I'd love to see TheWind and BoxeR do well this tournament. Would also be nice to see Tester dominate once again. All of these names take me back to S1.

Moon was runner up at IEM. Even though his GSL results have been lacking, I'd say it's a bit harsh to put him at 58th out of 62

Interesting list but mma as top 5 is a bit of a joke based on his perfomance. Outside bo1 gstl he hasn't made it out of code a and has been mollywhomped in his up/down.

Really fun and lively writeup. Great job! I wasn't particularly enthusiastic about this tournament until after I read this - now, I will definitely be purchasing a VOD ticket.

I use to be a Nestea fan until he commented about the balance. Anywho, good list!

You know he was joking, right?

Pretty sure MarineKing has played 2 bo5's vs Nada and won them both, only losing a bo1 :o

Not sure why someone who's been in 3/7 finals in the best tournament in the world is ranked lower than MMA(rofl), Alicia and Nada, he should be at least tied #4 with Bomber

But hype and bias will always be part of these I guess, good writeup eh

lol, I fel like Supernova is paying TL to overhype him before each major tournament.

Other than that though, I think your rankings are really good!

says who? you? how that statement he made could ever in any universe be a joke? seemed pretty straight forward to me. im so tired of fanboys trying to protect their 'idols'.. nestea IS the best zerg in the world and a fantastic player overall but i never thought he was going to go down that idra road.. its sad really for a player of his caliber.

MKP should be 5th at the lowest, maybe behind Bomber.

MMA is ranked way too high. He took long enough to make it into Code A, and wasn't very close to making it out. Compared to people like Nada and MKP who have remained consistant it just doesn't compare.

Still a great write up and an amazing read.
