This is what happens when a tournament has too many fan favorites, just an explosion of opinions and emotions on whether it is appropriate to place a beloved player too high or too low.

And that's probably just a good thing : )

I don't know the power rank feels a little weird.
It's as if there is a pretty big difference between 9th and anyone beyond that ( except Ryung ).
It seems that the top 9 players are the only ones doing well in the tournaments latelly. ( of course not counting the players that aren't here).
Anyway, since terrans haven't had a new promise in a while I'm going to root for sea, I jope he can be what dream and maru were supposed to be.
Edit: oh there is bogus too, completely forgot about him.
I pledge myself to conquer all the foes who stand before the mighty gift bestowed in my unworthy hand

I want aLive to win again. I never watch him play but maybe he won't be as invisible if he wins IPL again. I do want EG to do well but realistically, I don't expect Stephano to win, maybe top 4 at best (though I hope I expected wrong).

i think bogus is perfect for this tournament and is my favorite to win, his timing attacks are perfectly played out and he can use them against any opponent

what a boring power rank, so many faceless koreans. Fucking foreigners better start winning korean heavy tournaments.


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?


I am looking at recent results. Guess what at Dreamhack winter he out placed Stephano and TheSTC. Yes Nerchio outplaced him but Nerchio got 3-0'd the next round and he also got 2-0'd by the person that barely knocked Naniwa out of the tournament. At MLG he out placed a gigantic amount of this list including MC, TheSTC, Scarlett, San, Hero, and Crank. The only tournament he disappointed at was LSC.

Hell even at LSC he tied with Polt and still placed better than TheSTC. Out of the top 30 STC is probably the one that deserves it the least tbh.


First of all, I didn't say TheSTC deserved to be in the top 30; I agree that he doesn't deserve the spot- but neither does Naniwa.

Who did he beat at DH Winter? ForGG, Ret, and Feast, the last two by a single game. Who did Nerchio beat? 2-1 TLO, 2-0 Targa, 2-0 Dimaga, 2-0 Bischu, 3-1 fraer, 3-0 Mana. And the assumption you're making is the head-to-head fallacy that OP smartly avoided; monchi beat Nerchio and barely beat Naniwa, but his PvZ and PvP aren't equal; results vs a single opponent tell you nothing.

At MLG he only won 2 series, against Ret and BabyKnight (the third vs. Flash was ultimately lost via extended series); many of the players you mentioned didn't have the luxury of being seeded in pool play or having a road that involved no Koreans until Flash in the 3rd round.

Polt was a huge disappointment at LSC, and even then his results are comparable to Naniwa's; Naniwa only beat Hawk and qxc, neither of whom holds a candle to top-level Korean players.He lost to Crank and got swept by Bomber.

And the last, most obvious disappointment was dropping straight from Code S Ro8 two seasons ago into Ro32, then Code A, and finally Code B to Mini.

I think this is the hardest IPL/MLG to make a power rank for yet. Still, great write up and looks pretty good.

Rofl at sculp and byul not even being in top30 while Stephano and violet are top 20. TL should hire writers that actually knOw how to watch the game instead of blindly looking at foreign tournament results. These ranks are always much better when they include pro/high level amateur opinions rather than clueless armchair critics.
I could spend a while with that smile

Naniwa being outside the rankings seems silly to me, especially after his mlg perfomance.

I kinda agree. Naniwa's really inconsistent sometimes though. His Dreamhack performance should have been better.
