It´s a power rank for a month, not a single series. If Innovation appears to be the better player for a longer stretch of time, then it absolutely makes sense to rank him above a guy who beat him. If you want the latter, you should follow the inofficial world champion thread, where the last win gets you the title, and not consistency. And it´s ok like that, because it´s a joke.

I like the power rank. It feels like the gossip colloms in magazines. Light to read but always entertaining.
I had a good night of sleep.

I remember when Power Ranks used to get me really worked up. Now just seeing Flash's name is enough for me.

I think the battle for number 1 spot is debatable. I have no issue of it going to Innovation, but like some of the others here, I did not quite like the write-up on Soulkey, which I felt were rather demeaning, and unnecessary.

Points to consider:

- Soulkey was a beast towards the end of BW, a contender for individual leagues
- Soulkey's recent SPL results are impressive
- Soulkey's past GSL runs before this were rather consistent RO8 twice (almost as good as Innovation's). Also, he even 4-0 Life in one of the RO16 games.
- Soulkey's overall play in the last GSL may be slightly worse than innovation, but still solid (the game against sOs was a team-kill, and should not really been looked too much into).

Hence, I don't think comparing him to Seed, Sniper and Jjajki are fair at all.

"And especially in the finals, it seemed as if Innovation had lost the championship rather than that Soulkey had won it" - I don't agree with this 'perception' (which I have explained many times in my previous posts). And even if it was true that Innovation had lost the championship, then this sole important factor disqualifies him from being Number 1.

Ultimately, I feel that the reasons given to justify Innovation being Number 1, and Soulkey being Number 2, rather unsatisfactory. My suggestion for future PR write-ups is make it short and simple, and cut out unnecessary, controversial subjective views. Whilst PR should provoke debate, I think PR should also remain fair and reasonable in the justifications made.

That said, I look forward for the next PR.

In Dota ranks you have been able to rank mouz and you on 3. Why are you not able to rank Soulkey and Inovation on 1 too?

Fair enough. The intent wasn't to demean Soulkey but rather to justify Innovation #1/Soulkey #2. It just didn't come out the way I intended it to.

Cause we(SC2 writing staff) can make the hard decisions, unlike the TL Dota writing staff.

Boom, shots fired.

Sorry to focus on the negatives, monk. Everything else was fine, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It isn't easy stating bold predictions, and strong opinions. Keep it up!

P.S. I hope it's not a ForGG v Alicia finals for WCS Global, for your sake - that would be a great headache writing the next PR lol

Interesting how (liquid member) hero got to the list while mvp got left out because Hero beat two more higher caliber players than mvp in tournament, while soulkey's GSL victory over innovation in Bo7 was widely ignored.

Also Flash is highly overrated in that power rank, he is not even close to being third best player in the starcraft 2 right now. The flash bias is so ridicilous.

What is the point of this "power rank" because this is not objective analysis at all about who is the best player currently.
