I dunno, with the team losing LG sponsor and their 2 LoL teams not doing well, they must be under huge financial stress. That is probably why they couldn't keep First, Yoda, LosirA who were their mainstay in team leagues along with Yongwha. | ||

Well it kinda is when there is no other tournament going on, lol. I mean - TY didn't qualify for Code A. Would anyone argue with him deserving the spot on January power rank? | ||

It's mindboggling how these "top protoss" forget things like this over and over again. If he had a couple of ht or archons he woulda just won the game with this silly strat. Alright, now before we jump to silly conclusions. Misclicks happen to everybody. For all you know he clicked to make it with a probe and then misclicked the probe somewhere else, cancelling the process of building it It shouldn't happen but it does. And not just to protoss players. | ||

He didn't forget the templar; he just couldn't tech up because of Flash knocking on his door in every step. With your reasoning, you can also say that Hero forgot to hit the upgrades but that's also not the case. Flash's map presence in that game was amazing, killing off every single hidden pylons that Hero can use to counter attack Flash. | ||

There are all kinds of strange players out there. Stardust did much better on a foreign team than a Kespa team. Violet did much better solo than he ever did on MVP. Soulkey has been playing fairly lackluster since he joined SKT. Innovation has played exactly the same when he went from Soul to teamless to Acer. Jaedong was terrible on T8 but over the course of 8 months became one of the best Zerg players on EG. Being on a good team is of course always a positive thing, but who is to say that was the reason Maru went 6-0 in PL as the main reason. No one disputes the fact that Kespa teams are specialized in PL and are by far the best in that tournament. But sometimes it's more complicated than that. Was Maru bad before he joined Jin Air? No, he got an OSL, three semi-finals in his last WCS event. But compare that to Soulkey. Both did well in WCS, both won tournaments last year, but Soulkey hasn't done nearly as well as you expect a former ACE player would, but you don't see people blaming his team for his mediocre results. | ||

Flash's map presence in that game was amazing, killing off every single hidden pylons that Hero can use to counter attack Flash. He clearly forgot it. I think HerO cut upgrades that he might have planned due to Flash's pressure, no Protoss goes into that stage of the game without a plan for some splash. His Robo looked reactive so I don't think he was trying to sneak out Collosus tech when he could. | ||

But we should rate a player, based on performance, the player he is against. Not because he is not in individual tournament. | ||
