The list looks pretty good to me. I think Kas and Fraer should both be a few spots higher, but overall it jibes pretty well with my opinion. Top 5 looks fine.

I think this isn't bad but you are severely underestimating huk.


lol @ all the people saying huk should be further down

he's still one of the only foreigners actually beating koreans

Another interesting list. I think most of what's here is more or less okay. I think people may disagree because they think the best player is the one who is making the biggest splash at the moment. (OMG top 3!!!11!) and they completely neglect the players that are consistently getting deep into tournaments, beating Koreans but not having any "loud" results.
You mean I just write stuff here and other people can see it?

No problems with the top 5, but the rest of the list is pretty fucked up.

Most egregious are:

all way too high.

I think a top 15 list would be better.

When you get past the top 15 the players just get lackluster and aren't very good (compared to Koreans) and aren't very relevant to the scene.

Huk? Slivko? way too high as well.

Also, no Goswser on the list is very silly.


Lastly, I'll reiterate how baffled I am by Lucifron at #7.


You say no problem with the top 5, meaning you're okay with Vortix as #3, but you seem to have a huge problem with Lucifron. Why?

Lucifron and Vortix have played each other a lot over the year and they've been nearly evenly matched. Vortix has the edge, and that's why he's #3 and Lucifron is #7. To put Lucifron any lower than top 10 would be wrong.

Ummmm where is sen?? He would be top 10, probably top 5. Top 4 finish at the blizzard world championships.

I counted 8 Patchzergs, Sen could easily replace any 7 of them, the exception being Vortix

Mark my words, by the next list, Goswser will crack top 25.

Nani should be higher, possibly as high as 2.

Vortix has smashed his brother and Koreans lately. Lucifron has done nothing

I feel like Demuslim should be a lot higher. Top 8 of NASL Season 4 is no joke.

I agree that Sen might be much better than a lot of the players on the list, but he simply doesn't get the same exposure.
I can only remember seeing him at the Asia and world championships. Really as since he is a very enjoyable Zerg to watch.

The list seems reasonable, but it always hard to make such a list.

And people will always say: "X beat Y in that tournament, X should rank higher!", or "X only played well in one tournament, so overrated!"

IMO I would rank grubby above Naniwa ATM or at least in the near future. Sure I am a Grubby fan but still. That guy just gets better and better!

Kas underrated? No lan results. Also scarlett and vortix are not overrated.

I think IdrA is probably better than a lot the patch zergs given his performance at WCS but its a fair placement given his shitty 2012 year. Lucifron and Thorzain are way to highly rated.

Gonna get hate,
but grubby is ranked to high, he is, he's not that great anymore, he's definitely not 8
He did good at HSC6 but who'd he beat? MC? he's slumping hard, it seems like he can't beat anyone recently (I still believe in the boss toss), and Maybe bling?
Then (no offense to TLO) in the second game of their set grubby lost a game he basically had won.

Grubby is way over ranked he's been doing worse for a while, and he's sub 50% in all of his matchups on TLPD, and also of his last 40 games (this doesnt have HSC6 though) he's 12 for 40, thats a 30% win rate friends, (with his wins from hsc6 he's still 42%, they're just not on the TLPD player profile yet, with two of those wins coming over heromarine [who the fuck is that])

Grubby needs to be way lower, looking at gameplay and stats he's way overranked

Suppy needs to be a bit higher, at least around 16 if you based it around tournament result in the past month as the most influential factor in your rankings. Him and Moonglade were top 5 foreigners in that event and Moonglade is not even on your list.

Xlord and Socke should much higher on list imo, Demuslim/Idra/ are too high, none of them had any decent results for a while now.

Solid list, I like it better than the first one.

The only one I am not happy with at all is TLO. Way too high imo, even if I am a fan. I would put im right around XlorD's level maybe below that. Or raise the others from the german scene because TLO is not above Monchi/Hasu/Socke by that much if at all.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
