:S Some how this lacked the magic of the old proleague power ranks. Need more boxes.

DongRaeGu is rightfully ranked top.

He needed his time. But then he rose to power.

Oz is really overrated here imo. I would put instead of, Oz 4th, Alive 5th, Stephano 6th, Polt 7th,
Stephano 4th, Polt 5th, Alive 6th, Oz 7th. Oz's achievements/level of play seem too close to Parting's at 8th to justify a 4th place ranking.


You don't watch any online cup's do you? He's good enaugh for that spot.

What online cups has Oz done well in?

Reasonably well in all the ESVs and other small Korean tourneys.

Yea, but Stephano and Polt have both placed 1st and 2nd in recent LAN tournies and won many online tournies. Polt has won 3 MSI cups. Stephano has won 2 MSI cups and several other invitationals, such as shoutcraft. Alive won the Fnatic invitational that Oz competed in(and did reasonably well in). And tbh I haven't seen Oz compete in any ESV tournies. Link?

DRG should be at the top. However, I think MKP is a little over ranked, since he struggles in (most) championship series events [by struggle, I mean he doesn't get 1st].

Too bad this even is no longer free to watch, as it stands, if I can't watch it for free, I don't care much. Just send me the results Sunday nite when it's over. It's just like any sporting event that you can't see, I'm sure it's good, but only the results matter if you can't witness it.

i really am disappointed in how dumb people are in this thread. Thinking its not free, wondering where MMA is in the rankings. Seriously, this is a really sad thread.

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
2. Stephano
3. NesTea
4. Leenock
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?

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.


Which tournament has Leenock won in 2012? Or Nestea? Or Curious? I personally think, that Leenock is maybe a bit stronger than Stephano, but in his last international apperiances Nestea lost to a lot of players, who are not as good as Stephano. And putting Curios above him has nothing to back it up at all. I think my personal zerg-ranking would look like this:
1. DRG
2. gap
3. Leenock
4. Stephano
5. Nestea
6. Curios/Lucky/July



I am not arguing that stephano has accomplished as much as NesTea (though it could be argued he has accomplished as much as Leenock and more than Curious for sure) for example, but I am also basing it off the "eye test," just like people do in power rankings and regular rankings in other sports (Team A looks better than Team B when they play, thus they are ranked higher is one simple example). He looks to be able to beat (and has) most if not all mid-top tier koreans (he had a very good showing in korea despite tieing and not making it out of a very hard group). I think you could flip the middle 3, and before watching his recent streaming and the lone star clash I had him in 4th with NesTea in 2nd and Leenock in 3rd. Like I said those middle 3 are close but there is a gap between DRG, those 3, and then the rest of the field, even curious to some degree.

Edit: btw "gap" is an overrated Z who should not be ranked higher than Leenock ;P

I would not judge Naniwa as Korean before I see his GSL performance. Naniwa is too high placed. Same is true for Ret.

The only foreigners who are korean are Stephano and HuK. We know where Huk is, his position is roughly okay, but how can you possibly judge Stephano. We know he is as good as Polt, but how good is Polt? Polt just fell out of the GSL...

But I guess you have to write something in a power ranking.

That Liquid bias for Ret. He's above Huk for doing well at an offline training event? Huk got third at winter arena....
Huk is consistetly placing well, Ret has done it once or twice. Rest of list isn't bad, but Ret shouldn't be anywhere near where he is. "Is hailed as a god in ZVP for one event" "loses 2 straight games to protoss to start MLG."

Little less blatent Liquid, just a little.

Are you kidding? There isn't a single player in the world going into a bo3 or bo5 vs MC that I would think "nope, MC is screwed. no chance".
When MC gets it wrong he looks terrible, but when he gets it right, he looks terrifying!

thats true for every top player though.

Players who have beat HerO in Team Leagues: DongRaeGu, MKP, and SjoW. I'm just gonna leave that here and go.


This was probably written before it happened but Leenock has beaten him too.

I find it so hilarious that the people who didn't properly read the post aren't outraged by the rankings if they thought it was a comprehensive Korean + NA + EU power rank. They just seem mildly annoyed, but any logical person would be questioning how there could be more foreigners than Koreans in a power rank.

Don't read, and don't respond 'properly' for what they interpreted incorrectly as.
