Nice writeup, and the most controversial ranking I've read here by far. Seed is way too high, MMA shouldn't even be on the list, Bogus and Yoda also too high tbh. I think ganzi or lucifron shouldve fought for a #30 ish spot.

I'd be interested to know who's translating for Xigua and whos coming with him from China or is he coming alone and meeting up with someone from IPL? Hopefully someone knows!

there is a major problem with Bogus's ranking (and ryung's). his only accomplishment (current gsl) has been tremendously less dramatic than ryung's. ryung who also has more experience, has shown better games vs better opponents in the most recent gsl is sitting at 12.... all 4 gsl semifinalists are coming to this tournament, why give credit to 3 of them and not all 4, do i need to remind everyone that given ryungs TvT and his recent TvZ's make him the favorite for this GSL season?? and hes ranked worse than squirtle seed bogus (whos accomplished nothing) and lmfao hero and taeja?

Very nice ranking, good job. ByuN I think could be much higher, the only thing that stands out to me.

why is San up there? Genius, Naniwa, and Hwangsin are all (in my opinion) better than him.

Don't like this list at all. Huge amount of things I disagree with. Stephano and Naniwa should be the only foreigners here IMO and Naniwa isn't even on it. Naniwa placed better than a lot of the people on this list at MLG and Dreamhack.

I really don't get why Ryung is only 12th. Especially since Bogus is 6th. They both have the same recent accomplishment of GSL ro4 and IMO Ryung's path was harder. He definitely deserves to be above at least Squirtle and Seed who have just been doing meh lately especially Squirtle. When is the last time Squirtle has looked good at all?

I also think some of the others that didn't make the list is bad. Genius, Sculp, Bboong, Byul, all deserve spots more than players like TheSTC, Vortix, Scarlett, and MMA.

even though you said exactly what i said about ryung and bogus which i commend, squirtle looked good this past weekend when startale threw him out last in the gstl and his games were quite impressive

I have a hard time understanding why TheSTC is on that list? He's pretty bad at international tournaments.

I think Naniwa will do well, I feel that he generally plays a lot better if a tournament is korean heavy.

Meh I think it's way to soon to be ranking bogus ahead of taeja and herO. but other than that I like the rankings.

Nerchio placed better than Naniwa at Dreamhack and 5-0ed him in a recent showmatch, although I would root for Nani in an encounter between these two, I´ve got to admit that Nerchio is the clear Nr. 2, maybe even Nr. 1 of the foreign scene right now.

Exactly, there are so many top tier players that it's hard to say just who's on top.

Also (as a response to others, not the quote), I think VortiX does deserve a spot, I'm not sure he's lost by a long shot to a top Korean since August at least. He 3-0'd No_Longer_TSL_Revival, 3-2'd TaeJa in the RSL on October 5th (so TaeJa was still in his prime), and in IEM, other than VortiX going 0-2 against MC and 1-2 against PiG (which was frankly awful), he lost only 2-3 to Sting, who went on to win the tournament. In the RSL, he lost 2-3 against Leenock earlier this month (who's in his prime), and then lost to Creator, also 2-3, in a very close series akin to Suppy's versus PartinG's. Because of all of this, I think VortiX does have a decent shot, if he can get past Sniper.

Some really strange choices here: Yoda so high, above Byun and Heart, DRG way too low and many more. Nonetheless, really great write-up as usual! Looking forward to see how it turns out, if my evaluations are so off, or the TL writers'

Because he continues to qualify for these things through tough Korean qualifiers, is in OSL, and qualified for GSL code A this season (got knocked out 2-1 by Happy).

I think Squirtle is gonna have a big tournament and show that he's back in form.

Awesome write up as always, these power ranks are awesome for getting my juices flowing (is that a dirty saying?).

About Naniwa, there's noone else I'd rather see doing well but I cannot disagree with not putting him on the top 30. After MLG I was so excited to see him play at lone star clash and DHW but he didn't quite show the quality there that he's capable of, which is contending with Stephano over being the best foreigner.

Gonna cheer for my toss brothers, Nani, MC and Creator now and pray to god we don't have a zvz final.
