I think the Netherlands have quite a bit, at least more than they've been mentioned in the rest of the thread... but not more than Sweden...

1)Sweden for sure: Thorzain, nani and jinro. No Sase morrow and the others aren't that great.

3) Canada: HuK, combatex, HairZerg(firezerg)
something high)France: definitely not. You have stephano kbye


LOL, so Adelscott, ToD, MoMaN, Aures, KenZy, Sarens is worse then Combat-Ex and HairZerg (I heard that nick the first time ever on TL...) ?

I do not think so, buddy. France is on par, if not better then Canada.

For Canada you can make a good team too:
HuK, Kiwikaki, TT1, Drewbie, JF (does he still play some?)

I think it would be close in an all-kill format Canada vs France. Pretty even:

HuK =< Stephano
Kiwikaki = ToD
TT1 >= Sarens
Drewbie >= MoMaN
JF = Aures/KenZy

Imho.

My top 10 (with 5 players each):

1) Sweden (Naniwa, SaSe, Morrow, ThorZaiN, (Sjow/Bischu/Jimpo/JinrO/merZ one of these) )
2) Ukraine (White-Ra, Kas, DIMAGA, Strelok, (Bly/Alf/HappyZerg) )
3) Poland (MaNa, Nerchio, Tarson, Diestar, Tefel/ParanOid/Slider)
4) France (Stephano, ToD, Sarens, MoMaN, KenZy)
5) Canada (HuK, TT1, Drewbie, Kiwikaki, JF)
6) Germany (Socke, HasuObs, DarKForCe, GoOdy, Delphi/Mondragon/XlorD/RINE)
7) USA (IdrA, Sheth, qxc, Attero, Gatored)
8) BeNeLux (Grubby, Ret, Feast, DabOo, Orly)
9) Finland (Naama, Satinii, Fuzer, elfi, SeiN)
10) Russia (Brat_OK, TitaN, Aristeo, slivko , Abver/VERDI/Roll/Ho8ot)

Rank 8-10 is really close tho.


Attero is Canadian -____-



I'd put US above Germany. To me Canada and the US are a wash. Aside from an elite player or two, the rest of their rosters are filled out with solid, but not great players.


What?
Did you even look half of what you said up?

Did HuK represent canada because he wanted to, or because that is where an available spot was? It's his decision to pick whatever country he would want to represent.

1. Sweden / Ukraine
3. Germany / Poland / Russia
6. Canada
7. USA / a lot of other Countries (I only see IdrA who is outstanding and the rest of the American players could be beaten by any other top player of other nations that I haven't mentioned: France, Netherlands, Norway and so on just as examples)

I actually think that China is nr 1, but they are quite unknown as off yet.

Apart from China I have to go with Sweden, just because we have more top players than Ukraine.

Naniwa, Thorzain, Jinro, SaSe, Morrow, Sjow, Haypro are the big ones I guess...

Sweden and Ukraine, hands down. Although Sweden is the best in the world, they could trash Korea ez. Banjo all-kill from the start.

Sweden probably with powerhouses like Naniwa, and ThorZain, but I would place Ukraine as a close second.

Yeah, USA is pretty low. I think back in the old BW days you could make a case for the US (Tyler, IdrA, Artosis, and I'm assuming a few others) but I wasn't around then so I don't even know if our lineup was strong then

Sweden is a slump right now , so Ukraine first right now (IEM) I hope MorroW ThorZaIN and nAni can step up their game

EDIT: You guys forgetting about poland, i think 3rd place: MaNa, Nerchio, Tarson (inconsistent but good)

USA wasn't bad in broodwar but it was never amazing either (at least not when I played and I stopped in 2006)
