EPT
After Red Bull Battle Grounds I felt it was appropriate to put up a power ranking. This is MY OWN opinion feel free to share your thoughts/your ownlist though.
Top 10
1.
sOs
He won WCS Global Finals and took 2nd place at Red Bull BattleGrounds his style is not solid like his counter-part Dear's style who may be more solid but results talk and ultimately he is the the best player despite losing to a reinvigoratedPartinG.
2.
Jaedong
Everything about Jaedong is strong except for the fact that he can't push himself past a 2nd place finish, regardless he is one of the very best in the world right now.

3.
Maru
An appropriate description might be "boy wonder", his micro is top notch, his tenacity is through the roof(as shown in many a series such as maru vs dear and maru vs effort)
+ Show Spoiler [Maru vs Effort] +
4.INnoVation
INnoVation might be a controversial choice for some however it's not like he's been doing terrible it's just he hasn't been winning everything, despite his "drop" in results he put up an incredible 12-2 record in the GSTL, the best record in the league, performing clutch games to win Ax-Acer the teamleague.
5.Dear
Dear has shown how good he is, now he just needs to keep up his results and he can only go higher in the rankings, the 2nd best protoss player.
6.TaeJa
TaeJa has proved he can match up against the best in the world, he may not be the most consistent at beating them but he shows he can beat them at any time, he is also a foreign tournament destroyer. He has a very high level of skill.
7.Soulkey
Soulkey was a very consistent player in terms of skills & results throughout the year, near the end of 2013 though his results have dropped off slightly still making him a top 3 zerg however, personally I like watching Soulkey's play and I expect to see him winning many a tournament in the future.
The last three spots in this power ranking are highly contested
8.Bomber
The king of inconsistency himself.... BOMBER!! Anyways Bomber has did quite well the Global Finals his skill level is very good, however Bomber has a weakness but that doesn't prevent him from being a great player, it prevents him from being TheBest.
9.Polt
Full time player, full time student Polt ranks in at #5, he posts results everywhere while still studying full time a truly amazing player, the sad thing is his results will not be consistent to do how is schooling goes, he could have exams to study for a week and drop out of a tournament or he could have minimal school and go onto win the tournament like he did with WCS AM S3.
10.PartinG
Good Ol' PartinG after a great tournament in winning Red Bull Battlegrounds defeating the likes of the 2013 WCS Global Champion sOs & his rival MC. He has come back after a stint and lack of results in 2013 what I mean by lack of results is that winning red bull is his first big premier tournament victory this year, he's won two other smaller events in Stars War League Season 3 where he 4-0ed HerO & won a stacked little tournament called The Korean WCG Qualifier, overall PartinG has slowly been climbing the ranks where he will go back to the throne of "Protoss King".

My own thoughts after writing this
Not perfect but I think this list is a good representation of the Top 10. This is mostly based off the recent 2 or so months of games.

The Dong himself no question is one of the very best and he has shown it, though we one day hope he will ascend to the Golden Dong, we have faith.
