I would agree if WCS NA was hero's only accomplishment this month. He has been one of the top performers in SPL, matching and even outdoing many of the players on the list. He is by far the best choice for that spot imo. | ||

Eh, he's 6-4 in Proleague in May, it's not bad but it's not groundbreaking either. TY, Zest or free have far better records. | ||

Which is why I said that the GSL finals means a lot less than people think, since all 3 of them have won a GSL finals. Now, Soulkey is incredibly good, but despite taking a WCS KR finals, I'd still rank Innovation above him.

After all, the upcoming season finals has a higher prize pool!! (Though, I think we can safely say that the KR Ro16 is considerably stronger than the season finals Ro16!). But, assuming Soulkey and Innovation both do well (Innovation is going to ezmode his group btw, 3 zergs? Oh god...) there SHOULD be a rematch. If there isn't a rematch, it's because either one or both of the players dropped out to a lesser player. Another thing worth noting for the Soulkey vs Innovation rank 1 debate... In chess, when a player wins a tournament, he doesn't suddenly become the best player in the world, even though he beat everyone else in a series. That's what the purpose of the rankings are. FIDE rankings for Chess Winning a series is important, but if you lose every other game to the guy, then it doesn't mean that much. Of course, Soulkey has proved that he can stand against Innovation, but there are just too few games between the two to rely solely on the WCS KR finals. Innovation's wins against others trumps the 4-3 victory Soulkey had. | ||

Pretty much agree with the placements, although it's weird seeing Life so low. | ||

I think soulkey justified himself as a really great player under pressure and innovation proved that he needs to work on that part of his game. Innovation might have looked more dominant in the games he won, but I think soulkey proved to be the better all around player ^This. This this this. Innovation may be able to win in an all out macro game most of the time, but that doesn't by any means mean that he is a better player. I think that what is even more impressive was the comeback, no ordinary player, and not Innovation, would be able to have held his cool. In the previous GSL matches with Innovation, he never was actually tested by being down in a series, or by having early pressure applied to the extend Soulkey did. If Innovation were to work on reacting to early pressure, then perhaps I would understand putting him as #1. rOrO's games were mostly macro oriented, and the games Innovation lost to Soulkey were early pressure. Also as a zerg player, I feel like zerg is still a bit underpowered. Yes, I know that a zerg just won GSL again, but the overall tournament winrates state otherwise. Also, I would like to see matches between Losira/Kangho, HerO, and Mvp, because that is an extremely close call imo. Normally I would say HerO would lose, but he has been doing great recently. | ||
