#IMadeThis power rank, and it is basically a rank of chances to win blizzcon outright instead of a strongest player ranking. So, it isn’t exactly a true power rank I guess. Some bias also :p
16- Jaedong: 70%+ chance to lose against any player in the tournament. ZvP looks bad and his half of the bracket is filled with protoss (although he might not face any)
15- jjakji: Lost to foreigners in the WCS EU RO32 to get knocked out in last place. He's only ahead of Jaedong because he got second at Dreamhack Moscow and didn't look too bad in the finals.
14- San: Yes, sorry Cricketer. Places 14-12 are very contested due to the bracket arrangement. San's bracket completely depends on luck. He could get 3 zergs in a row and win this tournament without dropping a map, but it's far more likely he'll struggle against jjakji before losing to Zest.
13- MC: While he did beat Stardust in some very nice series in WCS EU (knocking him out), he got crushed by YoDa and he hasn't done anything noteworthy in 3 months outside of BO3 series. He is very vulnerable in prepared matches (See Flash beating him in IEM Toronto the day after losing 1-2). Being likely to face protoss players doesn't help either, especially herO who is very good at PvP.
12- Polt: "Wtf Templar, you suck at power ranks" Hear me out here. Polt's facing Classic first. Do you know when the last time Classic had to prepare for a terran was? That was against Maru in the GSL. Do you remember how that went? Yeah. He also likely faces herO after that, and herO is amazing at PvT, recently defeating Flash and Bomber in the KeSPA cup very convincingly. If Polt manages to find Classic out of shape AND herO gets PvP'd by someone who lost to spacemarine recently, then he likely faces Bomber or MMA. If he does, they have both played amazing TvT recently, and if he doesn't, then StarDust probably just beat two terrans and is ready for a third.
11- Life: Life drew the short stick, but his situation is very similar to San's. If he gets the right matchups (jjakji and zergs), he could very easily go far, but his work is cut out for him even then. He has no weak players to face (well, I guess maybe jjakji).
10- Classic: I'm least confident in this one and I wanted to put him higher. He did well at KeSPA cup but hasn't played much else. Dreamhack wasn't very telling as he had a mediocre performance, but he's still a fairly strong player. His PvP is still good, his PvT is a wildcard (he hasn't played one in over a month but did beat Maru when he prepared), and his PvZ is decent.
9- StarDust: A strong player who barely lost to MC in the WCS EU RO16 in very good games. He has lost more than she should have recently, but he is a better player than the statistics say. He is also the dark horse so he has to be as close to the middle as possible.
8- MMA: Turns out that WCS stats are accurate for the middle seeds  . I was sold on a top 5-6 seed for MMA until I looked at his last few matches on aligulac. Who the hell is poizon? Anyway, he seems to have mysteriously dropped off after his WCS win, going 3-3 against foreigners and losing to First in the San Jose qualifier.
7- HyuN: The only players I haven't listed are all strong and consistent (except maybe Bomber). HyuN is the sloppiest, and he got crushed by Heart in WCS America. Well, he's facing INnoVation and then quite possibly TaeJa, or maybe soO. INnoVation is known to strategize and prepare for his matches. Both players are known for generally sticking to one play-style throughout a series. TaeJa is, each day, at one skill level. If he beats soO he will surely beat HyuN. If soO beats TaeJa, he is definitely more than ready for HyuN.
6- herO: Not much to say, except he got a very nice bracket. Not likely to win in the finals, though, and he's threatened by Classic and either terran from the top quarter of the bracket.
5- Zest: Everyone on Zest's half of the bracket is probably thinking nonstop about Zest and it's not because of his muscles. Everyone will be after him. Everyone in the bottom quarter of the bracket (half of which are Zest's weakest matchup) can hide any TvP/ZvP strategies until they face him. He's basically the super-ace surrounded by snipers.
4- soO: soO was recently picked apart by INnoVation in the GSL finals. Well guess what soO, you're probably facing him in round 2! I guess you should have beaten him the first time. soO's bracket gets easier as he moves further into the tournament, which is not a good combination with his kong curse. I'm not even going to mention that TaeJa and Zest are both in his half of the bracket too.
3- Bomber: Bomber gets a nice cushion in Jaedong who is probably preparing furiously and will make this PR look silly. Then he gets to face StarDust/MMA who have dropped off a lot in the last month or two. That means he probably has a 75%+ chance to make it to the semi-finals, where things get really tricky for him. He's probably facing a strong KeSPA protoss (herO crushed him in the KeSPA cup) or Polt (super close series recently), and then the strongest player out of soO, Zest, TaeJa, INnoVation... yeah.
2- INnoVation: 100% chance of avoiding protoss until the semifinals, and he looked very nice against Cure and soO in the GSL. There's very little to analyze because he did the same thing against Cure every game and most of the games against soO were 2rax or him dying to roach all-ins (HyuN's specialty), which he's probably improved on a lot.
1- TaeJa: TL bias

He has no weak players to face (well, I guess maybe jjakji). 10- Classic: I'm least confident in this one and I wanted to put him higher. He did well at KeSPA cup but hasn't played much else. Dreamhack wasn't very telling as he had a mediocre performance, but he's still a fairly strong player. His PvP is still good, his PvT is a wildcard (he hasn't played one in over a month but did beat Maru when he prepared), and his PvZ is decent. 9- StarDust: A strong player who barely lost to MC in the WCS EU RO16 in very good games. He has lost more than she should have recently, but he is a better player than the statistics say. He is also the dark horse so he has to be as close to the middle as possible. 8- MMA: Turns out that WCS stats are accurate for the middle seeds . I was sold on a top 5-6 seed for MMA until I looked at his last few matches on aligulac. Who the hell is poizon? Anyway, he seems to have mysteriously dropped off after his WCS win, going 3-3 against foreigners and losing to First in the San Jose qualifier. 7- HyuN: The only players I haven't listed are all strong and consistent (except maybe Bomber). HyuN is the sloppiest, and he got crushed by Heart in WCS America. Well, he's facing INnoVation and then quite possibly TaeJa, or maybe soO. INnoVation is known to strategize and prepare for his matches. Both players are known for generally sticking to one play-style throughout a series. TaeJa is, each day, at one skill level. If he beats soO he will surely beat HyuN. If soO beats TaeJa, he is definitely more than ready for HyuN. 6- herO: Not much to say, except he got a very nice bracket. Not likely to win in the finals, though, and he's threatened by Classic and either terran from the top quarter of the bracket. 5- Zest: Everyone on Zest's half of the bracket is probably thinking nonstop about Zest and it's not because of his muscles. Everyone will be after him. Everyone in the bottom quarter of the bracket (half of which are Zest's weakest matchup) can hide any TvP/ZvP strategies until they face him. He's basically the super-ace surrounded by snipers. 4- soO: soO was recently picked apart by INnoVation in the GSL finals. Well guess what soO, you're probably facing him in round 2! I guess you should have beaten him the first time. soO's bracket gets easier as he moves further into the tournament, which is not a good combination with his kong curse. I'm not even going to mention that TaeJa and Zest are both in his half of the bracket too. 3- Bomber: Bomber gets a nice cushion in Jaedong who is probably preparing furiously and will make this PR look silly. Then he gets to face StarDust/MMA who have dropped off a lot in the last month or two. That means he probably has a 75%+ chance to make it to the semi-finals, where things get really tricky for him. He's probably facing a strong KeSPA protoss (herO crushed him in the KeSPA cup) or Polt (super close series recently), and then the strongest player out of soO, Zest, TaeJa, INnoVation... yeah. 2- INnoVation: 100% chance of avoiding protoss until the semifinals, and he looked very nice against Cure and soO in the GSL. There's very little to analyze because he did the same thing against Cure every game and most of the games against soO were 2rax or him dying to roach all-ins (HyuN's specialty), which he's probably improved on a lot. 1- TaeJa: TL bias taeja cant win, san wont let him San will lose to Zest No
Zest has sick PvP. San had sick PvP

I would put Stardust to 14th place and JD to 13th.
