Tournament success is no longer the end all be all guys, I'd rate sponmatches a lot more than most online tournaments.

And sea isn't playing with the fire that he used to have anymore

I think we still see more strategic play in online tournaments compared to the usual "another macro fest on FS" non-tournament play. And Sea still placed 3rd-4th in ASL without having an easy road, despite his recent online mediocre play.

Other than that I would expect Zero for #4/3 had he participated

I actually disagree with a lot on this list to the point I think this is just a list after the first 6 and not a ranking.

* by,hero has had terrible results for almost two years, but is put above Mind who has performed better.
*Soulkey, Jaedong, and Rain at 9, 10, & 11 is a HUGE insult to players that have actually earned results over the past several years. They need to all move down at least 4 spots. And how can we rank Soulkey so high without anything solid to back this up. Rain at least did well in the Thrill Starleague and Jaedong in GIGA.
* Sea has dominated for 5 years now and had great tournament results (see online tournaments) yet is behind players who have no results
* Free has had some of the best results as protoss second to only Bisu and Eyewater and owns some of the best PvT still. The fact that he is behind Rain is just wrong.
* Stork is above Movie and BeSt even though Movie still randomly takes great results out of nowhere and BeSt had proven over the past year he's a pretty strong protoss too. Stork's giga matches prove nothing
* Mong was at his best in 2014-2015 with decent results in 2016 yet we just tossed him down the stairs lol

Here's my power rank. I'd say the top 3 are interchangeable, but this captures their ranks more closely.
+ Show Spoiler +
1. Last
2. Bisu
3. Flash
4. eyewater
5. effort
6. Mind
7. free
8. Sharp
9. Sea
10. Best
11. hero
12. Jaedong
13. Rain
14. Mong
15. Movie
16. larva
17. Soulkey
18. Light
19. Guemchi
20. Rush
21. Stork
22. Iris
23. Miso
24. Terror
25. Ample
26. Hint
27. force
28. By.maru



This is way off. Last recently went into shadows to improve his game after getting shat by 3 top zergs. Bisu has been sucking and has a losing record vs zergs. His winrate recently dipped below 50%. Effort has 63% win rate but that's VS players like bisu flash last included(70-80 games). I'd say top three are Flash, Effort, and By.Hero

Bisu is nr 1 in my book. I have seen too many lackluster games from Flash.

Enjoyed so much but disagree with 9th and 10th spots: JD and Soulkey are really freash to scene. I wanted to see Sea on those spots due to online king got really far last season and lost his ticket into finals on really close TvT. Also 11th place for Rain who never played on real post KeSPa stage but 14th for Free who always passes ro32, mostly gets to ro8? I will put him just below Mind - 9th spot. In other hand of course it's a good idea to put fresh players bit above to hype them up.
EDIT: Look above what BisuDagger said, 100% agree with him.

We need a carrier map for Stork to get him into finals. Wanna really see Movie going far this tournament. Mong needs to focus more on his game instead of running other jobs from what I heard to gain his form. Iris qualified for SSL11 but knocked out by Olympus, like his id says "30yearsold" he's bit old to compete with current pro's but I don't wanna count him out. Ah, poor Terror, got into group with God after so much effort to pass pleminiaries. I'm expecting so much from G-shizzle and BeSt. Larva fighting too! By.Maru looks like copy of SC2 expro Squirtle.

Damn I forgot Sea placed quite well in the last ASL and only lost to the eventual runner-up. My bad.

Still, sponmatches matter a great deal more these days imho.

Just from seeing Flash's tournament games, I definitely don't think he should be #1. Can't wait for ASL though, I hope Jaedong does good, but we'll see!
When I think of something else, something will go here

How can Stork beat out Larva who crushes nerds on his stream and has a high Fish win rate?

People in this thread don't realize that because there isn't a proleague, there's a lot of off-time between larger tournaments which means we look at some on-line tournaments and use their sponmatches as a good base for where players are. A player like Hero who went 4-4 against the best TvZ in the world is why he's being ranked higher than expected.
