoW)
3.Ukr(White-Ra,Kas,Strelok,Dima)
4.Ger(Socke,Hasu,DF,Goody...)
5.PolandNerchio Tarson and Mana)

mmhh i would do it that way:
1st Tier: Sweden, Ukraine
2nd Tier: Canada, Germany, Poland, France
3rd Tier: USA, Russia, Netherlands
4th Tier: Italy (Cloud), Belgium (Feast, the IEM Kiev underdog), Finland (Naama), UK (Demuslim) and probably some countries i forgot the players from....
No real order in any of these....maybe USA at the top of the 3rd tier
|
1) Korea
2) Sweden, Ukraine
3) Canada, Germany, France, USA
4) Poland
5) Everyone else.

Fun fact: pretty much all of Germany's up and coming players are Terrans lol. Just realized that we have like 20 players in GM.
Ukraine/Sweden is undeniably at the top though.
|
Let's not forget China.
I would put Sweden, Ukraine and China on the 2nd tier, first tier being Korea. Xigua had a very strong performance at WCG, I am curious to see if Macsed and Xigua can survive in Code A, something most foreigners have not been able to do.

I noticed this aswell O_O But oh well, better only terrans than no terrans, no toss and no zerg :D
And I have to agree, Sweden/Ukraine is definetly miles ahead of the rest of the foreign world.
( I wouldn't count HuK as he basically lives in Korea )
Personally I'd find it awesome if Grubby would get more exposure to the international scene. Since he's on his own team he won't ever compete in team leagues or hardly ever on sponsored showmatches. Pretty sad imho.

Well... Lau lost badly to TaKe, so I'm not too sure of his level of play :D

Sweden, Ukraine, Germany, slightly behind those are probably USA, France, Poland, Canada
---
Sweden so scary with NaNiWa, SaSe, ThorZaiN, MorroW, Jinro, Sjow, HayprO, Bischu, merz, Cytoplasm, Seiplo, LaLush, Naugrim, Jimpo
Ukraine scary as well but not that many players than Sweden: White-ra, DIMAGA, Strelok, Kas, Bly, HappyZerg, ALF
Germany pretty solid with Socke, HasuObs, DarKFoRcE, TLO, GoOdy, Delphi, Xlord (Mondragon)

Didn't a lot of players turn that down? Or maybe I'm confusing it with some other nation esque war competition.

Sweden, as everybody said.
