pssh, had DRG made it to Busan Life would never have become relevant

Because Classic is the hero we deserve, but not the one we need right now. So we'll hate and underate him, because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a dutiful cannonrusher. A Fan favourite destroyer. A Chin Toss.

it was, which is what im talking about, realize how crushed he was failing to make it to Busan in both GSTL and GSL, had he made it, he prob would have gone on a ridiculous reign for at least another few months, maybe actually winning that iron squid or making it to blizz cup finals for example.

Well he'd wreck San (and DRG) at any time of the day. That's a good start already.

Or just kick out the Protoss players altogether and add Maru in the 4th slot.
Just as badass, but more fun :x

Thats actually better, makes it easier for the protosses (Rain, herO, PartinG) to win since two of INnoVation, Maru, Life or Dark (3 god tier, one demi-god tier) will be knocked out

The Dark hype is astronomical. I'm not ready to count Solar out until he bombs in the gsl, could just be an SPL thing. Soulkey's fine guys, really. Dream hasn't done a whole lot to convince me he's gotten over his TvT problem and his TvP wasn't quite as impressive as his TvZ, Yonghwa should have beaten him.
I think PartinG is in the tier below. As much as I love him he's not of the same class as the other players. Although he is capable of beating some of the higher tier players like Maru (duh). Same goes for Soulkey. Not totally convinced. I also think Rain and Maru should be switched but based on recent results I won't really fight over it.
Anyway hopefully Rain wins this season. I also want to see a Life vs Inno showdown to determine the best player in the world.

Consistency factored in heavily to my rank with more weight given to recent results.
PartinG has essentially been a top-tier protoss since early 2012. He's a Nestea Award recipient and made ro16+ all of last year. He has a comparable win rate to the protoss in his tier. I might even consider him more solid overall than herO, who's only ever made 1 code S ro8 and even fell out of the gsl in s3 last year. For a player of herO's caliber, he seems to have a glaring weakness in PvP. PartinG does not have any obvious flaws imo. Not to mention, he has the best micro of any protoss. Unlike Rain, he also made both Korean leagues for 2015. All together I think he's earned his keep.
Soulkey is just off a semi-final at IEM (beat Rain along the way). Despite what people say, I thought he had a good 2014 as well. Didn't win anything, but he only played in Korea where he was very consistent. He's extremely tenacious as well which is an important quality in this type of tournament.
