No way. Seed is not worthy of #10. I wouldn't even say top 15. Somewhere between #20 and #15, but going from just barely clawing his way to a GSL finals, winning a PvP series against MC (Something Naniwa, HuK, Grubby, and others have done before) and then dropping off the face of the earth other than GSTL makes me really question the ranking here. We'll see though.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Damn, this must be the most staked tournament in the history of SC2 so far.
Like, we're only missing Mvp and NesTea for it to reach new heights of stupidly stacked. The number of Koreans, and the list of accomplishment each has, is so ridiculously big that you could write entire articles on that alone.
There are some former GSL regulars that didn't even make it to the top 30, including one finalist (Genius), as well as several code S champions and regulars that placed really low on the ranking.

I've never seen a more stacked tournament since IPL4.

I really like how IPL is forging its own identity here.
GSL is the most prestigious tournament out there.
DH is the best EU tournament bar none with the second best production (only behind GOM).
MLG is the biggest NA event.
WCS is the biggest global event, pitting players against each other from across the globe and trying to find new talent.

IPL is now confirmed as the most stupidly stacked event out of all, sporting so many GSL Code S Koreans that it nearly rivals the GSL Super tournament, not to mention the huge number of good foreign players also there.
If IPL continues its good work and their 6th event is even more stacked then this, then I won't have words to describe it, I'm having trouble finding words right now.

His team matches have been quite steller. Recently when ST played FXO he played Leenock and Lucky, and looked very top tier doing so. Quite enjoyable games.

Genius and NaNiwa deserve a spot on the ranking much more than some of the players that are on it imo.

If IPL could schedule their next event to include all these players + all the champions of the most recent events of the time + all the GSL champs that haven't retired, it would reach new levels of epic.
Probably never going to happen due to the massive logistics involved and bad luck/circumstance that prevents certain players from attending, but then again, I didn't think it was possible to get as stacked as this one is either.

LIFE must win! If not him at least Squirtle! I really hope Squirlte is hungry for redemption and slaughters everyone in his path to get it!

If I've learned anything from past rankings is that it never turns out that way(I guess that can be said about anything in life). Kinda hoping for an upset of some kind.
Maybe Byun or Sea!

Edit: Or of course a Startale player would be awesome

Nice read. With MKP elsewhere, I feel free to root for (not Root, sorry) IPL.Hyun, Scarlett, and CreatorPrime.

Sad that there is no Grubby line for the ranking, though... guess it's tough without a Grubby.

I'm really feeling Hyun for this IPL/GSL weekend. Maybe it's finally his time. And IPL already has a check ready for him.

But I think it'd be nice to see Scarlett come out swinging for the return to her first major appearance.

(Wait, am I holding out hope for two zerg players? Ack! Umm... Taeja! Taeja should do well too. Phew! Thought I was betraying my race there for a minute.)

Honestly, Sniper is probably the best player right now in the word record-wise and momentum-wise, but I'm pretty sure he'll need to win IPL5, GSL and cure cancer for people to call him the best in the world.

Sorry, Sniper.

If he can overcome a Fionn curse like that, he'll have a really good start on building up that reputation.

StarTale Bomber will bomb every enemy, but himself. Life will siphon life from his enemies. Hyun will be a cute fuck and demolish people. Squirtle fighting ^_^

Go StarTale.

Rofl. Just because you don't care doesn't mean that the rest of us think the same way. Go back to watching your little foreigner tournaments while we bask in the epicness of GSL-level play. And to those of you complaining about Naniwa being left out, go look at some of his recent results and tell me if he deserves to be on this list. Foreigner bias much?

C'mon Bogus Hero and Taeja! I just don't want a ZvZ finals. Whole lot of Zerg and Terran up there, Terrans are starting to look strong again.

I would downgrade most of the terrans in places 16-27. In fact, I would downgrade all terrans with a few exceptions. Terran is underpowered now, didn't you hear? Bogus hasn't proved himself in a tournament format and I don't agree with Ryung being so high up either.

Stephano, nerchio and scarlett are good, but Vortix doesn't deserve that ranking imho. Vortix hasn't played anything major since ESL Berlin where he sucked balls. Snute and Naniwa are miles better than Vortix imho.

Still, decent ranking. Top 5 is spot-on and I can at least understand your reasoning for the other places.

EDIT: Can't fucking spell.
