excuse me, i may sound rude, but is this a troll list?
Rain number1? really? i would understand to put Rain on top 5 - no arguments needed here- but NUMBER ONE??
this guy qualifiered for Kespa Cup through an online qualifier(wich is not the same thing compared to an offline event) and his Group in Code S wasnt the Hardest one + PvP can end either way...
Flash should be higher on this rank.. he was THE BEST player in this month
and why did you guys even put Maru on this list? i thought this this the power rank of august and you put a player that barely played in this month (obviously Maru is in my opinion still TOP3 terran but he really did not that much this month compared to other koreans, even Snute did more in my opinion)
sorry for my bad english and i hope next time i will see a better thought power rank :/

I feel Taeja is slightly, just slightly overrated, simply because he doesn't perform in Korea. Otherwise he's probably the best "foreigner" or player that doesn't play in the GSL / SPL. That is my definition of foreigner.

Polt? eh, overrated.

But Polt 3 - 0'd TaeJa just 2 weeks ago in the Red Bull finals


you're right obviously

this is just how i feel

you know, feelings

polt has never impressed me, ever. i don't watch all his games, admittedly, but he's never given me a moment that left me on my butt, unlike lots of other players. so i'm inclined to call him overrated


even if that makes me flat out wrong. that's what feelings are, after all.

I think HuK deserves to be foreigner #5 over MajOr, HuK's been performing at a similar level but a lot more consistently.

I love the power ranks and more or less agree, but soO could be higher and I think HuK should be above Major for the foreigners.

I agree with everything until Parting, who I think is too high. Anyone who's watched Rain play recently knows that rank 1 is absolutely his, until he stops looking like he can't possibly lose a game.

My Prediction without looking:

1. Flash
2. Zest
3. Taeja
4. Rain
5. Cure
6. SoO
7. Parting
8. Life
9. Innovation
10. Maru

HM: Snute (lol)

Edit: Your rank is weird. (Changed SoS for Maru, because I forgot Maru existed)

I agree with most of the list, albeit I'd put Flash over Maru and change the bottom five a little (soO-Cure-PartinG-Polt-INnoVation is how I'd do it), but I can see where Zealously comes from with most of his choices, which is what really matters.

PartinG and TaeJa above soO, Really?? Also Polt is number #8? Are you kidding me? It's arguable if he would even make Code A, let alone Code S.

You guys give WAY to much credit for people that play outside of Korea.

1.) Rain
2.) soO
3.) Maru
4.) Flash
5.) Zest
6.) Soulkey
7.) Cure
8.) Solar
9.) PartinG
10.) Random foreign Korean, or TeamLiquid player if you people have THAT big of a need to make a list with atleast 1 of those players I.E. TaeJa.

Edit: Slight adjustments
S4 Arrows, never forget. RIP Woongjin Stars.

It may be time to find some new pictures. Maru's picture with the prime shirt is outdated.

Hurray Power Rank!

For the next time please switch to the old format from 10 to 1 like this:
10
9
...
2
1
Most of the fun is gone when you start reading the power rank knowing who is #1

honestly, for august flash should've easily taken number 1 in this ranking. he had an 80% winrate over the best that the world has to give, and as much as i dislike the flash hypetrain, noone can deny that flash's august was one of the strongest months of any starcraft player in history.
