Effort is a known choker now and definitely over the hump. idk anyone could go in that 10th place and no one would be satisfied. I based it off overall performance in that last KSL mostly :/


Then why is Larva #6 when he couldn't even qualify for KSL? Online EffOrt has been the best performing Zerg (by far) prior to ASL 6, he's also a proven offline vet (OSL/SSL champion etc.).

When you have a championship calibre player performing extremely well online putting him in the top 10 of a PR is pretty much a no brainer.. instead Horang2 is #10?

FlaSh's sponbbang winrate vs zergs since last month:

김정우 3:3 김민철 17:3 임홍규 10:3 이제동 5:2 김성대 3:0 배병우 1:0

3-3 vs EffOrt, 17-3 vs SK, 10-3 vs Larva, 5-2 vs JD, 3-0 vs Action

EffOrt's sponbbang WR since last month:
4 김정우 Z 96 65 31 67.7% 1255.7
4th in overall ELO // 65-31 // 67.7% WR // 1255.7 ELO

So yea.. i doubt the highest ELO zerg is "over the hump". On top of that EffOrt is playing tough opponents in his sponbbang matches, unlike Light (who's also high in ELO but he's pretty much farming low tier players).
ab = tl(i) + tl(pc), the grand answer to every tl.net debate

Its nice to have those past 2 Power Ranks in august/september, but i really hoped for an extended september version which would include all ASL participants :/

Btw after Horang2 (who would be #9, cause Larva doesnt participate in ASL) i would rank the remaining participants like this (if anyone mind to discuss the lower ranked players as well):

Effort (10) --> Shuttle (11) --> Action (12) --> Mind (13) --> Light (14) --> Mong (15) --> Stork (16) --> Sharp (17) --> Miso (18) --> Sea (19) --> Shine (20) --> Movie (21) --> Killer (22) --> Rush (23)--> Guemchi (24) --> Calm (25) --> Sacsri (26) --> Yerim2 (27) --> Eros_Byul (28)



I would rank Effort then to #9, he has been very impressive online, when Horang2 seems still struggle too much against zerg. And Mind has been looking horrible either way, streaming PUGB more than bw ☹️. I am pretty sure, that nowdays even Sea is playing better than Mind...

Does this list mean that Horang2 will win the next International?
If it ain't Dutch, it ain't Park Yeong Min - CJ fighting!

Good ranking! I think Last absolutely deserves his spot; beating Soulkey in a TvZ is no easy feat. And most importantly, the top 2 spots are reserved for the right people

Koreans consider him to have the worst muta micro out of all zerg progamers, I think it was Lemmata who mentioned this recently.

nice list. For me it would be nicer if the count started from 10 to 1...it would build more hype reading it.

Based on skill no question about that but I believe this power rank is related to official games. Now I am excited because he is reducing his 3v3@hunter time for more training, probably because of asl, i believe his group is easy, I mean everytime I saw effort playing vs stork it was pure anal rape. Can't wait to see him gaining the spot his skill deserves. Effort I am counting on you, please show who is the real ultimate god of zvt.

I wouldn't say JD has the best mechanics at all. In fact, when you watch his games it always seems like his macro is a bit behind when comparing it to someone like Soulkey or hero, and some of his micro is a bit off. But what JD does well and has always done well is he makes some damn good decisions. JD always looks like he has too few units and threw a few away, then makes a gorgeous decision and you go "huh, looks like he's going to win now". I think that's why he's so fun to watch.

And I think Snow is too low. He showed some PvZ weakness, but I don't think it's so bad because in the PvZs he won he showed some great strengths. He just needs to patch up (the walls in) his early game. When he doesn't let lings into his base he has a good winrate, the issue is the amount that he lets lings into his base...
Sweet.
