People who are like: "Why isn't MVP/MMA/Nestea/Genius/Puzzle/Leenock/Jjakji/whoever on the list?!" Need to learn to read. These are the players going to the MLG Winter Championship. Many Korean players have their GSL matches around the same time, so can't be in two places at once.

Very nice PR. Would love to see one including everyone from the TL staff some day.

Side note, personal top 5 Z in the world atm:

1. DRG

5. Curious


Was about to call bogus, but I guess there aren't that many high profile korean zergs atm. Still, you have no basis for rating Stephano over those guys. And I'd argue Leenock is showing way better form than NesTea for some time now.


Being 2nd elo and winning lots of tournaments isn't enough basis to consider ranking him higher than those guys? I don't get what he's supposed to do to be ranked above them then. Win the GSL?

Play against them. Yes, Stephano can win against Koreans no doubt but when he wins a tournament with at least 10 top calibre Koreans we can start to talk. Bring up ELO is laughable and if it's only about winning tournament you could rank Goody higher than most Koreans last year... At least have a sound argument.

I'd say this is a very well thought out and written Power rank.
I mostly agree with it, my only concerns would be Oz being 4th, I'm not entirely sure whether he deserves it, but I might be wrong too.

On a slightly different note, GO FOXER!!! ;]

This is where you point me to those amazing results nestea/curious has had this year. Curious is in great form right now but I don't see how you can have "no basis" for ranking stephano above him. It doesn't matter though, stephano hasn't played in the gsl so he's obviously not to ever be considered a good player, no no. Only koreans can be considered good, sorry for arguing. I didn't realise there was a set number of koreans you had to beat in one tournament before you get to be ranked high.

They are sorta equal really, theres a reason why they are just besides each other. Stephano is higher since he won their last encounter, and its up to polt to see how it goes next time they meet

Win a Premier tournament in 2012 at least(no lone star clash doesn't count.), or do better than them in the GSL. Currently there's no way Stephano deserves to be ranked above Leenock.

Oh, he only beat a GSL champion, but there was no crowd! CPL? IPL4 qualifiers? There were crowds there. I mean, where is the line going to be drawn? Winning a GSL is probably the only thing that will stop this, even if he wins this event I can still see "Well he's taken 2nd soooo many times and he won 2 events in such a short time span, let's see if he can break the Kong line with a 1st place in GSL now that it's 2 months later and his hotstreak has faded."

Sorry, I'm just getting tired of it is all.


Seems only GSL and MLG count towards ending his run as Kong. Makes sense to me.

The line is here:

---- Everything below this counts as a 'special event' ----

MLG (debatable, but I don't think it counts)
CPL
IPL4 quals
etc.

Stopped reading at "schizophrenia". SCHIZOPHRENIA IS NOT SPLIT PERSONALITY. Get it straight, people!

OK, will start reading again now.

I'm not going to argue with putting Leenock above him, Leenock has played really well and proved himself against the toughest opponents.

Stephano beat him quite convincingly in the Lone Star Clash Finals a few days ago 5-2 (2-1 + 3-1), so I'm not so sure 'bout that.

GanZi top 8 for sure. You guys forgetting that he has a 65% winrate in international tournaments, and is kicking ass in TvP recently (6-1 in maps at MLG Winter).

I'm a power ranking hater because GanZi is my fav.

I think Oz does deserve 4th place. He's been a consistent protoss at a time where others where doing horribly and he's continuing to kick ass no matter where he goes. If you look closely you'll see that he doesn't get beaten by people other than the very best... or HuK, in one PvP series. And even if he gets beaten, the games are close. ALive is similar but if I compare them, the way aLive was demolished by Genius makes me give a slight edge to Oz.
