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

Taeja beat Zest twice recently, and Solar as well (I think). Idk about Taeja above soO either, but it really doesn't make sense to me how people can say Taeja isn't top ten in the world with his consistently great results....

As always, there are a few things to take into consideration while reading this Power Rank:
  • The Power Rank focuses most on the month pertains to, but also takes past results into account
  • The Power Rank takes into account both results and the difficulty of opponents faced.
  • A player's placement on the Power Rank does not suggest that the player is better or worse than a higher ranked player in head-to-head. This ranking is an overall appraisal of a player, not an attempt to answer the question ”Who beats who?”
</div>


So given the above, I just cannot understand how Flash is not rank 1. I don't consider myself a Flash fanboy but given your own descriptions I don't understand how Rain usurps Flash for the month of August.

Even in Power Rank toss OP?

I agree with Polt being overhyped and should not be on this list.

I remember Power Rank to feature players with the most "velocity" atm, and Polt has nothing noteworthy on him this month, relative to the others.

I just wonder how much Taeja has to win against Code S players before blind KeSPA fanboys like you would recognize he's one of the best in the world. It's starting to resemble religious fanaticism, the way you deny reality. It's getting creepy. Even Snute stomped all over your precious gods the past weeks.


Don't worry dude getting 3-0'ed and/or losing to foreigners gives credit to KeSPA.

If Flash gets #3 for having an amazing month then Cure should be higher than he is as this month was almost as crazy for him. After watching his code S games he looks... scary.
But he is never making short-term prediction, everyone of his prediction are based on fundenmentals, but he doesn't exactly know when it will happen... So using these kind of narrowed "who-is-right" empirical analysis makes little sense.

The summer of taeja part 3 allowed him to become the player with the most premier tourney wins ever, granted not gsl but e crushes when he wins. And may I remind u. Polt is a gsl champion, for him to not make code s is retarded

Also where's Classic? Most recent GSL champion doesn't even get top 10? Polt higher than classic because he won an event where he only had to play two strong opponents?

Classic is one of worst gsl champs in history, down there with sniper and seed and arguably roro

woah there buddy, there's no way anyone undeserving could win GSL now that Kespa has arrived and have taken over the scene. don't compare classic to those players.
