Pretty good Power Rank, I only disagree with INnoVation being 1st again. Yes he's awesome, but I feel like you give him too much credit for winning Proleague when he hasn't lived up to expectations this month, and in the Bomber piece you concede that he's overrated? Just feels a bit weird. Other than that though spot on.

Best TvZ and TvP in the entire world makes him #1 even if his TvT is slightly weak (losing to top Terrans). Nobody else on that list can claim matchup dominance on the level of Innovation. If Innovation had gone 0-6 but it was 0-2 in every matchup, I'd be saying "ok, maybe he isn't #1 right now", but it is literally ONLY TvT losses.

People who are like "AMG HE LOST" forgets that StarCraft 2 has multiple matchups.

Happy that Inno is still #1. Sure he had that hiccup against Maru, but he destroyed everything else. The games he lost to Maru weren't because Maru simply had more skill.
Forever the best, IMMvp <3

Monk, wouldn't you say Flash's 2 wins in playoffs (only for his team), 2-0 against Bbyong and 2-0 against Effort to return to Code S is enough to at least keep him on the top 10? The ranks are jumping around so much every month that at least half of the players are "New!" any time.

It is kinda stupid when you can have 5 new people in the top 10 of power rank in one month. 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?


Hots was released very recently, the game still isn't fully figured out/patched. The volatility is part of what makes it exciting, I'm pretty sure Broodwar wasn't fully stable upon release either.

Oh and if you matched the quarterfinalists vs Flash I'd take Innovation and Rain without second thoughts. I'd probably take Maru too.

The volatility doesn't make it exciting, it makes it worse as an esport.

If Rain wins OSL, I think there'd be a good argument to bump Innovation down a spot and Rain up to #1.

I think that potential bump would also depend on how they do at the Season Finals.

This power rank is bad because my subjective critera is better than your subjective critera

double standards... soulkey is 3rd and he got so many credits and there are doubts about bomber just because of his past??? if we look at past then why do we have flash out of top10 or symbol etc... power rank should look only results in one month and in description it is said like that but soulkey beats that description..

problem is with hyun and supernova too.. hyun lost in wcs am and that is bigger thing than his winning, he is not top10 player, jangbi is on the other hand.. supernova should be no10, maybe.. i doubt he deserves his spot

I think the number 1 spot should be left blank. No one deserse the spot.

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

Lol that would've been amazing.
Assuming MPV=Mvp lol, I totally agree on that. Mvp was a much more complete package player.

I think Polt should've been on the list instead of Hyun. Pretty good list except no Polt lol.

So SuperNova SCV-pulling his heart out and consistently aggressive allins net him the 6th spot. Theres one thing Im sure about this dude: once he falls out of the league, hes out for good.

Taeja's place is actually not surprising. We all know he would get a spot whenever he won another yet another euro tourney
