Incidentally, Jaedong and Soulkey have a 5-5 map record in tournament play against one another.

Great read!

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.

talk about biased, #1 was practically a no-show in the WCS finals, which is really the tournament that matters.
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

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.

So sOs should be rank 1 even though he is in Code A, just lost the Red Bull Battlegrounds, and also placed 9-12 at DH Winter?

Yay, i missed power rank. After this Proleague will be sure to dominate a large portion of the spotlight( which im ok with).

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?

lol i just love how people mock jaedong and taeja because they are not supposedly "top players" .. since they did not have tournament runs that is stacked with code s players .. thinking that a couple of tournament wins and 2nd places wont matter since its not "stacked" and a couple of high level pros along the way wont matter as if its not that hard.. and everyone still dismisses innovation who always places high in code s and is still considered by people not a "top player" since he doesnt place in anything and gets murdered horribly by Taeja all the time .. or as how people tell that sOs is better than Dear just because he won Blizzcon even though the gap skill is clear between them..


so what does people consider to be top if it is not based upon difficulty and consistency ? i just dont understand people here from TL

this is a quote

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)

Maybe they decided that was redundant and that's why they decided to not do it a third time Or maybe Waxangel was just busy or something and couldn't do the ones in November/October. Who knows?

San should get a special mention!
Otherwise reasonable list. Soulkey should be > Jaedong though.
