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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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?? 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. | ||

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. | ||

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.You did read this part right?
