Be honest here, you can win the WCS but you won't get high in PR if you don't play in Proleague.
I understand that Proleague is great for making lists like this, but please avoid statements that make yourself look silly.
Till the point that eSF players get to play in PL there is no way they will get close.


You're so full of bullshit.

WCS Season 1 Finals:

Soulkey 2:0 Alive
sOs 2:0 Symbol
sOs 1:2 ForGG (former elephant)
sOs 2:0 HerO
InnoVation 2:0 Revival
RorO 2:1 Revival
sOs 3:0 Alicia
Innovation 3:0 aLive
Innovation 3:2 Mvp

KeSPA placing: 1st 2nd 3rd 5th (the rest being eSF/foreigner Koreans players from the WCS NA and EU)

WCS Season 2 Prelims (Qualifier Finals only)

Pigbaby 2:0 Sacsri (Both KeSPA)
Dear 2:1 Pet
Mekia 1-2 JYP (JYP not KeSPA but proleague player)
Kop 2-0 DarkStar
ZerO 2:1 Sorry (Both KeSPA)
Balloon (teamless before this result) 2:1 Kassia
Turn 2:1 JKS
Argo 2:1 Action (Both KeSPA)
SongDuri 2:1 Sora
Terminator 2:0 Hydra (Both KeSPA)
(KT)Puzzle 0:2 Billowy
herO 2:1 BeSt (Both KeSPA)
Skyhigh 2:0 Aria (Both KeSPA)
free 0:2 Sleep
Reality 2:0 Zest (Both KeSPA)
s2 2:0 Shark (Both KeSPA)

Out of 23 open spots KeSPA players took 17 eSF players took 6 JYP took 1 CoCa took 1

WCS Season 2 Starleague Ro32 Group Stage:

Group A: Flash Soulkey advance over Yugioh Ragnarok
Group B: (All KeSPA) Innovation Bbyong advance over Savage Flying
Group C: soO Maru advance over sOs Effort
Group D: Trap Symbol advance over Curious Shine
Group E: Fantasy Kangho advance over Jangbi Life
Group F: First hyvaa advance over Leenock RoRo
Group G: SuperNova Parting advance over Squirtle Yonghwa
Group H: Rain Bomber advance over Keen Hurricane

Head to Head: Kespa 13:12 eSF
Out of 32 spots KeSPA took 22 spots, eSF took 9, Yugioh took 1
Out of 16 in the second group stage KeSPA took 11, eSF took 5 (not including results as they are July)

Out of 41 players in the WCS Korea Season 2 Challenger League (Code A):
eSF players hold 19 spots KeSPA holds 20 spots JYP holds 1 spot CoCa holds 1 spot. (most of the ESF players come from the Up/Down Groups, most of the KeSPA players come from the qualifiers).



Lol, thanks for the hard work but this is hardly relevant as most of the players in your list have never been and will never be in consider for the PR. The fact remains that the top Kespa and top esf players are not that faraway in skill
with Kespa doing better atm. Look at how Supernova beat Parting, Maru beat sOs, Bomber beat Byong, Fist beat Fantasy etc. Head to Head Kespa 13:12 esf as you listed, pretty close.
What really happens when PL results are rewarded is that top Kespa players are rewarded for collecting wins against mediocre Kespa players ( they are mostly 50-50 head to head within themselves ) which is why it is laughable.

Nice info but what has that to do with my point? Proleague is getting counted heavily so the players not participating have a serious disadvantage in these rankings. I know it, you know it, everybody knows it. Then why make a statement like the eSF ever would have a chance to get rank 1 like its some kind of mockery? Its nearly impossible to reach high in the ranks without playing in proleague.

Pretty terrible list.

Nice Kespa heavy bias.

How to make top5 on TL PR, play pro-league and do mediocre everywhere else.

The TL PR becomes more irrelevant.

Cream-of-the-crop Kespa> cream-of-the-crop ESF, especially with Life's slump. Really when you compare Bomber/Taeja, Symbol and Squirtle to guys like Innovation, Soulkey and Rain, is it that surprising that Kespa players dominate the top 10?

I kinda get it, he probably dreams of surpassing Flash's e-sports status some day by not just being the best at StarCraft, but being the undisputed best at every game in existence at some point!

But that is not why only there are soo much in the top 10. Read the explenation and count how many times they say Proleague.You can play awesome and go toe to toe with the best of KeSPA (Mvp) but as long as some people get a decent run in proleague you won't get high in the ranks simply cause you can't participate in PL.

Where is (P)Lizzy? He's the furthest advancing Kespa player in the WCS AM qualifiers. He took out top players such as (T)TOP who took out STX's (P)Mini. Before you scoff at WCS AM, just look at some things:

1. (P)JYP fled to WCS KR after failing to qualify for WCS AM premier or challenger divisions last season. He qualifies for WCS KR on the first try.

2. After (Z)HyuN qualifies in his bracket, WCS America will have 3 of the top 4 finishers at Homestory Cup VII including both finalists - (T)TaeJa, (Z)Snute, and (Z)HyuN

3. After HyuN qualifies and now (T)Sound changing his region to AM (qualifiers were too hard for a Red Bull LAN finalist like him. impressive shit), WCS AM will have 6 of the top 8 from the recent MLG including both finalists - (T)Polt, (Z)HyuN, (P)HerO, (T)Sound, (Z)Jaedong, and (P)Sage

4. (P)Alicia dominated (T)IMmvp at the WCS S1 season finals.

5. Both Red Bull Training Grounds finalists have changed their region to America - (T)Sound and (Z)Golden

All in all, (P)Lizzy's recent performance earns him at least a CBNC spot imo. Thanks.

with Kespa doing better atm. Look at how Supernova beat Parting, Maru beat sOs, Bomber beat Byong, Fist beat Fantasy etc. Head to Head Kespa 13:12 esf as you listed, pretty close.
What really happens when PL results are rewarded is that top Kespa players are rewarded for collecting wins against mediocre Kespa players ( they are mostly 50-50 head to head within themselves ) which is why it is laughable.


I think the average Kespa player is not much different from the average eSF, but when it comes to the top tier of each category, Kespa is clearly dominant. With guys like Innovation, Soulkey, sOs, Flash, Rain, etc. whereas you think of top eSF players and you have Mvp, Life, Symbol. In this regard, Kespa has the clear advantage.

Cream-of-the-crop Kespa> cream-of-the-crop ESF, especially with Life's slump. Really when you compare Bomber/Taeja, Symbol and Squirtle to guys like Innovation, Soulkey and Rain, is it that surprising that Kespa players dominate the top 10?

But that is not why only there are soo much in the top 10. Read the explenation and count how many times they say Proleague.You can play awesome and go toe to toe with the best of KeSPA (Mvp) but as long as some people get a decent run in proleague you won't get high in the ranks simply cause you can't participate in PL.


That's got nothing to do with Kespa-bias though. That's just because Proleague gives regular results (weekly matches). You can't fault the writers for using the numbers that they have, especially in a monthly based ranking system.

Really the problem is that GSTL doesn't have enough matches/ESF players don't get as much exposure, rather than with the methodology. It would be weirder NOT to use Proleague statistics.
