Do more than just perform good for a month or 2?


Oh sorry, I didn't know this was the yearly consistency rank, instead of the Powerrank for August.

I dunno, I has its charms but after a certain point I just feel like an Agnostic debating Young-Earthers. I'm left feeling slightly confounded and wondering why I put myself through all this.

I mostly agree with the list.
I feel Polt is overated in it and innovation doesn't deserve a spot. Cure easily better than both imo.

No soulkey, solar, effort or true might actuallly be correct. Kinda funny to see so many Terrans and so few Zergs. Dem Terran buffs yo.

A rough time to be a zerg. Zerg have only won about 13% of premier tournaments in these past eight months of 2014, and it's not looking like that's going to change for the better. Well at least there's one in the top 10, even if he hasn't actually won a championship.

I want to tell one thing, right here and now:

Life is the best zerg in the world.

That said, wtf does maru in #2. The guy sucked this month,
Life won like 200k and didn't hire a proper criminal lawyer.

"The Power Rank focuses most on the month pertains to, but also takes past results into account."

From the OP.


Both Flash and Rain have for example a 73% winrate since April with 134 and 56 games respectively. In August Flash has a 78% winrate and Rain a 75% winrate with 61 and 20 games respectively. This means that Flash's winrate is not only slightly higher but much more supported by the number of games that he played. It's much harder to maintain a high winrate of off a lucky streak for a short amount of time. If anyone is consistent, it is Flash.

Unless you say we should go back even further. Then plz all #1 awards to Mvp kthxbye.

As much as Flash is owning right now I have to think that Rain would be the favorite if they played a live bo5, but I think Rain has always had his number.


lol I remember Best always have Flash's number in BW, then it magically disappears.


That's the problem with Flash, the second you call him he also has your number :0

Rain and Flash clearly interchangeable between 1 and 2 so I was stunned to see Maru as #2... Also, TaeJa #4? He's a fricking good player but I don't think he's too five. PartinG #6 is also wtf. I wouldn't even think he's too 10. Polt not even top twenty! soO should be higher.

Man you guys need to put these ranks out at the end of Wcs seasons not after ro32 then none later on..

No, these will be coming out on the 1st every month unless there is a tournament that concludes on the 2nd.

Does this mean we get one right before blizzcon?

Among other things!

lol at Rain #1.

His solid style indeed wipes out lesser players with ease, but players of equal caliber hard counter him so bad. That's why he likely won't ever win another GSL/OSL.

Meanwhile Flash has an 80% win rate and a winning record against literally every player he's played since the SPL Finals.


That's actually hilarious, because he only plays against "equal caliber players" and he's been wiping the floor with them HARD

I suppose Rain paid TL writers to gain 1st place, and Maru paid even more. Flash has done all you said about Rain (Proleague, Kespa Cup qualifiers, 1st in GSL group), and he also won IEM. How the hell must he do to gain 1st spot? Will Kespa Cup and GSL be enough?

Taeja is above Zest. I can finally rest in peace. Not sure what rain is even doing in this ranking though, but then again, I don't follow him so you know… biases.

Flash is gonna win Kespa Cup and GSL and in a couple of months we will once again see "Don't even try to argue this one."
