Now we need the same list while adding in salaries and stream revenues and you will have a different picture.

France and Poland are 99% only on the list because of Stephano and MaNa.

Still sad to see so little talent from the netherlands. We might have some people coming up, but as of right now, it´s basically just Ret and Grubby doing the work. =P

just Ret and Grubby. I know you're comparing that to a lot of Europe, but that is a pretty good 'just' to me .

It is explained in the post, but it boils down to China having tournaments in China which is mostly attended by Chinese players only. Reversely are they isolated from international competition. I think however that China is on the rise and will have climbed a bit on the list if I update it ~4-5 months.

Can we use this data to prove a correlation between average temperature and performance in StarCraft?

I imagine the cold is a reason for people to stay inside and play video games.

ive giving much thought to what creates a pro gamer in a country. these elements are needed.

dense and varied player base, euro and america have this.

great internet sweden and many of the top euro countries have this and no doubt korea.

countries that suffer are australia, new zealand, south american to some extent and obviously poorer nations that dont have a good connection. Australia suffers both bad connection and locations with a very thin player base.

korea for example is somewhat in the center of asia and hosts the sc2 servers.

when we look the OPs player/country stats we should consider other factors.

on top of that is culture which is a bit harder to pin down.
