To be fair, he seems to just be a troll. Rather than representative of fans of KeSPA players.

I hope someone's come up with a fancy French name for Forgg. I think it's already happened but I can't remember it.

umm im just responding to all these trolls who are whining that kespa players are being ranked so high and that there is some kind of kespa bias. fact is, kespa players are dominating right now. tournaments in korea should always hold far more weight than tournaments outside korea, since koreans would have to deal with jet lag and other such travel issues that make them perform at less than 100%.

My opinions obviously differ from Team Liquid's Power Rank, but I would like to give some clearly stated reasons to avoid turning this into the angry ranting of a fanboy.

Mvp should be ranked higher.

First of all, let's look at number 7, FanTaSy. FanTaSy is a great player, no doubt, and he sported a pretty good record this month. However, there is a glaring problem - his macro. Floating 1,000+ minerals when it's not a super lategame scenario is a pretty poor display of skill and suggests that he might have lost against better opponents (after all, Life is slumping hard). If you look at #10 (TaeJa) and #9 (Polt), the Power Rank clearly states that Polt is ahead of TaeJa due to the quality of play - TaeJa plays sloppily, while Polt demolishes his opponents. Now compare Mvp and FanTaSy and you will see that Mvp has superior macro and his playstyle is much less sloppy than FanTaSy.

Now, I admit that wouldn't exactly be enough to consider Mvp to be better than FanTaSy. What really puts him over the edge is FanTaSy's 0-2 loss to First. FanTaSy got outplayed hard in those games. First displayed beautiful PvT and in the process, FanTaSy looked mediocre or even bad - whether that is due to First's skill or FanTaSy's mistakes, I cannot tell. Given the way FanTaSy got outplayed hard by First (who is not even close to Top 10) and his obvious macro flaws, I ask you this: could FanTaSy have gone 2-3 against INnoVation in a close series?

It is harder to argue against JangBi, and I do think JangBi deserves a nice placement. However, I do not believe sOs merits such a high ranking. He got shut out by INnoVation (Mvp's 2-3 trumps sOs's 0-4), and beating his teammate isn't very significant because of how wonky the sOs vs. Soulkey series is - teamkills tend to do that. The Asian Indoors Martial Arts tournament had laughably easy competition (only other contender was the only other Korean, Flash).

Personally, I would rank the players like so:

10. TaeJa
9. Polt
8. FanTaSy
7. sOs
6. Mvp
5. JangBi
4. Flash
3. Rain
2. Soulkey
1. INnoVation

Anyway, both monk's Power Ranking and my own are merely opinions! Please don't be offended.

I think the fact that Symbol looks like the most constant kr player for a year (every time in code S, and 4 time in the RO8 at least) should make him in this top10 'cause there's no other KR player who's so constant in his result.
