Yeah he won WCS KR but his horrid performance at WCS Season Finals shouldn't mean absolutely nothing (he gained a rank???) | ||

You could argue he was jetlagged and thus showed poor performance. One Tournament, even if it was the latest, shouldn't reflect a players performance fully. | ||

He won WCS KR on August 10 so that achievement counts for August. | ||

Honestly, Innovation completely failed in August. Sora had an absolutely amazing run, perhaps the greatest run in SC2 history, beating an absurd number of well-known pros while coming in as a complete no-name. | ||

So Scarlett cannot enter the Top10 after making Top4 in WCS AM beating Hero, Revival and Alive, only losing in a close 2-3 to Jaedong (Your Top4) in a tournament where also competed the likes of Taeja, Polt, Ryung... Then she makes Top8 in the season finals, beating MMA and Maru (current GSL champion and your Top3), then again only losing in a close 2-3 against the eventual champion Bomber (your Top1). And all of this "At a time when all Zergs are struggling" in you own words. Sorry, it simply doesnt make any sense to me. | ||

Literally the only players Taeja lost to are Polt 2-3 and Bomber 2-3 who are both in the top 5 also and he crushed guys like Rain and played ABSURDLY good against Innovation. Taeja clearly was better than JD and Maru this month. Unlike the other guys he had no weakness in his play. | ||

I believe he gained a rank only because people above him fell to lower ranks. | ||

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. Flash is going to be rank 1 in Nov for winning WCS s3 and WCS GSL : ( One can hope  Nice writeup ^^ I do think Jaekong should be second but the 2-4th spots are kinda iffy so oh well xD | ||

Soulkey is certainly a better zerg player and I would also rank Parting over Scarlett. In fact, there are a number of good players in GSL code S, A, and B that I would rank above Scarlett. | ||

Scarlett was probably in the 20s or 30s before August, and now probably 11/12. She had the biggest jump of all the players. This isn't obvious because she didn't make the top 10, but it is hard to argue dropping Parting (WCG), Soulkey (still best Zerg I guess?) or Innovation for her even though I wanted her to make it. | ||

He is top 5 and only that low because Bomber Polt and Taeja are all playing pretty amazing right now. Innovation isn't the undeniable best player anymore but he is one of the 10 best in the world without a doubt. | ||
