Demuslim needs to shut up about the whole Major copying Koreans down to a teeth. YES he likes to study korean build orders, but his mid/late game is not comparable to any top koreans at all.
Also how do you predict Major to win when Snute has had an insane TvZ?
Also was Brendan the only player who actually researched Snute's TvZ style?

The issue with MajOr is that some people rank him using his actual perceived skill, perceived through tournament results, while others rank him using his potential skill, which I guess is pretty high.

well keep in mind i'm talking completely out of my HotS ass as i don't have a real clue of what happened after that in the foreigner scene, hence my sig. but yeah, i generally tend to rank players by potential, not by average performance, so Major would have to be somewhere close to the top.

the ranking was definitely done with current form in mind with some exceptions, it's quite coherent

He isn't even top 1 in copa america, Neeb is far better, Serral probably as well, FireCake not even funny since the guy is... French!! Lambo/Elazer and HuK it's arguable

The power rank was almost entirely based on their LotV results, of which MajOr has very little. He struggled in Copa America, and his qualification came with a couple of sloppy sets which made me think he had promise (which I noted in my writing) but because of his repeated failures in WCS last year I was cautious and placed him low. He's performed well today, so he ends up looking underrated, but that reasoning is completely logical and is not contradicted by the reality we have observed.

drogo would only be #3 on copa america. theres no other way around it
major was top3~10 at the EU ladder during the race btw

This game is starting to feel like G1 again. I guess Snute is in a bit worse of a spot now.

I think people shitting on the PR should try doing their own and see if they don't look silly at some points

yeah, fair enough. i don't even know what Copa America is. it just sounds very wrong to me that Major would be almost at the bottom in a tournament filled with foreigners but as i said, i have no idea wtf i'm talking about when it comes to sc2 scene nowadays. i can't put a face to about 5-10 names in this bracket.

Interesting faith in BLs from Snute, is that really common nowadays ? I thought everybody went for ultras and cracklings in ZvT.

More importantly, realising that doing a PR before writing the games is harder than doing it after you know all the results
