That guy won 2 MLGs, placed second in another MLG and was besically the reason why Prime won GSTL season 1 earlier this year. And the 2 years before he was able to reach 3 GSL finals. Another point is that he´s in the OSL RO16 and he´s been in Code S for all 4 seasons this year.

Also he´s one of 10 guys who won more then 100.000 Dollars in prize money in SC2.

How exactly is that overrated? A guy with these kind of archievements has to be one of the top favourites going into any tournaments.


I don't see how listing Marineking's entire career of achievements is relevant to his current form.

It's amusing you give him credit for Prime's victory in GSTL when it was quite clear PartinG was robbed in the final.


Yea... No. It was a disconnect then a regame. Sorta like how the taeja vs nestea game. Gotta love the fanboys with double standards.

You'll have to excuse him, odds are he's regurgitating Idra's statements, who seems to have something against MKP.

haha well done

"So if Taeja often makes these grievous mistakes, how does he end up with his insane win rates and tournament wins?
That's easy; he is just simply better than everyone else. With unparalleled micro, control and mechanics, in addition to a unique approach to the game, TaeJa stands tall above everyone else and often times, even with these otherwise blunderous game-ending mistakes, TaeJa can still eke out a win against anyone. I'd say that being better than everyone else in the tournament is deserving of the #1 spot."
This is a very bold and arrogant statement, saying that he is better than everyone and that he has the best mechanics and so on. Mvp and Seed are most likely better players than Taeja right now but it's a shame they are not at MLG to prove that.

would've liked to see crank over a few of these players, but since you take in tournament placings I understand (he's not really attending much is he?)

We didn't see Crank in the list of players attending. I would have personally put him about 16th if he is indeed attending. Similarly, we weren't sure who the IceCream that signed up was; he might have made top 30.

Btw, I like how some people are arguing Stephano should be higher while others way lower. ^^

Also, Taeja at #1 isn't biased at all. I don't even understand how people can argue that with the players attending MLG. Maybe if MVP and Seed were attending....


He is attending yep. TotalBiscuit sonspors him.

Being overrated means that someone isn´t as good as people think. Going by that definition, he can´t be overrated by any means because he has so many tournament wins and he won so much money.

A player can be overrated if people say he´s very good but he has no archievements under his belt. That´s what being overrated means. Someone who has proven himself many times has gotten out of the "zone" where you can call him overrated because he backed up his skill with a lot of sucess.

If you call MKP overrated, you can call MC, DRG and MVP overrated as well. And that is obviously, just plain wrong.

But it seems that Startale is your favourite team, that would explain why you choose to make such, to my mind, ridiculous and false, statements.

Stephano > MKP without a shadow of a doubt.

Other than that, the only thing I resent about this ranking is calling Stephano "an anomaly", whereas he should be considered the mark of where the foreign participants can get. Are ViOlet, Ganzi, STC, or Heart strictly better than their foreign competitors? No they are not. They represent the level of player that the foreign competitive core is at right now (SortOf, Nerchio, MaNa and so on), there is no need to embellish their superiority to foreign players when in tournaments that are not heavily Korean favoured (MLG, GSL, OSL-as-it-will-be), they are no better than their counterparts.

My apologies, but I feel like everytime Liquid does a "power rank" in preparation for MLG, they brush all the facts under the carpet and just default to trumpeting Korean domination.

End rant.

Now, yeah, ok, this is a tournament with only 3 significant foreign players in attendance, so I guess I can forgive you. But if you were even a tad more objective, the Grubby line would be much higher and ThorZain would be ahead of the EG/coL Koreans.

(Top 16 for both Mr Grubby and Mr ThorZain.. but if ThorZain flops yet again due to EG curse, top 10 for Grubby)

You will see.

I predict GoOdy to finish higher than at least three of the americans, who are in here. But I agree with the top-20, nice write-up in general.

i find it odd that so many seeded to the groups arent featured in the top 30 players. are TL trying to imply that MLGs random seeding system isnt the best? how outlandish.

First i read that IdrA was at #29, then i deiced to look at the players who are attending so that i could decide if the writer is a IdrA fanboy or if the turnout to this event really is bad enough for idra to be top 30.
