How many times does it take for Soulkey to beat Innovation so that people see that he is just better? Power ranks are nothing but subjective. If beating someone in a best of 7 matchup is not enough to prove that that player is better, I am not sure what is to be honest...

A 4-3 result in a BO7 tells us almost nothing about the players abilities relative to each other.

No, it tells us that the players are very close to each other in skill.

And in my opinion if two players are considered for the top spot then you give the title to the person that is the ace of the best proleague team and that has the positive head to head and that won the finals. If only out of tradition.


I re read my post and you are correct I worded that badly which may cause confusion, it should have read "a 4-3 result in BO7 tells us almost nothing about who is the better player, other than that it might be close".

Ace of the best proleague team does not seem relevant, the best player on the worst team could be the best player in the world.
Red and yellow are all I see

Just look at Rain, if you take away all his proleague games, there's just too little to go on to determine if he deserves a spot on the list. I'm not saying Rain doesn't deserve to be on the list, he obviously does, but this ranking system will favor proleague players over everyone else.

People don't seem to understand that ProLeague has been the flagship tournament of Korean progaming for a decade. It is the tournament the Koreans care about the most, over MSL and OSL in the past, and I'm guessing that is still the case now.

And yet it misses half of the Korean gamers making it count for so much quite unfair.


It's not exactly proleagues fault though. They can't help being the premier league in korea.

Judge by the audience, i really wouldn't say that.
also, If you can't deliver in BO series, then you are obviously not one of the best players.
Rain at least accomplish an OSL, even long ago.
Flash has accomplished nth in both WOL and HOTS. And i see it continue for a while. And yet, he ranked 3 in the power rank. So lets say flash was in semifinal in OSL would make him obviously the No.1.

That is a big claim but who suddenly decided that? No doubt this was true in BW but how did it suddenly raise so big in sc2?

top 4 spots are a no brainer, 5 to 10 is debatable. if the power rank was more skillbased as opposed to result-oriented i wouldnt have hero or symbol in the top 10. fantasy should have gotten a consideration and jangbi should have been no10 instead of hero, that being said heros been putting up some solid results lately. all in all its a pretty solid list


Fantasy, seriously? LOL you are insane dude and I'm a SKT fan

have you seen fantasy's games? If that's top 10 in the world material I don't even know what to say. 4th best T in PL doesn't even make you a top 10 player in PL with all the Z/P around, never mind top 10 in the world including WCS.

17-15 (53.13%) that is his win rate in HOTS, 9 wins - 8 losses (52.94%) in PL specifically. It says more about how there are barely any good T's in PL than Fantasy being good.

Fantasy looked terrible vs JYP.


ok and flash had 2 terrible pl rounds in a row(he had close to a 20-30% winrate), your point being? before ty had his breakout round i had to convince newbs like this guy about how good he is. ull understand in time

i need some help picking my last 2 players, should i go w/ effort+4pter(most likely hyvaa) or herojoin + 3pter(most likely ty)?


I think you should take herO, but for 3 pts, you can have some other players that are better or as good as TY. Cure / Brown for example


brown is gonna lose vs hyvaa and skt is stacked so he wont get alot of playtime, and imo ty is better than cure


you should listen to ppl who placed higher than you every round so far. Hyvaa isnt so good, the only reason he gets points is because hes stx's main zerg so of course he gets playtime. while cure vs ty, if we just look at WoL + hots stats cure has been more solid and he has way better chances to get a multi kill (1-2-3) since hes a starter for t8 + the facts thats hes best terran on t8. while effort vs hero you know hero is more consistant.

TY at 3 pts is only worth on proleague format when he can both play and ACE.

I read your post, he shouldn't be in the " close but no cigar " category because he's not close. his record is bad, his games look bad. I'd love to see him look good but he doesn't look good.

no, I've watched all his games and I think he plays poorly. especially his macro, It's just awful.

there's a reason you're the only one in the entire thread lobbying for a spot for him on the list.

Kespa fanbois decided that it is a premier league obviously

It's been the premier league forever, and nothing has changed. It's not just about KeSPA or ProLeague itself even. It's teamleagues. Team Leagues have always gotten more attention in Korea both from the players and the people. Why? Because it's about the collective success. Every player has the added pressure of not letting down his/her team. Some players have even mentioned that they had to sacrifice individual practice time for team leagues. I find it hard to believe that anything has changed just because the platform is different; the mentality is the same. Just as you derisively say "Kespa fanbois decided that it is," I can say that "ESF SC2 noobie fanbois decided that it isn't," but that's not an argument at all. I at least have history and facts to fall back upon. The skill level is certainly high calibre; just look at the GSL finalists, what league do the play in? Or is GSL a faulty measure of skill now too? Please.
