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.


Well it was all in the finals when he got 4-0'd. I mean I just don't see losing 4-0 twice in the finals (to good players) being seen as not a good player. Taeja has only made 1 final all year where as jaedong has made way more (unfortunately hasn't won any). While I know this is only for august, making 2 finals should count for something even if getting 4-0'd.

I mean maru won the OSL then took an early bomb out of korea finals. Dunno I just don't see losing twice in the finals as a bad thing or not being seen as a top 5 player especially when the players been doing it for the past few months (I know this is augusts ranking).

Finals is still an amazing result especially being able to do it back to back. I feel like people put too much emphasis on winning tournaments, there can only be 1 winner and making the finals is no easy feat either, just like winning it.

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.


You did read this part right?

A review, not a predictor: The PR is a rating based on previous results, not a scouting report for who will do well in the future. We can't believe this is not completely obvious.
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.


How are you ever going to know who's truly best, stay in their team houses, watch them practice and decide for yourself who plays the best? Bomber won the biggest and most important tournament, so in that month he was the best. It seems pretty simple to me.


That and bomber lost to rain in the semi finals of wcs korea. He deserves #1 for sure.

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.


How many times does jaedong (or any good player) have to make the finals before he can be deemed worthy of top 5? :/

Read the OP

Results: Obviously, this will be the basis of any power rank. And since this is a monthly power rank, we'll be mainly focusing on results from the last month, that is the month of August. Past performances are taken into account as well, but with decreasing weight over time.

I don't really agree with maru being #3, but as certain people have stated before, results from wcs tends to really bump people up on the power rank.

Maybe it's just my disappointment that jaedong didn't win wcs europe finals speaking through. Oh well.

I'll give you an example. Soulkey won WCS KR over Innovation. The PR came right after it. It still had Innovation as #1, despite he just lost a very important final in the most important region. (it was before the season world finals) That was okay, right?

I didn't have a hand in that ranking so it was wrong.

Now I do so it's right. 8)

Taeja has only made 1 final all year where as jaedong has made way more (unfortunately hasn't won any). While I know this is only for august, making 2 finals should count for something even if getting 4-0'd.

I mean maru won the OSL then took an early bomb out of korea finals. Dunno I just don't see losing twice in the finals as a bad thing or not being seen as a top 5 player especially when the players been doing it for the past few months (I know this is augusts ranking).

Finals is still an amazing result especially being able to do it back to back. I feel like people put too much emphasis on winning tournaments, there can only be 1 winner and making the finals is no easy feat either, just like winning it.

You did read this part right?

A review, not a predictor: The PR is a rating based on previous results, not a scouting report for who will do well in the future. We can't believe this is not completely obvious.
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.


How are you ever going to know who's truly best, stay in their team houses, watch them practice and decide for yourself who plays the best? Bomber won the biggest and most important tournament, so in that month he was the best. It seems pretty simple to me.


That and bomber lost to rain in the semi finals of wcs korea. He deserves #1 for sure.


And Rain lost to Maru in WCS KR who lost to Scarlett who lost to...

There rankings aren't about x > y > z


I know that I was providing examples (I am fine with Maru being as high as he is considering he won WCS KR beating very good players to do so).


It's all opinions anyway

I mostly agree with the power rank except for INnoVation's ranking (he should be top 5 at least).

I'll give you an example. Soulkey won WCS KR over Innovation. The PR came right after it. It still had Innovation as #1, despite he just lost a very important final in the most important region. (it was before the season world finals) That was okay, right?


I didn't have a hand in that ranking so it was wrong.

Now I do so it's right. 8)

They let trial writers vote? God help us

Wooh Bomber and PartinG! =D

Also, even though I don't think it was in August, PartinG was seeded into the Ro16, not the Ro8. He had to 2-0 JangBi as well.
