The korean one is basically perfect. I'm glad you didn't put MMA, because a lot of people overrate him. I might have put nada up there, but he is very inconsistent. The foreign one is also really good. Naniwa is a beast and I think he would have won TSL if he hadn't lost his composure. I might switch idra and kiwikaki personally. Finally, I might put white-ra somewhere on that list, but it seems like he plays much better when the stakes are high. Too bad for huk and jinro. They deserve to be somewhere on this. Huk went through the open bracket and made it championship bracket at mlg. His performance at GSL since getting Code A has been a little disappointing, but I have high hopes for him to get to at least ro8 next season and I think the patch will help his pvp significantly as his pvt is outstanding and his pvz is great. Jinro has been slumping, but that's what happens when you play koreans. There was an interview where they said that they feel jinro plays a lot of "old builds" and doesn't keep up with the ever changing scene as much as other players. Huk I would put around #16 on korea list and Jinro around #30. If they were on the foreigner list, Huk would be in the top 8 for sure and jinro top 15 | ||

I think that's the definition of consistancy. I agree about Huk and Jinro. HuK is considered a Korean in this OP and I don't think his achievements at MLG really push him into top10. He is a great player though, and hopefully he can post some nice wins in the super tournament. Jinro, unfortunately hasn't done anything this month to really make a run at top10 Korea. I'm sure he has been training hard and will make a splash in super tournament, though. | ||

MC used to be like this, but people are showing that a lot of his builds really weren't that safe. I think MvP, despite some upsets, has been the closest to showing that status so far in SC2. When he wins you really think the other guy was behind from start to finish, especially his TvT. | ||

I'm a huge nestea fan and I think he's the best zerg, but I think when a player starts dominating he will make stuff like that look easy, game 5 didn't only not look easy, he really should have lost that game (which makes his comeback that much more awesome).

I hate when people call MC and Nestea this because it takes away from the real Bonjwa's of BW like Flash, Jaedong, Bisu, OOv, boxer etc etc... I just think that Nestea is the best player in SC2 right now | ||

Heck, the guy's won a ton of tournaments since the start of April. I know they're not HUGE tournaments with as much prestige as others, but there's just so many of them. The finals have been people like Cloud, Tarson, Satiini, TT1, Demuslim, Beastyqt, Socke, Diestar, etc, so it's not like there was no competition either. | ||

If Nerchio is in anyone's top 10 you would not hear a peep of argument from me. Nerchio is a fantastic player and is solidly in the top 15 outside Korea. For him to crack my top 10 he needs a couple more signature wins. He beat morrow recently which is huge, but I would like to see a couple more victories over headlining players. Also, and I know this is my own personal flaw, I have only seen the guy play like twice. It was hard for me to judge his talent and rank him highly because of his lack of big exposure. Thanks for your feedback  | ||

Other than that I really don't complain. almost every fan made PR has been utter crap so far so this was pretty refreshing. Thank you so much. Yeah I kinda tried to follow the format where Flamewheel has Hydra ranked around 6 even after he won the MSL because he wasn't proven enough to go into the top 4. Thorzain clearly is an absolute monster but I cant put him above people that are showing similar results everywhere not just in TSL.

however i have been keeping up with the big names, personally i would have bumped the top 5 koreans up by 1 spot and put mc down at #5 and my top top 3 foreigners would have been 1.thorzain(after his tsl performance) 2.naniwa 3.select(after his performance vs kiwi in the bo7 showmatch they played) 4/5/6 toss up between kiwi idra sen(woulda been determined by tournament results, i have sen up high because of his perfomances in team matchs and his win over idra in nasl) and i would have had nerchio somewhere in the top 10 after his recent performances(i woulda bumped either dimaga/strelok out depending on who had a better month tournament-wse) pretty sure that we can agree that dgr/mma deserve a spot in next months rankings : ) | ||

He's still a monster and is only losing to all-ins because people prepare so well for him. | ||
