Why is MVP not on this list?

Also great read.


Oh the irony...


I burst out laughing, brilliant

Edit: I predict the Grubby line to win the next TL ESPORTS contest!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Thanks for the write up guys! Read through all the ranks and largely agree (though could dispute some players a rank or two either way here or there).

The tournament looks great, but I'll be pleasantly shocked if anyone not in the top3 takes this tournament. Rooting for DRG, but would be very happy to see Oz, Polt and Violet do well. Plus any foreigners of course.

I really don't agree with Illusion over Destiny, but other then that, an excellent read.

Ret ZvZ is overated and statistics are inflated from the early days of sc2. ZvZ IS rets weakness and he is pretty bad at it considering his level of ZvT and now ZvP. So if he doesnt meet too many zergs, i believe he can do well.
Oz maybe a little too high, Naniwa should be infornt of ret if you ask me, otherwise a good list i would say
And dont forget Huk always shines at MLGs !

That's part of TL's advertising stuff, MLG would need to pay for it to be up.

It would be wrong to put one of the Kings of Foreign Tournaments outside the top ten, especially with so much money to be won. At some point, the governments of various nations should allow PuMa to levy a tax unto their populations directly, to save him the trouble of having to fly so much (once a year, each nation is allowed to put forth a champion to face PuMa in a best of nine for exemption from the tax).

Impressive as his results might be, there's a not-so-dirty caveat to PuMa's success. When top, Code S level Koreans are involved, PuMa falls to the wayside. The only GSL finalist class player PuMa has beaten for a championship is MC, and one of those times was during MC's horrendous slump. At his last three MLG events, where there were a number of tough Korean opponents present, PuMa placed 5th, 7th, and 11th, being eliminated by Nada, MC, and IdrA respectively. It's no big shame, since the guys who win those events tend to be GSL championship caliber, and it's not exactly an insult to PuMa to say he's not at that level yet.

Additionally, while PuMa's TvP and TvT are excellent, his TvZ continues to be a liability. He's had trouble with high level foreigner Zergs, and they've beaten him in the past, making this a particularly dangerous tournament for PuMa. Undoubtedly, he will place high enough to win some money, because that's what PuMa always does, but the actual championship might be too lofty a goal.


So yea I guess beating MMA 3-1 doesn't mean anything, and losing 3-2 to MC is "bad" lol. Also beating players like Dimaga, Zenio, at IEM and 3-0'ing Lucky at assembly is pretty bad TvZ I guess yep.

C'mon Seeker, you even read the post? It was for the people who are actually attending the LAN. MMA isn't. Just like Leenock Nestea MVP Gumiho etc isn't on it as well :/

Ohhhhhhhhh well that makes much much much more sense thank you.

BTW, where EXACTLY does it say that?

Another reason why I think Grubby is great. He just has the best outlook on things

TIL there's a "Grubby Line" LOL. Interesting contemplation: Can I move above the Grubby Line, or do I make people go under?

Why is stephano above polt?

Yes stephano recently beat him, but in the 3 other times they have met in the past 4 months, stephano was crushed...1 win doesn't make up for 3 losses imo (for tournaments, other 3 losses are in Assembly & MSI pro cups)

If i missed any other times they have played, my apologies, but I believe these are the only 4 times they have played one another recently (within past 4 months).
🥇 Prediction Contest - Mess with the best, die like the rest.

Last time I saw a power ranking article, I clicked to it, discovered it was BW rankings, commented about how the article title should indicate BW or SCII, and the peanut gallery went ape, declaring, "power rankings are always BW, have been for years byaaah." Thanks for the MLG Winter tag.

Well, the ranking represents more than their results against each other. Between the Supertournament and Assembly Polt did not show as many results as Stephano.

Edit: You can also read the JYP example under criteria.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
