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

According to Aligulac, TaeJa is:

5-1 vs Zest
4-3 vs Solar
And 1-3 vs Flash. He did not play any other players of your list in the last two months, but regarding this results I don't see why he cannot be ahead of Solar and Zest at this point.




Would you consider Shine to be above Soulkey?

Edit: or Polt above TaeJa?

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.


Unless you have been a BroodWar fan like me XD. I was a fan when he was still the Cheddar/Cheese nobody Terran lol. In this case you'll know Flash isn't riding the hype train, he's ridin' the PAIN TRAIN. Watch out folks, hide your kids, hide your spouses, "god"/Terminator/The Ultimate Weapon/Little Monster is gonna give you guys a relevation!

The power ranking is fair for Flash, after all he dominated #1 for months in BW lol... Power Ranking is mostly about consistency for #1, the ability to keep hammering it in. Rain clearly is #1 at the moment.

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

I agree with this
Life has won two GSLs and a Blizzard Cup. NOT three GSLs.

I actually agree with the rankings, I'd see the CURRENT effOrt and Life in there, prolly in place of Polt and INno?

Just 1 Zerg in there and that one on 7 makes me sad, even as a Protoss fanboy^^

Power Rank drama never ceases to entertain. Mark my words, in about 6 months, as Flash dominance is established beyond doubt, the rules will shift into Power Ranking being mostly about who's strongest this month, to add some variety to #1. X royal roads the sole major tournament of the month in Europe, all hail X as #1.

Nihil novi sub sole. If you followed BW Power Ranking, you know this is the truth.

I was about to post how stupid it is that Rain takes 1st but apparently he has had very good month, didn't even realize.

Good to see PR again!

Would you consider Shine to be above Soulkey?

Edit: or Polt above TaeJa?


Shine has not gotten anywhere in any tourney in the last two months, so he has no business on this list.

The people Polt has beaten to get second place in Atlanta were all non-koreans. For the run in Detroit he beat San and violett (besides Taeja), not really the strongest opponents.

Taeja on the other hand has beaten Zest and violet in Toronto and Life, MMA, Zest, Jaedong and Solar in Shenzen. I think the difference in quality of opponents should be obvious. Therefore I would not put Polt ahead of Taeja.

If you look at the quality of the opponents that Solar has beaten in the last two months, I'd say Taeja has beaten the same quality of players as Solar has. Also, Solar placed Second in one premier tournament (Shenzen) since the beginning of july while Taeja won Shenzen, was the runner-up in Detroit and got into the semif-finals in Toronto. Finally, Their winrates against koreans is very similar around 65%, with 37-22 (90-56 in Maps) for Solar vs 12-6 (31-23 in maps) for Taeja. Therefore I'd take the direct confrontation more into account.

Edit: Looking through the results, I would agree though that zest could well be ahead of Taeja in the ranking.

I don't think PartinG deserves a spot here, otherwise I pretty much agree with this ranking.
PartinG hasn't performed up to his old standards in a long time. He is a great player, he consistently goes code S. Congratulations, he consistently gets code S and he consistently bombs out there, he hasn't gotten past the quarterfinals this year in Code S I think. You rate soO below him...

Hehe, besides all that stuff I really love the powerranking and I am so happy it is back, the foreigner version is also very nice. Especially now when we actually have a few skilled foreigners(What is going on!), looking forward to Bunny climbing to number 1!

Taeja, Polt and Innovation in the top 10...
This must be a joke, come on guys, foreign teams doesnt mean they deserve to be overhyped like this.
Taeja 4th is the biggest joke tho.
