Sweden and Ukraine by quality of players, and USA/Canada split the 3rd place.

U.S. and Sweden maybe

U.S. probably just because of the huge population making up for the lack of overall interest in esports (comparatively).

Sweden probably because of the great interest in esports.

Just a guess, not scientific or anything :p. A team tournament done by nations would be pretty awesome, though. Our only little world cup.

It's those long cold winters when it's just too cold to go outside, so you stay at home playing games all day/night. That's my theory at least.

Well first one that jumped into my mind was Ukraine and Sweden.

But I think everyone has said it before, but USA has some good players, but the two above have the most beastly.

Sweden is by far the best.

Ukraine is second and third would be Canada.

Ukraine: 45 mill people

I'd say Sweden, Ukraine, USA, Germany, Canada for a (T)PrO league format.
For winners league, USA, Sweden, Ukraine, Canada, Germany


2 words:
Naniwa



Thats ONE word.


Since when was NaNiwa a word?

Sweden has a strong overall Line up
(T)SjoW
(T)Jinro
(T)ThorZaIN
(Z)MorroW
(P)NaNiwa

But I'm certain that in a winners league format Ukraine would rip them to shreds, every player is a beast ;D

Naniwa is two words in japanese, nani and wa

On topic: I guess Canada, Ukraine and Sweden are the top 3 countrys outside of Korea, then fourth it's tied between USA and Germany!

I'll just quote myself from the last thread where someone wanted to hear how good Sweden is

"I have to admit that Sweden both has many star players and a big player pool and thus is the #1 foreign country.
Second would be Germany (very large player pool and some solid pros) and Ukraine (rather small player pool but have 1 of the best players in the world for every race plus Strelok).
Then it's US and Canada who both have their stars and a good player pool as well.
Then countries like France, Russia, Poland and maybe Netherlands and Finland who all could have a very solid national team.

At this point we don't know much about China and Taiwan tho."
