Not sure I agree with Innovation or Rain falling out of Top 5, but Bomber #1, so I'm satisfied.

A lot of change. I think the players from WCS AM are slightly overrated in this ranking, but whatever.

Lol, this is ridiculous. Probably the most absurd one to date.

With the now official crowning of Bomber as "the best in the world" (lololol), I hereby declare the new "curse" of winning a WCS Season Final. You win one, you get super mega ultra hyped, and before late, you drop miserably off the chart. Innovation check, Bomber soon to check too.

Power rank seems very agreeable but for the fact that Maru and TaeJa might be slightly too high. I believe INnoVation and Jaedong could take swap with those two respectively. I just don't think Maru has really proven to us he's a top contender. Yes, he won OSL but everyone he was the "underdog" to had a massive brain fart. His quick exit from WCS Season Finals supports this. And as for TaeJa, he definitely looked badass at WCS, but he's also slightly unproven; everyone can have one good tournament run. See Jkakji, Sniper, and Seed.

Edit: Also, where's Bisu??

For a serious response, I was a bit surprised to see Taeja at #2 at first, but thinking about it now it definitely makes sense. I'm really happy to see First on the PR for 2 months in a row, he's the shining beacon of hope for IM right now other than when Mvp decides to be good. I honestly didn't think you were going to give Bomber the #1 spot because it was only one tournament but he does deserve it. WCS KR still holds a level of prestige even if It's not as high as the season finals' so Maru's placement makes sense, although I was expecting him at #2 for the 4-0 over innovation and the 0-2 to 4-2 over Rain.

I wonder if we're already seeing the end of Kespa team player domination? That sure didn't last long. I'm going to miss the aggressive Kespa fan posters who would shit all over eSF players, actually no I'm not going to miss them, but I will miss their unironic KESPAAAAAAA shouts. I can replace it with my ironic KESPAAAAAA shouts at least.

Taeja didn't win anything, but he's the only player that didn't have an embarassing series all month. Maru didn't make it out of his WCS final group, Jaedong got 0-4'd twice, Innovation 0-4 to Maru lost to Naniwa didn't get out of his group, Rain 2-4 to Maru, etc. It's a tenuous #2 but it's hard to argue anyone looked consistently as good this month.

Pretty much don't agree with anything.

You change the rankings way too much from one month. How could you move Innovation and Rain down so low? They've been so dominant recently. How could you put Bomber into the best player spot after like what, one good tournament? This is all silly. Jaedong top 4 is still a month or two early.

Please consider the past 3-4 months when making the ranking please =/ Sorry about criticism, I just feel like this adds more confusion to what's happening in the scene opposed to who is really doing well long-term.

Well, maybe, but Taeja is a 5 time champion of premier events, not to mention 3rd in 3 GSLs, 2 WCS events, An MLG and a Dreamhack. I think we can hardly say that this was a fluke thing.

Rain should be rank 3 imo, he did reasonably well in proleague.

Trolling aside it's good to see a new power rank

Despite jaedong being my favourite zerg, at this juncture in time I really disagree with him being 4th on the list.


Why is that? He made back to back finals in august (wcs AM and WCS finals) beating good players as a result.

Tbh I don't agree with Taeja being at 2 (not saying Jaedong should be, honestly 2 is hard to say who I would put, but I just don't feel it should be Taeja).

I just feel that going 0-8 vs terrans in finals is pretty good reason to not put him as 4. He would probably be the best player in the world if his zvt was better, but it's not and he's not.

Maybe I'm just being overly conservative, but being top5 in a power rank to me means not having a crippling weakness.

And I don't presume that you predict anything. It's just the whole "oh the best etc etc". The curse of WCS Season Champions is not directly related to this, with it or without it, it just kinda happens on its own. People take winning this thing way too seriously as if it actually means the guy is the best, when he could easily not be.

I feel that Rain should be swapped with Polt. Also, it just feels weird to see Bogus that low. I know he lost a few times to inferior (but still very good!) players, but most of his games still looked extremely impressive. I think after Jaedong, I would've gone Rain, First, Polt, Innovation. Polt's games against First just did not look like he deserves top 5.
