If you read back through the thread you will find tons of people who disagree with Rain being #1. SOLIDARITY

You're not the only one, but I'll ask you the same question I've asked everyone else: how much have you seen of Rain recently?

It's exactly why Ourk and KingKong are ranked so highly

Rain looks in pretty dominant form atm

To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

That line could be from a shady merchant on the street selling some miracle tonic! Sorry it jumped me and wanted out.

I'm curious if there's a ranking anywhere of the best players in the world with a longer time frame in mind. It'd be nice if TL had this as well as the Power Rank. That way fans could see the reasoning behind the power rank in context of the longer term results.

For example: Zest currently holds best in the world honer, but Rain is #1 on Power Rank based on recent beastly results (Show results).

I could be persuaded Rain is playing the best starcraft in the world ATM, but not that he's the Best In The World. Best In the World being a longer term ranking. The distinction being time frame.

Plus TL is one of the few organisations in the world with the credibility to declare a world #1.

Curious what others think ...

Do you guys troll with the rankings just to create controversy, lol? Because my jimmies are rustled.

You and I both know that Flash easily deserves #1 in this ranking.

And I'm a Jaedong fan.

Can anyone do their own power rankings? I mean sure mine will just be a giant picture of Life but it would be nice to have something to do on the first of every month
You make it sound like there's a correlation between what should happen and what actually happens. I mean, life is chaotic and it's often unfair. I know it is for me.

Not only do we do this only to intentionally create controversy, but we specifically targeted your jimmies to be rustled by this list.

cop out move by the writers. Too scared to put a foreigner in the actual top 10 because of the backlash
