EPT- Morrow, Jinro, Thorzain, Naniwa, Sjow
2. Ukraine
- Dimaga, WhiteRa, Kas, Strelok, (couple of others)
3. Germany
- Socke, HasuObs, TLO, Goody, Darkforce
Well that would be my top 3, followed by Canada and USA...

Something like the Clanbase nations cup back in 2004: http://clanbase.ggl.com/news_league.php?&lid=1431 The best german brood war team ever won the cup: Mondragon, Fisheye, Breakdown, Socke, OgerDaniel, Infinity, Cope etc. | ||

But i dont think those are as good as a lot of other countries I restricted myself to French players playing in Europe, but yes, if you count Fr in Korea, Karn and maybe Soju could also be strong assets to a team. Aures could be considered as well if making an «Fr team». France is to underrated in the international scene... Hasu, Tarson, and Strelok came to the Gamers Assembly (biggest French LAN), the finals where Adel VS Aures. By no mean I'm trying to say «France is the best European country in SC2», but it sure is completly underrated. I myself have discovered the French scene only recently and the least I can say is that I've been quite impressed. | ||

Is Sheth American? incontrol, painuser, qxc and tyler arent rly the biggest names compared to swedens (Sjow, Morrow, Naniwa, Thorzain, Jinro) or ukraines (strelok, Kas, Whitera, Dimaga) top 5. If you compare them to germany(Socke, Hasu, Darkforce, TLO, Goody, Mondragon) or canada (Kiwikaki, Huk, Drewbie, Slush, TT1) they are much more closer though yet I (and obviously many other ppl as well) would rate them slightly below those 2 countries. All in all the US has a lot of decent players, but only few top players, which is why many ppl would expect them to lose in a tournemant against the other big nations since only the top 5 or so players get to play. Also there should be an ENC this summer, so there will at least be a tourney for the european nations. | ||

Dimaga has beaten Nestea in zvz, Kas is showing consistent results, and Strelok must not be forgotten! | ||

Sweden already pretty scary. Ukraine scary as well. USA has some great players, should do way better though imo. Canada looking solid, always up there at MLG at least. Germany solid as always. France getting there. Russia not enough info BRAT_OK scary though. China potential powerhouse. | ||

Sweden always does well in E-sports because you can be a pro-gamer and have a nice living. | ||

Kas and strelok are good but not on the same level as naniwa/thorzain/whitera etc | ||

I agree that it will need some time to really rate the chinese players. But i think they have great potential especially for the fact that eSports in China is getting pretty big as far as i've heard... | ||

If we want e-sport to become as big as possible we need as much rivalry and competition as possible. The flag in front of each player brings a lot of feelings into the game. Korea vs Foreigner East vs West Europe vs America USA vs Canada My country vs Another country There are a lot of sports I never watch and don't really care about unless Sweden plays because it automaticly gives me a team to root for. Btw, my top list of non korean countries: 1) Sweden (yes, I am probably biased ^_^) 2) Ukraine 3) Germany 4) USA 5) Canada | ||
