I'm sorry but how is Taeja not the favorite let alone 5th. The guy wins like 2/3rds of the tournaments he enters. I'm really tired of hearing about Flash who's best finish was 2nd place in an MLG almost 2 years ago - Taeja has won 12 (I think?) Tournaments since then.

Taeja hasn't won 12 tournaments since MLG Dallas (might be something like 8 though), and Flash is receiving a lot of hype because he has (arguably) the best record out of any player in August and has been looking very worthy of being called a title contender. Since shortly before the SPL finals, he has been playing like champion. Taeja's however many championships in 2012/2013 don't matter in this context.

I guess one of the rules of power rank is to rate every PL player higher then the rest :p. So Taeja got the highest possible position :p

That's because everyone is just thankful that you guys did a power rank. Make sure to keep this stuff coming for each tournament. You guys have really been stepping things up the past few weeks and I want to see it continue to get even better! :D


We won't be doing it for each tournament because it gets repetitive and uninteresting.

I can, however, tease that there might be another kind of Power Rank coming soon

Gumba's PR is finally getting posted?


I better make rank 1 for being probably the most illustrious LR poster of all time

And I'll ban him if I'm not.

You aren't rank 1 or 3 afaik

Massive overratings of the top 4 have happend.
Nr 4 is out and Nr 1 has to go to the decider.
Life, Scarlet, Taeja and Snute are underrated.

It's almost as if those concerns got addressed in the OP.

Power Rank does not suggest that a higher ranked player is better than a lower ranked player in a head to head. Rankings are based on the overall appraisal of a player.

Also really hard to tell which players are in form at certain events. Life seem to be doing a lot better all of a sudden. How are the predictors supposed to know that?

So coming now after some matches has been played and saying the predictions is off is a bit weird.

Like give me 2 or 3 days and I will give you a full power ranking.

The 4 highest rankend players have not won a premiere since beginning of Season II or being runner up. There is still a overrating when it comes to "overall appraisal of a player".

I know but the writers kept asking people to flame them like what usually happens in power ranks so I'm taking my shots as they are presented to me

Flash vs MC, game of the year! So far
If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

I saw both and I preferred MC-Flash game 1. Not by a big margin though, both games are absolutely sick anyway.

So there are still people saying Taeja still worse and had bracket luck vs Zest? :D
herO didn'T even make it to the main bracket losing to #14 Snute, must've been luck when he got 2-1ned
Also bracket luck I guess for sOs because he had #21, #16 and #14 in his group when he was ranked top 5? I see :D

Not complaining just find it funny how people argue on here >_<

Zest goes 1-2 against Taeja and suddenly Taeja and the rankings are completely absurd?

Let's not forget MC defeated Flash the first series, but nobody was hyping him up to be a better player. Zest still looks like a more frightening person to go up against compared to Taeja.
