MKP has to be the most chronically overrated player within SC2, both Ryung and aLive have shown much better play recently, to say nothing of the other races.


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.


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.


This is singularly the stupidest thing I have ever read, I'd heard this site held a reasonable standard of discussion but you just evidenced the contrary.

Enjoy the rest of your life.

Looking at the recent results, I feel like the protoss players will place better in the tournament than in the write-up. I know that alot of the top protosses right now (MC, Creator, Seed, Squirtle, Parting) aren't going to be at MLG, but the second tier protosses should still place much better than in the power ranks.

It would be absolutely amazing for this tournament to help us figure out whether MKP or Taeja is the best Terran in the world right now.

I know there's still MVP out there but let's ignore that just for this tournament

How come people always seems to forget Byun when it comes to the best terrans? Fuck, I'd say Byun > MKP.

Could you edit the power rank and make a "honorable mentions" / "those who just missed the cut" topic? I think that there are some people in the +30 rank that will break into the 1-30 spots or those who are inconsistent but are capable of wonders. I truly think that goody has a good chance and perhaps the breakout open bracket foreigner.

Until Taeja beats Seed in a bo3 or greater, in my mind the GSL champ is still number 1. They split their games at IPL TAC, and Seed has been very good in WCS Korea. If only IM could get him out to MLGs...
PartinG fanboy to the max, Rain/Squirtle/Dear/Scarlett/Bbyong are cool too. I don't always watch Dota2 but when I do I have no clue what's going on. GOGO POWER RANGERS

The only mlg ive ever been to was columbus last year with my brother. It had the grubby line. It has the debut of the grubby line.

And now, the grubby line is back, and im pumped for this mlg i cant even go to. At cbus, heart was created as a player in my mind. He didnt exist beforehand.

Im pumped.

My question is Where is Axslav? wtf . Great writeup of course, but Axslav doesn't get the credit he deserves. He has made it to the championship bracket at Both of the last MLG Championships. When Suppy got into EG he had a showmatch vs Axslav and lost 3-1. Also, I was standing behind Axslav and watching him as he beat idra and sent him to the losers bracket at the last MLG championship. It seems like no matter how consistently good Axslav is, he doesn't get the recognition he deserves as a player because he isn't followed by a hype train.

marineking seems to have worked really hard on this TvZ and you see a lot of Byun in his play these days. This might be his time for comeback. He didn't have too much broadcasted matches lately, but this makes a player with that much dedication and drive to be the best just insanely strong. Marineking for taking it all!

I agree, MKP is easily one of the favorites here, probably the only player he needs to avoid is aLive with his strong mech TvT

There are no tricky Zergs here such as SymboL or YuGiOh, (and his arch rival DRG isnt here either)

and the ones who are here he should know all too well.

And his TvP is nearly unmatched, so he shouldnt have much trouble dealing with Oz or HerO.

Really? MKP at #2 despite his awful performances recently? I think Stephano should be #2.

Axslav is good, but he is barely out of the top 30. I wouldn't have put him there either.

I get the taeja hype, but there has been like six "best players in the world" since mvp lost the throne. I think we need to get over the obsession with naming the best player in the world, because its usually pretty ambiguous. In fact, i think the only players who have ever had a really strong claim to being the best at a certain time have been mvp and nestea.


That would be like saying you can't have a top pick basketball player anymore because Michael Jordan used to be really good for a long time.
