If only they cared about the $100.000 pay check they might have played seriously! Because this tournament doesn't have a loser's bracket, there's going to be a good deal more variance in the results. So I think too much weight was placed on Blizzcon results in these rankings. Also, did you do the ranking? Do you really think that Life is the best player overall at the moment? I realize he won blizzcon and that should count for a lot, but Life is here instead of someone like Soulkey because he gets sent to foreign tournaments, not because he's the best Zerg in Korea. Also putting someone like MMA in this ranking is a bit absurd. If he were playing solely in Korea what odds would you give him of making it to Blizzcon -- 1 in 20, 1 in 50? Taeja is very good but again, he benefits so much from participating in foreign tournaments that it's hard to say exactly how good he is. Power rank should be split into two rankings -- one for Korean-Koreans and one for everyone else. | ||

Power rank should be split into two rankings -- one for Korean-Koreans and one for everyone else. Actually it's fairly simple - TaeJa is extremely/godly good. But GSL format does not serve him well, he definitely is stronger in weekend tournaments. So I'd say it's easier for him to play to his advantage rather than to his opponents weakness. At BlizzCon MMA did beat Classic, reigning WCS AM champion and previous WCS EU champion. While it's hard also for me to believe it, MMA is back to being very strong player - just not the one we knew at the end of 2011. I agree with Life assessment - I just don't know what Soulkey is doing there :O | ||

Lines like this "The Liquid Terran is a monster in tournaments where instincts, composure and mechanics play a larger role than preparation. He excels in turning chaos into his order" make E-sports seem childish and not serious. "Chaos into order?" Can you imagine this being said about Tiger woods, Michael Jordan or Peyton Manning? No. They're not gods or mythical legends, they're human beings who play sports exceptionally well. These guys work their asses off to be the best, yes they have crazy amounts of talent but their attitudes is what makes them the best. More talk of Life re-dedicating himself to the game and now seeing that commitment pay-off would be both more realistic and helpful to aspiring gamers and fans than comic book, over the top language. A little more realism would be nice. | ||
