Huh, Life 1st? I don't recall Effort taking 1st spot in Power Rank after beating Flash in OSL final. TaeJa and Zest 1/2 and Life 3rd. One run is not enough.

Same reason people count the Olympics as the most important event in so many sports even though you might find events with a higher level elsewhere.


Just like in tennis where the olympics are weighted the same as a grand slam in rankings! Oh wait...

After the Zest preview article, Life HAD to be number one for winning Blizzcon.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

Worth to note that results wise there's no indication that the number of WCS KR players is that important as WCS KR representatives were in no way dominating.

Yeah and Jamaica Championship in athletism is totally more prestigious than Olympic Games.

These power ranks seem so inconsistent. Sometimes the month performance doesn't seem to matter much more than consistency and sometimes it is enough to instantly catapult a player to rank 1. In the end the WCS finals only were 4 matches. If these ranks were made like the one where Rain won, Bomber should be much higher. He won RBBG and WCS America after all.

I didn't write BW Power Ranks and Flash was a tad more dominant then than soO/Zest are now though

Life 0-2 ByuL - ByuL new #1 on power rank.

Also TaeJa's spot on the rank doesn't mention him at all, just soO, while most of the other players mention TaeJa at least once

Edit: That edit in the OP.

Yea but in your example Flash at least made the finals. Who are you suggesting to be first? Zest or soO maybe? They lost in the first round and still got good spots.

Obviously TaeJa or MMA should be first.

I'm perfectly OK with Life though, he played very well against not-zergs recently.

You shall have this one Zealously, who can really disagree at this point . Nice PR!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Taeja should be #1. His series vs Soo was the best in sc2 history. Life too advantage of bad play conditions at blizzcon. Taeja had to sit up for like 5 extra hours to just play Inno so of course he played poor enough against life to lose the next day

I'd ok with Taeja getting the #1, but Life is good too
