edit: i dont disagree with my placement or have a strong opinion about it, but comparing me to slivko like that is silly if you look at finishes
You should not care about these rankings. All what matters is how you play this weekend.
The ranking is justified. Its a power ranking, not 'achievements in 2012'. After HSC (that even includes NASL) your winrate is 36%. Your last events were all disappointing: Stim to the win, Campus Party, Assembly

granted he's risking it all with OSL but still, i think he can preform...
He is way way far away from Nerchio, Stephano, MaNa and some other players which are behind him in Power Rank. Grubby is not even close to take WCS Europe.
With DeathAngel not qualified for WCS Belgium, and Feast deciding school would take priority to pro-gaming, Orly was left to swoop in and pick up the pieces. Now he comes into WCS Europe without a single TLPD game recorded since 2011, leaving us quite intrigued as to how he will do.
You're aware DeathAngel is Romanian yes?
romainans....
He simply didn't know what the inside joke was (that Mr Bitter is bad at geography), it doesn't mean he didn't get the joke.

This. French WCS was completely random after second place. It all depended on when you got rolled over by the train.
I think it's sad how little credit Ziktomini gets for his performances compared to JonnyRecco. Overall I can understand though that it's really hard to put all these players in a complete ranking.

Well if the curse don't hurt stephano should take the title tho (that's if someone takes down nerchio/vortix since he is on the other side of the bracket :p )
A Grubby/MaNa/White-Ra vs Stephano final would the the best :D
as for the power rank, most of it seems fine but NightEnD is underrated imo.
Well the fact is, we don't really know if ToD is better than Dayshii and Eeel, since we don"t get to watch him play very often lately. Also, I don't wanna be mean, but Adel is not the Adel of the early SC2 anymore. He's just a sub-pro on a good team. I think the results of the WCS France shows pretty well what is the state of SC2 in France now.
