just to see if I have the same opinion as TL guys :p

1.) Innovation
2.) Soulkey
3.) Rain
4.) Bomber
5.) Maru
6.) Hyun
7.) Flash
8.) sOs
9.) First
10.) Jaedong, I guess? O_o or maybe Trap as he is the only player on STX who hasn't lost a map in playoffs? Classic was more convincing though. maybe HerO (but he also failed in WCS AM and didnt win anything as opposed to Hyun)? Or Life as he plays pretty good again? There is really no one standing out right now, so no idea really.

EDIT: Updated to reflect OSL Ro4 Day 2 results.

I think Maru should be a little lower, all he's done is blaze through this OSL with not much else in the recent months.

TL guys? The column is written by one person as it always was.

Mvp deserves to be in there! Especially after the thrashing he's going to display in WCS EU Ro16!

I am pretty sure monk has stressed numerous times it is a collaboration between a lot of TL staff

Even if he does, thats in August. In July, he played grand total of 3 matches and lost them all.

Innovation
Bomber
Rain
Soulkey
Maru
First
Flash
sOs
Mvp
Polt

If Maru wins OSL he jumps to second.

If Bomber wins OSL he jumps to first.

If Rain wins OSL he jumps to second.

If Mvp wins WCS EU again he jumps to fifth.

Power rank with so few g ames played will be hard, but probably a lot less biased. Jaedong would definitely get a spot if he just had the luck to avoid P.

This sounds pretty good, but more like how your PR would look like, than predicting how the PR will look like.

A prediction should go more into the direction of:

1. Innovation (to make it look objective)
2. Flash (inofficial first place)
3. Soulkey (thank god that he got stomped, so that Flash can finally take second)
4. Rain (a guy with the potential to beat Flash)
5. hyvaa (got beaten twice by Flash recently, needs to be ranked high to show how awesome Flash is)
6. Bomber (because it's just too hard to dismiss him - even though he is eSF - after beating Flash. also he got 2nd hat Ritmix and could win OSL, as minor toppings on the Ice)
7. Effort (another guy who was beaten by Flash recently)
8. Maru (noone cares for 8th places, an opening to bring on a non-Flashrelated guys)
9. sOs (gotta keep that Kespa-ratio high, to show how much more awesome PL and Flash are)
10. Mvp (he beat Flash. In BW!!!)
