So i once again decided to bring back my foreigner ranking. This time, it will only cover the Top 16 western foreigners (excluding china, taiwan).
I also changed the math a lot to make it more subjective, and added a little twist to it, putting them into a single elimination bracket to see how it would look.
Once again no comments on the ranking itself, thats up to you 
___________________________________________
The math:
aligulac gives every player points for his wins or losses and ranks them. It is widely known and accepted to be of value.
1/3 of the ranking is based on it.
WCS points are given away at every important tournament. To many people, they are what matters in the end.
1/3 of the ranking is based on it.
My subjective ranking is still a factor.
1/3 of the ranking is based on it.
The maximum reachable points is 3000 for first place in all 3 rankings [of all the available competitors] (1000+1000+1000). rank 10 in all 3 rankings would give you 2100 points (700+700+700). The lower the ranks get, the smaller the point differences between them become.

How would a tournament look?![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/RdVRrgn.png) ------------- Thanks for reading! -------------- DiaBoLuS

HuK should be higher...he's playing extremely well lately
|
Nice ranking! Couple things I would slightly change but in general it's a pretty accurate list. I like how you used the three ranking criteria. Using an average of the three scores and ranking players from lowest to highest values would work, but with the rapid fluctuation of Aligulac ranking I guess giving the subjective score more value is a smart move
|
mmh, scarlett probably too high, atleast until she adjusted to the patch.
nice ranking
|
I'd put Snute at 1 and Scarlett at 2, but other than that I cannot object.

Scarlett is definitely too high, Snute and Bunny have both shown recently that they are able to compete with koreans pretty well while Scarlett hasn't.
|

|
Americans in general have been placed too high in my opinion
Also Showtime is still heavily underrated
|
The differences from a hypothetical power ranking of mine:
- I would swap Dayshi with majOr
- Top 4 is the same as mine
- Showtime in a lower position, and I would rather put uThermal or Suppy.

I can't really think of any recent Welmu games for some reason so he seems too high for me. I would probably push Dayshi ahead of him and also swap Scarlett and Snute. Seems like a pretty solid ranking though. Always enjoyed these.

I love how after Major, almost every player is polled as being "too high"
|

thats standard for these rankings
|
The main change I would make is swapping Scarlett and Snute. I might also consider placing HuK a rank or 2 higher, but I'm not as sure about that.

|
I think Neeb deserves a spot considering hes been taking games off high level koreans like Taeja Polt Revival Arthur and Check
|
The poll should read "Too damn high"

Also, this. Everyone is too damn high on the list.

where is harstem, Starbuck, sjaak?
|
Top 5 seems solid, I wouldn't be able to argue that even if I wanted to
|
I felt that without any explanation, the power rank felt really... bland
|
Love the rankings; thanks.
HuK is too low.

I could see an argument for the first two more than sjaak. Since beating Axiom, Sjaak has gone 9-17 with losses to Methix, Strange, and Indy among others
|
Targa should be in there, heromarine shouldnt be.
Showtime should be higher, happy a bit lower and I think lilbow should be in there. Not sure who he should replace though
|

I could see 12-16 being interchangeable with Harstem and Starbuck, but not so much for sjaak. He still has to prove himself more than just an All-Kill of Axiom and cheesing through a DH.
|
Scarlett... I really don't know about that hair...
Major should be higher, state should be in top 10, maybe haarstem too. showtime and heromarine don't belong on there at all.
|
Nerchio too low! Rest is looking good  . I love those rankings, haven't seen one in a while.

I agree with HeroMarine, but Showtime is really, really good.
|
I would love to hear why voters think Welmu is too high. I think he is too low!
But again this proves that he is the best foreign protoss 
|
I have to agree that starbuck should without a doubt be on the list
*Oh, and snute is an obvious 1.
|
Huk is way too low, and Scarlett on 1st.. is just fricking BS.
|
All the Team Liquid Fanboys on the liquid forums, watcha gonna do x-D
|
|
|
I'd put Major at #2, between Scarlett and Snute, and switch Dayshi with Vortix. Otherwise, nothing's too glaringly problematic.
|
That bracket would make for a pretty sick TSL5....just sayin'...

DON'T MENTION THE WAR!
just kidding...damn, a TSL really would be awesome. I miss those days.

teamliquid occupying so much space on that list. That is pretty cool how well teamliquid is still doing considering it is one of the oldest teams and how often I see old teams die off.

Good list! I would have Snute 1 and Scarlett 2, switched Nerchio and Happy, and had Harstem and maybe TargA instead of Heromarine and Showtime. But good ranking!
