How many premier tournaments have Snute or Scarlett won in HOTS? Oh yea, a fat 0. But eh, liquid/foreign bias isn't new to these power rankings. Hell, Taeja is at #1 and the dude has no shot in this one. San wins DH Summer for free (sorry he's only #4)... I'll save this comment, because of the sheer amount of misinformed rage. This is just a fun TL tradition. You're not supposed to agree with everything. It is also based on overall results as well as current form. If Jaedong is as good as you say, he'll prove it in the tournament. No prize money is awarded for getting a high ranking here | ||

I would go as far as saying that this would delegitimize any Taeja championship | ||

The only thing that makes me raise my eyebrows is Demuslim, rank 29th. Seriously?! Because if we take a look at the honourable mentions and the special mentions players I see way better results and most importantly a better progression during time. Demuslim was supposed to break out since 2011, I don't get why he should be considered as even remotely superior to someone like Krass, for example. He's a funny guy and a nice person, but I don't see how it translates or adds value to his play. | ||

My point is that everytime he gets mentioned, there's always the line about his "untapped potential". The thing is that this line basically applies to 80% of the sc2 pros. | ||

But I still have to fight for Jaedong, the discussion is the best part anyway  . | ||

MMA is ranked too highly imo, scarlett always beat him as far as i can remember. Hence Scarlett needs to be ranked higher. However I'm afraid Scarlett is becoming only a terran killer, able to stand toe to toe againts Taeja or Bomber, but a bit shaky with other races. Also she doesn't seem to be willing to go all-in like Life, Jaedong or even SK, makes her a little bit more predictable. Most Code S players mixes cheeses and all-ins from time to time, that's how Jaedong beat Maru and Scarlett in some of their previous games. | ||

 So tired of someone for a known team automatically getting placed higher than people who actually play the game | ||

Also, I've seen some independent finals ranking with MC - PuMa at IEM as nr. 1. Just putting that out there But maybe you are right, and we should be cutting him by the caps for making a bad finals at HSC | ||

yes, i do think there is a lack of strong protoss playing out of Korea, only San and MC can do it, and MC is not impressing me, his performance at HSC was not good at all, and he was lucky to get 2nd place. However MC is a beast, based on his potential #3 is only fair. | ||
