Yeah the power rank is somewhat on lines with what I'd imagine it would be. I sort of knew opening this link that the writers would go Innovation > Soulkey > Flash somewhat in spite of GSL results for proleague.
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
hahaha Hana Daetoo good memories. Haven't seen Flash killed like that late game TvT (maybe against Hiya's infinite wraiths).
People underrate HerO so much. He's not bad as people make him out to be. He is WCS NA champ after all.

Hero lol, i dont even think Hero can compete in Code A, Soulkey should be above innovation tho.... innovation did well at SPL, but Soulkey too +GSL champ. Too much type for innovation, Soulkey beat sOs to the final, innovation beat symbol, sorri symbol just cheese to much and never impress me.
Considering his PL performance HerO could compete in Code S if he performs. But that's the thing with him, on a good day he makes everyone look like a scrub and then the next day he somehow manages to look like a completely different, much much worse player.

Power Rank-discussions... oh how I used to love this. ^____________^
Don't care enough about SC2 to get involved though, but it's still fun to read. :D It's okay, just tell me how Chelsea is going to do next season now that Mourinho is back? Lemme put it like this; choo choo, here comes the rape train! :D I fully expect him to make Chelsea a majestic team again.
nope.

Yeah ! The return of the power rank 
I don't care about SC2 but I like reading it :D
|
Oh yes this is awesome! and lol at people crying about Hero in Top 10. I think that his results in proleague have been fairly impressive :>
|
Soulkey should be no. 1 as he delivered when it mattered the most. Innovation is good, and his games more flashy, but nevertheless, he lost in the finals.

One thing is for sure, watching a HerO game is never boring.

I know Bogus is awesome and he has a solid micro/macro but in the end Soulkey defeated him. And it wasn`t just in sc2 he had Bogus since BW times! How is Soulkey no2 ???
And yes I disagree with picking Parting and sOs in the top 10 - they are awesome but not that awesome. Her0 deserved a lot more especialy if you based this on Proleague results.
Also I would have placed Rain over Flash any day of the year! (sry Flash fans).
I do hope after WCS finals we will have a better view of the sc2 rank system thou.

I agree with this list. Innovation is better than Soulkey. Just look at the players they had to play to reach the finals.
Yes, Innovation bummed out in the last four games of the finals, but that was his only error in the entire GSL season. Sure, it's a huge deal, but I still rank him above Soulkey, who, as said in the article, always won his series 4-3, 3-2 etc., never really looking dominating.
I expect Innovation to win the WCS season finals and be ranked #1 next month.
|
Yay ! Power rank is back ! Fairly accurate for this month imo.
|
I agree with the list!!~~ It is very difficult to say with the clarity and logic that anyone else deserves to be there...
|
life is still the best, hes been the best player for half a year, lost in group of death in incredibly stupid way and won the only other tournament he participated in, now hes rank 7? lol
everything else is fine
|
I always loved the power ranks. Thanks so much for this <3
|
Stephano should be #01. At least he is in my heart.

Yes Power Rank !
I'm completely Ok with the first four, INnoVatioN is definitely credible at first place though he lost in the finals. Soulkey did show great composure and nerves management (I would say exceptionnal), but I wouldn't put him ahead of INnoVatioN just on the back of this finals. Flash and Rain at #3 and #4 is completely normal imo.
Then, I just don't know how to rank Symbol, RorO and Life... Life being few places under Symbol is weird... But the wins Symbol managed to pull off against INnoVatioN make for a solid argument (while Life got quite dismantled in the GoD). Then, it's not just a few wins (or losses) that defines a player as a whole (INno wouldn't be #1 otherwise) so I don't really know.
From #8 and downward, I don't really know how to rank. HerO seems a pretty solid #10, though debatable (me want Bomber in this, but meh, quite not the fit  )
|
Welcome back! Pretty decent rank too
|
Bogus in number one is accurate, he clearly still is the best player in the world, even with that spectacular choke in the finals.
I like that Flash is up there as well.
|
Placing Life behind Flash doesn't really seem accurate to me. SK is really good at ZvT but his play still don't really impress me as much as some of Life's ZvT. Life vs Innovation first game was really close. If not for lack of overseer Life would have gained massiv advantage and likely won. Innovation is also overhyped imo. In the end I think the there's not enough result to draw a comparision. I have a feeling that Life and Flash will overtake both Soulkey and Innovation soon.

I am happy to see the come back of Power Rank, but it hurts quite a lot as Bisu is missing
