I know, I´m pretty late to the party, but since I was watching the game at that time, I´m responding now:
Stephano and Nani are pretty much without a doubt the top 2. HuK has won 3 premiers, so I put him in as well. After that, there are 4 guys with 2 premiers: MaNa, Nerchio, ThorZaIN, Idra. Of those, Nerchio won by far the most money and MaNa has the most overall medals, so I put them in as well. Neither Scarlett or Sen has ever won a premier, so they still have some way to go.

Wasn't Take talking about how Mana will find a team very quickly? Guess whatever talks have happened didn't work out as planned.

But Mana used to have best PvT in europe. He was crazy good. He may have a chance.
JD may lsoe to Stardust which results in a possible mana vs Stardust match which is PvP so Mana could win mana 2-0 puma never forget I only remember Mana vs Firecake now. I gave up wanting to watch that game when i read it was hours long. I think its the right desicion. But i watched almost the whole Soulkey vs patience game though...
reality?

it's a bit unfair though since scarlett became good at a time where foreigners were very far behind (the others were relevant when foreigeners could match up against koreans more evenly), and sen has had far fewer opportunities to win premiers than the others.

It was during the same IEM, in which Puma won 3-0 against MC in the final. And even before that, MaNa made NaDa look like a 2nd tier foreigner at Assembly. It was beautiful.

Mana won't stay teamless for long.

Sen's multiple 3rd place finishes (Most notably at NASL's and Blizzcons) and his 1st at ESL this year are more impressive than most of the wins Mana, Nerchio and Idra ever had.

ECL I believe
but yeah, Sen should be the #3 foreigner or so

I hope LotV adds more hero units, they make the game deeper and the micro is so exciting to watch. T could have the Science Vessel and Z could get the Overmind.

To be fair, that game DOES take a lot of memory space.

Aligulac has polt at 73% to beat Mana in a BO3. Argh!

Damn I missed MaNa vs Jaedong, was it good?

Khaldor would agree with you, he just uploaded a video about that, I personally dislike hero units.

Polt is weak against Soul Trains and Soul Planes. If Mana realizes this, he could win.

You can´t give out those positions based on potential though. It´s unfortunate for those two, but until they win a premier, they can´t really compare to those, who have done it twice. On top of that, MaNa is also ahead in earnings in comparism to both of them, although both of them are massively ahead of their respective scenes and get a lot of money from american-only-tournaments/ early TeSL.

So with Jaedong out of the tournament, give me someone to cheer for?
