I haven't seen a topic that discusses this in a while, and the season finals just finished. Rather than waiting for the official tl power rank, I'd like to start a discussion that could hopefully inspire the tl writers to come up with their power rank. (No pressure on the writers!) What is your power rank and why? It would be great to not simply list 10 names, but post why in addition to the names.   | ||

2. Sea. Really good TvZ, TvT. TvP is his weakness though and with the resurgence of a lot of skilled Protoss in the scene, I think it's a bit too much to say that he's #1 anymore. 3. by.hero. ZvP is amazing, and his ZvZ is excellent too. ZvT is pretty weak though, so he does need to work on that. 4. HiyA. Magikarp, with very solid mechanics and generally good skill in all matchups, although he's not the best in any one matchup. 5. Gonna be controversial here and put Movie at #5. When he's playing hard he trades well with any of the races, and we haven't seen enough out of Bisu/Jaehoon/JangBi to be confident yet that they're better. When they start playing in tours this may change quickly though. 6. sSak. Been performing well, but not with the greatest of final tour results. 7. Shuttle. Cusses too much to be above sSak. 8. Mong. I feel like he's been doing really well even with the return of certain pros, so the Pig Terran makes it in at 8. 9. Jaehoon. Gotta see more results before I can rank him higher. 10. Ample. Solid performing Terran, nothing special though but he does ok in tours so he gets in. | ||

Naniwa - Come on guys, this one is just obvious. 2. Polt - After winning 3-0 over some guy and that other person, Polt looks pretty unstoppable right now, and his amazing usage of banshees has guaranteed that they will be deemed overpowered and nerfed in the next patch. 3. ROOT.CatZ - It was hard to pick a number 1 and number 2 and number 3, so I'm forced to put ROOT.CatZ here even though he's doing amazing at the moment, but it's hard to see him at number two, even though number three just seems wrong. 4. TaraBabcock - I have two reasons to put at number 4: the right and the left. LOL J/K 5. Trump - He's been tearing it up in the Hearthstone scene lately, so he deserves this. 6. MMA - Mixed Martial Arts have been a bit dull lately, but maybe the GSP vs That Guy With The Beard fight will liven things up, and don't give me crap and say Diego Sanchez vs Gilbert Melendez was the best fight of all timez, because it was basically Forrest Griffin vs Stephen Bonnar 2.0. 7. David Kim - Mr. Kim has been absolutely 8. Kaitlyn - She is almost masters league, so she has earned a number eight slot here. 9. Scarlett - Sorry, Kaitlyn is better than Scarlett, and if you don't believe me, spam their twitter accounts and demand a showmatch. 10. Nick Plott - Really, he should be #1, but he hasn't been playing much lately. 11. Destiny - ... 12. Taeja - Teamliquid's best player has been playing really good and stuff and has won a lot of games and many of his wins have been victorious victories and he wins. 13. Bogus - aka Innovation aka The Eaglesmasher aka Biggles McDoodle; Bogus was on a rampage, eating buildings throughout Tokyo until the Tiger Terran's teeth and claws and visual perception were stripped from him, and now he has to fight by bucking really hard and hoping to fling some of his fleas onto his opponents so they can die a slow death by those blood-sucking parasites. 14. Life - Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Life was walking down the street the other day, and he tripped over his own shoelace and fell down. Will he be able to rise again from the sidewalk!? 15. Quantic.YuMe - Yume is unstoppable, and got D+ last night, so now he's legit and is a contender for the DRIT champion. 16. Quantic.Hawk - Professional gamer who needs team! PM him with offer. 17. Huk - Where are you, Huk!? ;-; 18. Batman - Bruce "Batman" Wayne has been on a long winning-streak, defeating all of the super-villains from all of the last 20 Batman movies. 19. Eminem - The MMLP2 better not suck, Slim, or I'm coming to your house, kicking your door down, and taking pictures of you and Dr. Dre in bed and posting them on the internet. 20. Liquid`Ret - Follow his twitter @LiquidRet | ||
