Very good list.

MKP has a lot of fans here who will be mad at you for ranking him at 10th, but I agree that is probably where he belongs.

Other than a few changes here and there in a small number (usually moving up and down like 3-4 ranks), I think it is pretty dang good.

I agree with this ranking overall. I approve of NesTea being in first, A few weeks ago I would've contested that ranking, but after NesTea vs sCfOu...I was legitimately inspired. Like his play was awe-inducing. NesTea wowed me in a way that NO SC2 player has, his spirit was in those games. You could tell that NesTea wanted those wins so badly, every inch of his being was invested in every maneuver he made. NesTea has the heart of the champion. The Eye of the Tiger if you would, and it makes me contemplate switching to Zerg because I see what he can do with it.

I'm just so damn excited for this tournament to get started!!! I'm always more of a fan of the big 64 man tourneys than the split 32 w/groups version. This just seems more old-school and manly to me.

Not being an expert of any kind (follow Code S from time to time), I was proud to guess the order of top-3 right. :D

My wishes go out to LosirA, MarineKingPrime and Jinro.

If you want to bitch about the way the players were ranked, write your own article on what you think they should be ranked. Obviously nothing is going to be perfect, but this is a well-written article. And let's be honest, Jinro and HuK (even though they are TL members) have shown they can play well.

And lol @ Jinro for suggesting he be 64th... such a modest guy <3

Nice list, but a bit speculative for my tastes as some of the newer names are ranked very high despite having played very few games at the highest level

MKP being #10 seems way to low, somewhere in the 4-6th range imo

Yeah, while all those new guys above him have potential they haven't shown the results to be above MKP yet.

Here's hoping for a MKP vs NesTea repeat final. The reigning champion vs the reigning runner up. The zerg king vs the marine king. The man who took 100,000,000 won from MKP in season 2, now fighting with 100,000,000 won on the line again.

How did you decide between the lower numbers (like who gets spot #52 over #53?)

Rain is too low. He should be a few spaces higher.

'At the beginning of this year, the question was: Who of the legends is going to recreate their Warcraft 3 success first, Moon or Grubby? At this point, the answer is neither. Grubby accomplished the previously unthinkable task of losing to Artosis in the NASL this past week (and 0-2 at that), and Moon’s most memorable moments have been failed baneling bombs.'

Yeah, ur gonna regret writing that
