Not necessarily bad since PL is the only weekly thing. But the criteria should be clear : We put a lot of weights for matchs in PL in this power rank. Would it not be better to just have a group of say 20 pro gamers, or good casters like Artosis/idra/incontrol, that list their top 10 at the end of the month? I think that would be so much better. | ||

First should be in the honorable mentions though. That guy is starting to look like royal road material. | ||

Don't forget that Fantasy's game vs First in OSL Ro16 is not counted towards this, since it didn't happen in June. And JangBi is basically solo carrying Samsung KHAN on his back. They both deserve their spots. (also, MVP would lose to both of them, but that's just my opinion and we won't know until/if they meet in the future). I think this is spot on ranking, only thing I would change is Parting in, Taeja out. And I fully expect First to place in this power rank next month, if he continues with his performance... | ||

..and the hopes and dreams of eSF supporters across the land have been shattered as they realized their best chance at a #1 Power Rank placement is now but a whisper in the wind. eSF supporters have probably by now given up any hope of any PR placement of their players, as the PR is mainly based on a league that is relevant only because of its importance for a game that is no longer played professionaly and vaguely resembles SC2, and no eSF team happens to take part in said league. I think this format had merit in the days, when Proleague was the shit, because Proleague itself does not clearly lead to a order of players. But now that we have WCS World (and Proleague is a very niche thing), we kind of already have a natural player ranking - you can choose whether it is their order at the last WCS finals or their WCS points (I would take the former more seriously, as you can't tell apart EU and NA WCS points that are significantly cheaper). | ||

Yeah kind of. For players like Bogus, Soulkey, and Flash it's profoundly obvious that they deserve their spots. However, players like Jangbi and Fantasy are a lot more debatable in their ranking. They're mainly inflated by PL which is a bit unfair as eSF has less opportunities to show their players outside of WCS. But, something is better than nothing, so they maintain their spots. Personally, I think MVP is better than both of them, but he's mainly been munching on Europeans so I'm hard pressed to argue when it comes to results. The skill is there though, imo. | ||
