I don't see why people are complaining though. They argue that the quantity of wins doesn't make up for the lack of quality, but everyone knows that a power rank can't be based off such a vague and subjective feeling. (and also the competition in DH was without a doubt code S level.) This ranking is very accurate imo. | ||

At DH, the terran lineup was kinda code S (lacking Bomber, Maru, Jakji), zerg lineup was code A, protoss lineup was code B. No foreign tournament will ever be half as stacked as code S. | ||

Also this is so sad but true "While Soulkey is a formidable player, it's hard to shake off the feeling that he's constantly the victim of someone else's date with destiny," A real spot on quote. Nonetheless, Soulkey fighting! | ||

Actually IPL4 had 19/32 Code S players (at that time) in the tournament. Would've been 20 had Mvp not cancelled. IPL5 only had 15/32 of that season's code S players participating. So basically IPL4 hardest foreign tournament confirmed. Who won that again? | ||

There should have been one in october or november tough With the WCS season finals and BLizzcon yet for some mysterious reason it aint there and the one before that Taeja just happened to climbed 4 spots. hmm. | ||

What the hell is the point in doing a power rank right after a world finals? Everyone would just expect you to put the players in order of their finish in the most recent tournament. | ||

You argument had been valid, if they didn't do the same after every season final (minus the third) | ||

Who knows? | ||

Otherwise reasonable list. Soulkey should be > Jaedong though. | ||
