Last season I made one of these, so I am doing it again.
Who do you think is the best? Rank the players!

Here's mine. Pretty close to yours but I don't rate Speed as highly as you do. Think our tier break points are just a little different overall.

I have to admit, I respect your YSC ranking there. I do think you place Mind too low, and Queen quite high!

Queen is on a never-ending slump, I was certain he wouldn't make it to ro16, and he didn't, losing in a group where the best one was Barracks, and second best the SC tourist Rain. Cannot put him anywhere higher. Action is having a good streak, if it lasts, I can see him making it into ro8.

Extra question. Are the players in the tiers ranked horizontally from left to right, or no particular order?
Got to say I largely agree but it does feel a bit bottom heavy.

Queen won 2 ASL seasons. He's already out. accomplished does not equate to currently being among the best.

My 2 cents:

sSak, free, zero and Action are too high
Speed should be higher

I am really liking how people agree on the top three-five, but the middle is a complete mix-up, and then the bottom is largely the same.

If YSC goes round of 16 I'll eat my non existing pair of socks.

I see a lot of won games against Jaedong, who I don't rate at all, so I think that's why I don't rate Speed as high as you. He can take some games off the top pros but I'm just not in the boat that he's going to be that strong. Maybe I should have him another tier higher, he definitely has been shown to want to play better opponents constantly from Artosis casts.

to be honest. I think there is a good argument to be made snow is somewhat struggling with the current meta.

Mostly pretty safe tier lists all around. I would maybe argue that with current map pool you can move all zerg players down a rung though (with possible exception of soulkey?).

Actually based on games I've seen lately you can maybe move all protoss down a rung too lol. This map pool and current meta is terran-favored AF. Only monty hall in PvT is bad for Terran as far as I can tell.
