Everyone would just expect you to put the players in order of their finish in the most recent tournament. Taking the DH championship finals as the benchmark is much better instead. Life doesn't deserve top 5 in any way based on his play over the last year, JD should gtfo until he wins something, taeja should try to compete in a KR tournament. Can we just copy the top 8 from WCS KR into powerrank please? (At least polt is out of the power rank now, I'll try to console myself with that) | ||

What a funny coincidence. Agreed. It's not even getting close to the end of the year and none of the major tournaments have finished for the year. Oh...wait... | ||

No foreign tournament will ever be half as stacked as code S. And none of that actually matters because out of his 9 games, Taeja only faced one of those Code A opponents, SjoW. Code A players accidentally get into Code S all the time, see Swagger, PigBaby, Shine, the list goes on. Nothing new there. The rest of his competition was Code S level, and he played 9 matches to the Code S equivalent of 7. The other 10 players in the tournament might as well not have existed so far as we're concerned. | ||

 I have to disagree at some points. Innovation has been beaten by Supernova and Crank at DH Bucharest, and not only beaten, but stomped by Taeja. At GSL by DRG, Jjakji and soO, he lost to duckdeock at Blizzcon (!) in the first round and at DH Winter not only to Taeja, but also to Patience, ForGG and Life. He showed good results in teamleagues but only against average korean players while losing to some Foreigners. Despite Bombers lack of appearances lately and his repeated fall to Scarlett I value his Blizzcon performance higher than anything that Innovation has done since the last powerrank - also Bomber only lost to top10-contenders since GSL. So, I'd rather kick innovation out of the top10 and give Bomber (or someone else) 10th place. Also I think, Jaedong got pretty lucky in Grids and is way overrated. Apart from his Blizzcon performance he didn't have impressive runs since september - it's enough for the top10 but only for the bottom of them. His results since the last powerrank: IEM NY: failed to qualify (out after losses against zest and first) DH Bucharest: Ro16 (out against sOs) WCS AM: Semifinal (out against Byul) WCS Season 3 Finals: last in his group after losing to MMA and Genius with a 1-4 record Red Bull NY: failed to qualify (1st try: out against apocalypse; 2nd try:out against Suhosin; 3rd try: out against Gamja...who?) WCS global finals: impressive winning streak against MVP, Dear and Maru but stomped 1-4 by sOs in the finals (like he got stomped in almost every finals he took part this year) Dreamhack Winter: topping his relatively weak group and then no win in the Playoffs (losses against Innovation an JYP) As I said: Without his run at Blizzcon he couldn't be considered top10 material. | ||

WCS? WCG? Something else competing among the Koreans in top shape?... not just fighting silly foreigners and exhausted koreans who had won more money in one tournament than what Taeja had won over his entire carrier? Get real. For me the best player right now with his current results is Dear, followed by the amazing play of JaeDong. And after that you can place maru, soulkey, parting, taeja, sos and the rest. | ||
