Absolutely beautiful write up. As for Life over Rain, my heart wants Rain but he starts all the way from the open bracket compared to Life being seeded straight into group play. And Life is Zerg >.> so the ranks look about right.

Also as for Life losing to Hyun 5-4 in fight club, he was the only player to take Hyun to the 9th final game. The closest anyone else got was 5-3. Fight club is just Hyuns turf.

As for rains 4-1 loss to Hyvaa, this one was a bit strange, because he then proceeded to 4-1 DRG in Osl finals. I think it would be safe to assume he was purposely holding back and hiding strategies for the finals not long after that game against Hyvaa.

Flash has always been #1 on the power rank except when he was in hospital getting an upgrade. Then he was #2.

I would put my money on Flash. He is the most talented of all the players in this MLG.

I hope Bomber can win this. I need something to keep my belief alive that he's an awesome player. I wouldn't be displeased if Life won though.

Good write up.

Hoping to see (Z)

Scarlett give a Great performance. Also would Love to see a random open bracket HerO come through, but it'S going to be tough with all PrO talent in Dallas.

Scarlett's shape is looking fantastic resently, she might go far, Also hoping Grubby brings his typical MLG showing and a bit more, would be nice for him to not be the line anymore

Also Life should be a huge favorite, for he above any one seems to play very free and preperation is only a second thing, while a player like Rain would practice and study oponents like no other.
To win a MLG you need to be able to play anything against any one. A Life or Leenock has that. (and a Taeja in form)

I would place Scarlett at around #10, just behind Bomber. I don't know if she's really superior to Crank, Ganzi, Heart etc. but zerg is really strong these days, so she should have the advantage.

Even a player like IdrA could probably do really well against someone like Heart. I mean, he recently took games off of Flash, MarineKing, so I'm not sure why he isn't even in the Power Ranking. And as always, these Power Rankings put Thorzain way too high also.

YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHH

...This will be one of the top events so far, thats for sure. The lineup is so stacked that even a Top30 Powerrank cant put a light on every interesting competitor. Really looking forward to it, like the hyping of Rain and Life but I also think ppl will be (again) a little disappointed afterwards...but lets see
