Would love to see a world cup of Sweden (best imo), Ukraine, Germany, USA, and Canada. Could probably add a few more 'underdog' countries in as well to make things interesting. That's the tournament I want to see!

Sweden is the best country in the world. And thus in starcraft 2 aswell.

This is quite a feat, knowing he won 4 out of the 5 last Go4SC2... He is #7 on the international TLPD.

I never said France was the first, it obviously is Sweden, but it certainly is in the top 5. More than Ukraine or Canada at least.

The obvious are Sweden, Germany, Ukraine, Canada and USA

Outsiders includes France and Poland.
However I would say certain countries are strong outsiders:
Russia: Brat_ok, Aristeo, Cubert, Happy and scooter + many more. With a 2v2 in the format they have a freewin.
Holland: Ret, Grubby, Servant and others. A huge potential.
China and Taiwan sounds to do very well also!

First time ever I think the US is being considered underrated.

Idra, InControl, PainUser, Liquid Tyler, QXC ... these are good players. Is Sheth American?

Nobody thinks France is quite up there ?

Adelscott, Stephano, Moman, Song, Sarens would make quite an ace team...

Carn too right? But i dont think those are as good as a lot of other countries

Does anyone have an idea where China stands? They had some sick Broodwar players (F91, Lx, Pj...), but were very much separated from the rest of the world, so it was hard to compare them internationally.
Also, where are all the players from Poland and Russia? They had lots of talented Broodwar players as well (Dreiven, ParanOid, MistrZZZ / Androide, Advokate etc.), but you don't hear much of them in Starcraft 2.

It's all in good fun. Would be cool to see a real world team tournament, with players divided up by country. I wonder how well a 5-man Ukraine team would do against Korea ...
