how the fuck can you put rA so down just because you don't like him and he gives protoss everywhere a good name...
They first ignore you. After they laugh at you. Next they will fight you. In the end you will win.

I guess it really depends on what the goal of Power Rank is.....if its for a somewhat accurate depiction of the pro scene but heavily influenced by satirical and cynical remarks then id say its fine the way it is. Dj has a pretty good writing style and i like his bone dry cutting remarks.

Having a team vote on would a) lead to hours and hours of debating over who goes into the positions of 4-10 b) end having an executive decision probably being made and we'd probably see Dj's result anyways

Overall i like it alot

He finished 3rd this time, but nevermind, i see your point. But i think this ranking is not only about achievements (we have kespa for that... somehow) it's about the way you play, how impressive you are, it also depends a lot of your opponents. losing with honors to a famous opponent might be better than winning barely against doggi. At least i think that's the way it works.
At least, when i look it that way, it makes more sense. There were a lot of people saying Sea or GGPlay were really on fire and able to win the last OSL, they had impressive records, Bisu showed excellent performance in group stage too.
And MSL, despite its excellent players pool, was a bit disapointing. Ra lost to Boxer really easily in a game everyone was waiting for, Silver got far but his wins were not spectacular at all and in the end, Savior as the monster he is, came and crushed everyone.

In terms of show, OSL was better, so i guess OSL players got rewarded for that!

I dont see a reason ranking anytime higher than NaDa. Explaining it with the better play of anytime in the finals is making it even worse. Where did anytime play better than NaDa in the finals ? Game 5 was a rape , wasn it ?

Whatever.. i dont mind the rankings at all, especially cause it's not even the question if the ranking is accurate or right, after all it's only the creators opinion, so i dont even know why we should all discuss it, you can barely change someones mind..

Anyone who puts Savior on #1 and lets RA take the piss is all right in my book. I'm condoning this sort of action and fully support its continued existence.

Put some smiles on my face too ;P.

I think you should compile the flames (posts and, if any, pms) and categorically mock them

I agree with most of the rank (dont know about some spots since i cant follow all the games now that my pc is broke).


but you bash some players for not getting results, and you put anytime over NaDa who is exactly getting results. His way to the final was easier, sure. But he won when it matters, against anytime (who we agree is a monster P).

Too bad you cant use DTs in all games in a bo5 series

lala.


ps: im smarter than you : D

I like the feature but agree that if you're TOO personal when you write it about the players it makes it sound trivial. Just change the language you're using, make it a BIT more serious. I think that would help a lot.

Edit: a lot of these quotes had positive remarks as well, i just selected what i thought showed a problem.

worse than it could have. A front page feature should be well mannered in my eyes.

If this list, like this site is serious, then you shouldn`t have said it. It is totally disrespectful (IMO).

Midas is a looser...wouldn't rated him on 4th...but I think it's just coz I dislky his style..or his name...or w/e
seriously, it's very difficult to set up a rating like this, especially the places 5-10 are not easy to rate

Oh, that's the plan.

For now, however, I feel as if I have to clear up a glaring misconception regarding this feature: my personal opinions--as far as playstyle and entertainment value of a player--play a truly minimal role in how I rank the players. Obviously some bias is going to seep into the listing, because that's the nature of being, well, human, but I assure you that I am doing my best to give an objective list. I rank the players first; the snarky comments come later. I do, as I noted in the news post, examine much more than statistics. I look at what leagues those statistics came from, who was playing whom, what map was used, and my own assessment of the level of play. It's not science, by any means, but it should be pretty accurate.

That said, let's consider the case of Ra. Many people claim that he doesn't deserve to be #9, and for now, I'll concede that point. But does he belong in the top 5? Not. A. Chance. Consider: he only advanced from his MSL group because Boxer joined the army. Otherwise, he was eliminated. He's not even in the OSL (and he didn't make the ODT this season, either), and KTF is an absolute joke in the Proleague this season. So are you really quibbling over whether he should be #6 or #9, or are you just angry over me not liking your favorite player? That is bias.

I can concede that maybe some of you would rearrange the list a bit (Nada before Anytime, most notably) or add a particular player or swap one with the other. That's just the nature of something like this; differences will exist. But if you honestly see any glaring flaws, I would encourage you to do a bit more research into why you feel that way and, evidence existing, share those reasons with me.
