MC is just way too high imo. Jaedong is clearly better than him, as HSC showed. He should've beaten Taeja, MC never stood a chance.

But I love the rankings, thanks!

I just can't stay quiet about this. Jaedong won LSC, got top 4 at DH and looked like the strongest player after Taeja at HSC and he gets rank 13, while a single semifinal finish at HSC gets Scarlett rank 10. Ridiculous.

Major MC fanboying incoming.

I don't think you can base who the better player is off one of them almost winning a matchup against someone who lost to the same player in a completely different matchup. How can you say he looked like the strongest player after Taeja anyways? Is Socke-Yoda-Nightend-Hasu really that much more impressive than Dayshi - Harstem - Hasu - Nightend - Jjakji - Dayshi? I mean, if you want to analyze who looked second best, Scarlett beat Patience - Taeja - Stork - TLO - MMA before losing to Taeja as well. MC/Taeja just seemed like a real style clash (+ MC had been playing PvT the entire tournament whereas Taeja barely played any P), just like MC/Jjakji always is a stomp. Doesn't make Jjakji a terrible player, there are just some people that a player can't overcome when they meet.

I think most of all, Jaedong went out in WCS Ro32 to Jim and Heart whereas MC is still in WCS EU Ro8. Jaedong won one more match than MC at DH and he lost against the same player the next round. Jaedong also may have won LSC but MC won WCS EU a few weeks earlier.

Yes, Jaedong deserves to be higher, but I don't feel MC deserves to be any lower. He's below the person he lost to in a recent finals and no one else there has beaten him recently or could necessarily be considered a clear favorite. Maybe San in 3, MC 4, Jaedong 5.

I guess it's just not worth it for proleague teams to fly players to Europe to be knocked out in the group stage

Would put Serral a couple of spots higher, but can understand his ranking and overall the list looks good.

Best power rank ever because it mentions The_Templar!

I disagree, it's the best power rank ever because it puts TaeJa #1 partially on faith

The only thing I don't agree with here is YoDa at 15 and Dayshi at 17, it should be the other way around because Dayshi has looked a lot more impressive lately, at least his monster mode HSC performance should be enough to slide ahead of YoDa.

+ Show Spoiler [Rant] +

This ranking just shows how subpar outside of KR is right now (imo). I mean you have Taeja topping the rankings which is fair but he doesn't even want to play this game much longer, then you have Hyun in second place who is up and down and then MC in 3rd.
All 3 of those players would get eaten alive in Korea and like someone mentioned the other day i read, that the likes of MC Hyun Taeja are going to be in the WCS grand finals comfortably where the likes of Maru might struggle to get their, hell herO as well. $O$ wont be their either to try and defend his crown too.

Oh well, broken system ftw.
Would like to see DeMuslim show me some more improvements though

The lack of proleague players is their teams fault. Also, the best koreans outside of Korea are on par with proleague players. Innovation, TaeJa, Hyun and MC (and many others) could certainly compete with Maru & the others, in fact they did when they were in korea (albeit that was a long time ago and power rankings shifted a lot).
What I really want is a big tournament (not just wcs finals) where proleague players will finally face other koreans so people can stop guessing who's the best based off the coolness of kespa and other bs like that.
