Tho, I wish we could see more of Life. Seen so little these past 2-3months, skillwise where is he in present? No idea actually. We also have Soulkey, i have not seen so much of him tbh. From what ive seen seems to me he is fun to watch to not only gameplay wise but also skillwise All these players are gameplaywise fun and skillwise fun! | ||

Not to take away from his big win or anything, SK definitely deserved it. Still, Innovation is the clear #1 player right now. Also, since this is the power rank I think the list looks good. Personally, I think Life is better than the two zergs above him, but he hasn't justified it for this rank. So glad this feature is back! I don't feel strongly about where to put 1 and 2 on this powerrank, but I think not choking has always been really important to powerrank in BW. Comparing soulkey to those players was also not fair, since in BW soulkey was extremely formidable and consistent. I think 1 and 2 are closer than the powerrank lets on, but I don't despise how they ended up ordering them. If we are talking purely about consistency, Flash is in the running too. Getting knocked out early is something that can happen to anyone. It definitely matters a lot to go deep in individual leagues in terms of our perceptions of player skill. Innovation's games vs Flash weren't quite walk overs. | ||

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. At least give some reasons as to why you want to call zerg underpowered, or else prepare for a shelling. Besides, please don't bring in balance into a power rank. There are many consistently top performing zergs, just because they don't actually win the whole tournament it doesn't mean they are underpowered. Besides, the game is still being figured out. Do not agree with Hero at #10 at all, mvp has a much better claim imo. However I would definitely pick Innovation over Soulkey. His wins all the way to the finals were in dominating fashion. Soulkey got there on a series of close shaves and narrow victories. No doubt soulkey is still an excellent player and easily #2 in my book, but really you'd have to be biased to think he can really beat an Innovation in top form. Hope to see Life rise back to top5, or maybe even top 3. Was so impressed with him after the first HotS MLG. | ||

'' but I think soulkey proved to be the better all around player''. No this list is right. Innovation deserves to be in the number one place. Better all around player, are you kidding? Soulkey did the same roach bane all-in and that makes him all around player? lol. facepalm.. | ||

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. HerO should be ranked higher than Mvp. However, He should probably be behind Bomber and Kangho. | ||

Especially in the first game where both players played the most standard openings you could ask for, Innovation showed that he was clearly and definitively better at RorO's supposed greatest strength: solid macro play. This sudden realization alone must have been a blow to Symbol's pride. Amazing how much a little random variation can change the entire narrative about a player. Imagine if the GSL finals between Innovation and Soulkey were a bo5 - would this paragraph be under Soulkey's entry as well? What if Roro and Innovation played in a bo7 instead and he also pulled off the 4-3 comeback? Not as bad as what happens in some team sports (see http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/8842329/bill-barnwell-weekend-divisional-games) because at least the players have no one to blame for getting 3-0ed or reverse 4-0ed in these cases, but still an interesting thought experiment. | ||

I definitely agree with HerO for #10. His results in Proleague have been fantastic, and winning WCS America + placing high in Dreamhack show he's just on form at the moment and playing really consistently. | ||
