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

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.
