Open Bracket is rough. No matter how could you are, you can screw up a few games. And there are great players in the Open Bracket already, including Polt.

"Who are impressing us the most right now?" might be a better criterion, as then you could perhaps justify the exclusion of players like MMA, MVP, NesTea, Leenock, etc. I don't think anyone sane thinks that those players don't belong on a list of the top 40 players in the world. edit: also, no Genius?  double edit: hahah this only includes people who are at MLG, I'm a stupid moron
I looked at the list twice and was confused by no genius (among others) as well, then noticed that it only includes people from MLG, so you are not the only one
All in all though, outside of the top 10, it gets really hard to say who is better, but I think the list isn't to bad.

This list is very inaccurate and leaves out many top players who should replace most of the foreigners in the list such as Leenock, MVP etc. EDIT: just noticed its for MLG nvm
|
Really really good ranking.
I agree that only Demuslim is missplaced here. Besides beating Nestea, he hasnt done much. Should place right behind the Grubby line. Ret could be 2-3 places down as well.
|
Artist, Rain, and Select are all ranked far too low. Korean Terrans >>> Grubby...
|
vileIllusion only made it into the list because hes 16 and because he got invited to red bull lan, don't think his tournament results or past mlg results justify him making it into the top 40 over other people, such as minigun.

How can you apply logic to a players like stephano.... he doesnt even watch the replays fors gods sake.

He's really good, a top player in the world. But there's a lot of talent in SC2. While Stephano is the top foreigner without question, I don't know if he's top 10 in the world. But he's up there. Definitely.

can't say I Agree with all of them, especially where naniwa is higher than ganzi. but oh well, at least DRG is at top
|
God, if Ret can carry his focus from Red Bull into MLG, he would be unstoppable O.O
|
I really disagree with a lot of those rankings but it was a fun read!
no way ret should be higher than naniwa (and thats not a knock to ret at all)

Yea but take into account that players like DRG, MMMA etc. are not only talented but they train much more than any other foreign player, thats why i emphasize stephano... he is kinda wonderkid of the foreign scene.

I agree with you. Minigun sure is talented but he doesnt deserve the praise he is recieving right now. Ilusion has shown the results and a lot o people still blindly follow players like idra instead of supporting rising NA talents like him.

I'm pulling for a Illusion breakthrough into the money. I would love to see something like that happen.
Glad to see him included in the top 40.

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?
The title...Lol 
Nice read. I agree with it
