Mhmm. The ranking goes

1. Soulkey
2. Jaeding
3. soo
4. TRUE
5. Lifuu


Placing Jaedong in second for the sake of second doesn't work when he's doing so poorly.

You are forgetting that Hyun is the #1 zerg player in the world. It's proven in wcs rankings.

Zerg is pretty unstable so the list quickly breaks down. I'd go:

1) soO
2) Solar
3) Soulkey
4) Life
5) TRUE

ByuL, Rogue, DRG, RorO and perhaps Effort could easily break into this list given a few nice results imo. That's how unstable it is. Deep down I feel Soulkey is still #1 in skill, but he's failed in results too many times this year regardless of how hard his road always is.

Uhhhh did you really just rank JD over soO? Pls tell me your /s was on


You see how Jaedong got out-microed by Leenock and out-macroed by Huk, how can he not be put above triple finalist soO, semi-finalist TRUE, and the guy who just won out of the open bracket he as eliminated in?

so, 3rd time asking, why did they put Snute up to play right away after the herO match, when huk and bunny had been waiting for a long time? Why did they chose to not give Snute any time to rest, they even got him to do a interview...wtf?



Due to time constraints I understand why unfortunately they couldn't give him a large break, but they should not have interviewed him after his match with herO.


Yeha but HuK and Bunny was thru long before snute and hero even finished. it doesnt make any sense what so ever


punishment for playing his snore host style.

if you want to be the big name winning through slow strategy you shouldn't get a break just because you like to play hour matches.


So It's a punishment for his playstyle? wow


what do you honestly expect people to tell you?

No one answered when you asked 3 times because the answer is obvious.

The tournament has time constraints, and as Snute is a white man winning against Korean players, they're going to want to interview him because of retarded, racist "hype"

Again, if you want to play hour long matches where you don't do a fucking thing except make swarm hosts, turtle on your static d and occasionally pull things out of their army with vipers in a tournament setting then you should ABSOLUTELY expect little to no time to rest between matches, ESPECIALLY when the brackets for your tournament are being held up by you playing the aforementioned style.

The tournament is about finishing the tournament, not about getting Snute enough time to rest so that he can play comfortably against someone else.




BM much?

Time constraints? So if they had played HuK vs Bunny first, then Life vs Snute, it would take more time than playing Snute vs Life first then HuK vs Bunny? Math is hard right? lol

ZvZ are going to be fast anyway, its about giving the guys equal playing fields...

theres nothing wrong with having strong opinions and heated discussions about swarm hosts/game design or whatever, im participating in that as well, but calling the entire scene racist and making factually wrong statements ("snute did nothing but build swarm hosts," lol, game 1 which he won never happened?) in a ladderesque fit of rage is just absurd and embarrassing

To people responding to my tentative zerg ranking (since I don't feel like quoting you all) I agree that Rogue, Solar and DRG are certainly up there. I would rank Solar over Byul (putting him into the top 5). I think Rogue is a little inconsistent and DRG has just recently hit an awesome form and I want to wait and see if he maintains it
