HellBats.. and Hellbats are something that require little micro and don't play to Flash's strengths I think Supernova on the list and Flash not is kind of crazy, except I think the writers, to some extent, want to write about different players from time to time. I know the Rolling Stones like causing controversy to get views, TL might be guilty to a lesser extent. | ||

Now, with Proleague over, I think it comes down to the 1 on 1 capability of players going into deep tournaments with long series. Bo5's and Bo7's are a whole new beast and KESPA players aren't as used to it, I don't think. The next power rank should be interesting because we will see if Innovation, Rain, and Soulkey can win extended series again. | ||

But seeing that TaeJa is winning tournaments and Flash is still struggeling in individual leagues it is understandable to place TaeJa above Flash. Flash hasn't made into Ro 8 in osl gsl for consistent 5 seasons. I wouldn't rank him too high in this case despite the proleague results which there aren't much this month. | ||

Soulkey also lost to Supernova in the WCS Season 2 qualifiers and zergs overall aren't doing too well lately. Agreed. Soulkey definitely the best Zerg. But doesn't deserve top 3 for sure. | ||

Innovation just has great mechanics but he has nothing of the strategic brillance that MPV had in WOL. | ||

His consistency is key though. He is the only Terran out of those 3 that advanced to the Ro8 in the WCG qualifiers (Bomber lost to Sora 0-2 in the qualifier final, and Maru lost 0-2 to Zest in the same stage), and beat a red hot Myungsik who was displaying some sick play (the classic online warrior type, given his offline performance) in the IEM qualifiers. I don't think losing games after large metagame shifts (post Hellbat) is really representative of anything, but that's just my opinion. | ||

He does have a tendency to overdo it when it comes to his macro decision-making though. | ||

I think that "Difficulty of opponents" plays a role in those power ranks. Also Soulkey 3rd? I think he is maybe 4th or even 5th. I understand your point, but TaeJa won 2 tournaments, not one (HSC and ASUS ROG). He also qualified for wcs america ro8 defeating some tough opponents like Polt and aLive. At ASUS ROG he didn't beat only aLicia, but Hyun and San too. Also, TaeJa has always been reliable in teamleagues, scoring occasional all-kills or 4kills in the acer teamstory cup. If we want to talk about results, Flash didn't do so well in comparison, apart for a couple of good performances in pro league. By the way, i like the power rankings, but I think that every player in the top 10 is really close in term of skills, and it's difficult to give them an order. | ||

He does have a tendency to overdo it when it comes to his macro decision-making though. He also lost to supernova in straight macro game. I would not put supernova's t v z in the highest level. Soulkey is fearless in z v z and z v p maybe. But his z v t, I am really not sure. In fact he hasn't beat any high level Terran I can recall. So therefore soulkey is the best Zerg, I just don't think any Zerg deserve top 5 in this list. | ||

This game is either to volatile or the skill gaps arent wide enough to even warrant a list then. Flash was in like the BW power rank for years in SC2 he drops out after 1 month. There is no need for a power rank if the guys that get through wcs korea are going to get top billing every month. All the quarter finalists from WCS Korea are in the top 10.... lets be serious how many of those guys if matched 1 on 1 in best of 5 vs Flash, would be considered favorite by the public? "Game is bad because flash isn't in the power rank. Also, power rank is bad because flash isn't in it."  | ||
