Also DRG and MMA both won Bo1's against good players. I love DRG but really, that's not a measurement of skill. We saw how MMA ended up when he had to play a bo3 against one of the four players.

World championship which had bo3's, not bo1's. You can't really judge from one month, especially not the GTSL because the format puts some players at a huge disadvantage( for example, Prime is not very good so MarineKing has huge pressure on him everytime they play since they rely on him. oGs is.. not great so MC has huge pressure on him everytime he plays.) I love the GTSL but people don't judge Power Rank by bo1's in BW and they definitely shouldn't in a volatile game like Starcraft2 since bo1's favour the worse player. Also to the poster above you, do you have any clue what Power Rank means? Anyway you're right, good luck with the idea eventhough it'll just be like Just Desserts writeup. Terribly biased. MC has won in TL MKP has not. The pressure that you talk of is something that MMA has to go through 10x this. I don't personally have MMA or MKP in my korean top 10 but to say MKP is top 4 in a power ranking is borderline rediculous. And Really, flamewheel doesnt use proleague results in his power rankings of broodwar? Come on you're either trolling or talking completely out of your ass. Power rankings are always biased, look at ESPN's power rankings. Do they always have the higher win percentage team at the top? No, they have who they feel and from what they have seen is the strongest team of the week or month. You know that all teams on SPL play every week right?And the guys on top 10 of Power Rank play every week on SPL+individual tournaments like OSL and MSL. Not just one big tournament, where if you are knocked out early, you have no chance to prove what you are able to do til next month. If you are counting TL to choose MC and MKP ranks, you should consider MMA and DRG too.If not, GSLWC was a month ago, and MKP was 2nd place, i don't think he dropped below 10th in such a short time.
You are taking my content out of context (unintentionally) I am not under the impression that MKP could not be considered 6-10. I was arguing the original quotes lumping of MKP with MC/Nestea/MVP which to me is rediculous. I just dont have MKP in my personal top 10 but I don't exactly disagree with those who do. Also, I was not using the quantity of proleague games but I was arguing the Bo1 format they use (he said BW doesn't use Bo1 results).
The GSLWC was a 16 man (not 32) including 8 non-koreans (not going to argue that they aren't skilled its just a difference of opponents). MKP went 1 and 1 against koreans (beating MC were he played fantastic and being overrun by MVP) and it is impossible to compare Koreans vs. Non-Koreans so I tend to shy away from the GSLWC results. Basically, in my mind, in the last 2 months MKP has beaten MMA and MC and basically noone else while not advancing in Code S.

i'm curious. is this for april or may? cause may has not ended yet.
This is an overall opinion.This is who you think the top fifteen players are right now in the GSL. You can look on past performances in the past year if you want, but it's all up to you. This isn't a monthly thing and more of a look in to see how the SC2 community sees and places the players in the GSL, so it's not just a singular month you're looking at.
Also thanks for everyone, again (for like the 100th time), on all your lists that you've sent in. I will give more stats later when I calculate a substantial amount.

And this last month InCa advanced to the final, does it make him the 2nd best player & best protoss?
MC this last month fell to the Up&Down matches and has only beaten Ryung... and is still the best protoss / player.

Where are you going with this? If I were to do rankings today InCa wouldnt be in my top 15 and MC would still be my number 2 behind Nestea

When you post the final list could you also tell us some of the extremes such as lowest rank on a list that MC got? Or number of lists that didn't include player X (the guy who didn't put MKP in his top ten piqued my curiosity).

People who put HuK in the top 15 of Korea really aren't interested in your words or logic.

You're entitled to your opinion, I think that the super tourny will prove you wrong however. Only time will tell.

Well, it is a fan power rank, so there should be a lot of variation I guess.
GSL Super Tournament Spoiler:

+ Show Spoiler +I think MC is still top 3, I could see him beating either MVP or Nestea actually. I could I suppose see Nestea, Alicia and MC being the top three. whereas MC can hold his own in all his matchups but underestimated his opponent this time.
Edit: But yeah the longer this is left open the more skewed it's gonna be by the super tournament.
