I find this list a little odd. I do get annoyed at how the writers here seem to only be able to remember the last tournament and its results and not see a bigger picture, even if it is only a 1-2 month period. Leenock should be top 5 no arguments. Ehh, maybe in the close but no cigar area. Dreamhack is less notable than any of the WCS regions. Losing in the ro32 was understandable since it was the group of death, but then he went and lost to Bbyong (who he really should have beat) on his way back to code S. He hasn't been looking like the powerhouse he used to for FXO either in the GSTL. | ||

I remember poring over these so much back in BW, and loved seeing the arrows going up and down showing how much each player rose or dropped since the previous month. | ||

No Forgg bullshit, giving Flash and Life deserved spots not relying purely on results; ballsy enough to put Innovation above Soulkey (agree 100%). Superb picks overall (edit: And again coming from a monk based article  ). | ||

I don't know what happens in the future, maybe Inno takes down Soulkey, maybe he is better, but man this last month was definitely Soulkey's month. Again about this mistake about 3 mediavacs. This is a game. Those mistakes are the difference between the winner and looser. | ||

The one thing I'd change is Roro in there. Very recently he's not been playing well at all and I think I'd rank Mvp above him and put Roro at #11 for the moment. | ||

His play was terrible at the very end of WoL and in HotS he hasn't proven himself against top competition yet. Beating up foreigners is nice and all but not worthy of consideration when talking about who's the best in the world. The reason his play was terrible is because he didn't try very hard. He did just enough to get the Nestea award. Mvp is very money and award motivated, he said so many times in interviews. When there is no money on the line he doesn't care. Same reason he never does well on team league. Look at him now, winning easy money in EU and adding another premier tournament into his list of achievements. I have no doubt that if mvp tried to stay in korea, he would have been able to make top 8. Bomber made it, so it is not that hard. But why make $2k in Korea where as it is much easier to make $20k in EU. He was the first A-teamer who made the switch to SC2 from BW when the competition was soft and there was plenty of money. Now he is the first top WoL player who switched to EU for the very same reason. That is just how he is, smart and practical. If getting into top 8 power rank meaning earning $2k while not being to attend season's finals, and being placed at #11 meaning making $20k and at least another $5k at the season's final, then of course mvp would rather be at #11. | ||

Kangho almost won vs SoS and he 3-0'ed Bomber I know, Hero is from teamliquid but come on lol, no way he is the 10th best player in the world. ''Life's only results this month were losing to NAKSEO in the GSTL and 2 - 0ing MarineKing in GSL. (But at this point, is 2 - 0ing MarineKing in ZvT really an accomplishment?)'' Of course, Life didn't play anything else. You must not watch hero play lol | ||

There was hardly any serious competition in WCS America, just look at how deep Revival went. you make it sound like WCS Europe was anymore difficult lol. I would say they are both on par or so. That and HerO competed in PL and did well enough there while mvp hasn't made much of an appearance. Great list! Agree with most of it. I've heard horror stories about his games so glad he's not on the list XD | ||

Curious for the Season Finals. SK vs Innovation is definitely a possibility, and I want to see who the victor will be. | ||

GSTL unfortunately hasn't got the same pull, but also it's not a constant source of comparison between esf and kespa so things are blurry. I'm still waiting for a consolidation of it all, but that would require them to get along, so I'm not waiting forever for that. Life at #7 is interesting. Feels like an attempt to not let go of his success not in May. Sure I can see Life winning anything at any time, but still he didn't. Hopefully MVP spites you for making him #11. The last proper power rank he was in went something like "MVP is only here because he beat Flash. We'll never see him again." =P | ||
