Sounds like an interesting idea but I hope that if people bring up debate etc you arne't as PMS as you are in this post, even if it's somewhat sarcastic.

FUCK! I REALLY THOUGHT I WOULD BREAK TOP 10 THIS WEEK!!


Edit: I think this is a bad idea. No offense to DJ Cool (he can, after all, rock a rhyme with the greatest of ease), but while he may know more about korean players than us, there are a lot of people who know more about koreans than him. It'd be like sweetlemons having an NFL power ranking feature on this site (or rather like me, panthers rock, bears suck, steve smith going to get shut down my ass, bitch, he's going to rape you fools again, REMATCH, SON!?!?!).

I also think the featured threads idea is bad. Or rather just worthless.

That is because you are a homo that only trolls the forums, and does not read the news or care about the BW scene. Thus, your opinion is noted and disregarded.

For all of you who think you can do better, go scrap it up in the power ranking thread and do better yourself. This column, while perhaps abrasive to some, is sanctioned by the site. Go see if you can do better!

As he wrote...

I can see now that what I was hoping to save for next month is going to have to come now. A similar write-up will be present with the posting of every list from this point on, but I thought--perhaps--I could get away without posting it to start. Apparently not. So, onward to the justifications...

---

IPX - There's just no way to logically consider anyone else the hottest, most dominant player in progaming right now. He's won three of the last four MSLs, and he placed second in the one that he didn't win. Beyond that, he's into the ODT, and I can't even remember the last time he lost in the Proleague.

Anytime - This is a controversial choice, I know. But look at the players Anytime faced in getting to the OSL finals. Then watch his actual play. It's easy to look at the statistics and say, "Yo, Nada won 3-2 and had a better record in the tournament." Anytime faced harder players and displayed a greater degree of skill. If Arkanoid and Peaks weren't practically free wins TvP, I have no doubt that Anytime would have won the OSL with ease. And as an extra little nudge, Lecaf, under Anytime's stellar Proleague record, is current the #1 pro team.

Nada - He won the OSL and defeated both Reach and GoodFriend 3-0 in the weeks leading up to it. But he's just not in the same form as IPX or Anytime.

Midas - His semifinal performances have been lacking, but that doesn't change the fact that, on any given day, he can beat anyone in the world. His 2-3 losses to Anytime and Savior have been heartbreaking, and in both series, he's gone up 2-1, blown a huge game 4 lead, and just collapsed in game 5. If he learns to control his nerves, he'll be at the top of the game.

Sea - This is another controversial pick, but in terms of sheer scariness, no one out there has his combination of macro and multitasking. No one controls battles on multiple fronts while still macroing perfectly as well as Sea—no one. He needs to work on his TvZ, because it’s just not a matchup that lends itself to becoming a macro game, but once he figures that out, he’s going to be even more fearsome than he is already.

GGPlay – Argue with this pick all you want, but GGPlay has shown flat-out amazing ZvT and ZvZ as of late. There’s no shame in losing to Anytime 1-2. He’s also anchored his team in the Proleague for a very long time.

GoRush – Rush’s play in the OSL was strong enough for me to put him here. He advanced into the Ro8, losing 1-2 to Anytime in a series that could have easily gone 2-0 in the other direction.

Bisu – Bisu, while going 3-0 in his OSL group, managed to qualify for the upcoming MSL. A 1-2 loss to GoodFriend just doesn’t mean enough to condemn the fact that Bisu has the most potential of any young Protoss out there. He is without question the strongest player in his ODT group, and I expect him to make it into the OSL with ease.

Nal_Ra – This is my final controversial choice, but I’m going to ask you to cast aside your love for all things cheesy for just a moment and consider a few things: Ra would have been eliminated from his MSL group if Boxer had not had to go into the military. Ra did not make the last OSL. Ra cannot qualify for the coming OSL. KTF is in last place in the Proleague. Making it into the semifinals of the MSL by virtue of a gift and losing 1-3 to Savior is nice and all, but putting him any higher than #9 would be an affront to all the players that have qualified for multiple leagues and actually advanced by virtue of their own merit.

Jju – Jju might irritate me with his inconsistent play, but he is one of the only players to make and advance past the group stages of both Starleagues all while anchoring Khan in the Proleague. That’s enough for me to name him #10.

---

Jaedong is not on the list not because I'm unaware of him or because I don't think he's currently on fire. He's not on the list because he hasn't done anything--yet. A bunch of Proleague wins and making an MSL is nice, but it's not enough to warrant placing him among players who have performed well against the very stiffest of competition. If Jaedong makes the OSL and/or wins a few games in a Starleague, that's when I'll say, "Yes, yes, yes," but as of right now, it just feels premature. We all saw what happened with Canata. He made both Starleagues and everyone was hailing him as the second coming of Jesus himself... and then he went 0-3, losing to one member of every race. The same policy of "show me something" applies to Free[gm]. I've got my eye on him, but I need more than a feeling to put him in such elite company.

GF, Iris, July, Zergman, Daezang, and Silver are all close calls, but they just don't quite measure up to the ten players I've selected.

Ah very good point about rA's thing with Boxer's leave. Totally forgot about that fact, and his top4 MSL finish is rightfully diminished somewhat.

The only other "questionable" choice I could see is Sea, simply because he hasnt showed that much that was spectacular in the last msl/osl, compared to some of the other players on the list. (haha, the game vs boxer in proleague finals immediately comes to mind for me as a great performance of his ) I kind of feel worried that he chose to use SK Terran because a fan claimed he was too slow of a gamer... but as you say, his raw skill is unmatched for someone his age, and let's not forget that he is like what? 16?

Whatever. At least my opinion is noted. So note this: I think these power rankings will die. First off, DJ will get lazy. Maybe he'll quit, or maybe his rankings will just get increasingly sloppy. Secondly, even if he summons up the resolve to keep these things going for a good while (which I seriously doubt he will), people will just lose interest. May I ask why should I care about DJ's opinion? I know he's a solid player, and that his skill is nothing compared to his knowledge about BW and the scene, but other people know so much more. Maybe it'd be fun to read a news post once in a while, but a permanent feature... for me, too much.

Anyways, just remember I (and a bunch of other dudes before me) called the death of this thing.

And me being a troll? Fuck that. You sure have a short memory. I've posted some worhtless stuff lately, but not exclusively so. And I think that a good bunch of the stuff people think is trollish is just ironic (like when I correct someone's punctuation usage while making the same mistake, then get flamed). Certainly not all of it (sometimes it's just my poor sense of humor), but some.

So I hereby proclaim from this moment on all of my posts will be exceptional. Of course, since I'm doing it because you pissed me off, you still win for straightening me out, so I also say that each of my posts will be better than yours. Man... elitist punk.

You know what would be really annoying? Another person that thinks he's Maddox, but applies it to a specific genre. The internet has enough clones.
Perfect. Plays low-econ, high-econ, plays orthodox, plays funky, plays Mozart, plays Run-DMC. Micro, macro, strategy, management, fundamentals, and balls the size of Brazil. He plays Zerg the way the Xel Naga intended - like a ball of mercury. -HonestTea

What's the point of this power ranking? People will disagree with you anyways....
Shouldn't you be putting your efforts into something more useful. Is it like an opinion column because you dislike the KeSPA? The KeSPA does work from results, you know....

Oh well... At least effort will be going into it and will create discussion.

Whatever may people say, the facts stay: This ranking is disrespectful. Sorry, but I don't think high level players of this caliber should deal with such no-respect. Do your power ranking as you wish, but seriously, remove these personnal quotes. Talk with the facts like you somewhat did a little, but remove your comments.

I've always look foward to this website (I registered just for this). It has always been somehow professionnal and well mannered, and I can't understand how they've decided to let this ranking take the spot on the first page. It makes Tl.net looses credibility, and I don't think anyone who thinks about it for a minute would disagree with me. This is not about your ranking anymore, it's about Tl.net.

Keep it or don't keep it, I don't think anyone care. But if you do keep this ranking, do your job correctly as an Editor. We don't need a subjective point of view of the Korean Pro League scene based on one person's taste.

Thank you
I'll call the guy who will call Nada
