So when should we expect pre-SPL power rank where ST/yFW will be ranked #1?


I'm thinking STFW at #3 right now unless something changes, but I'll consider your input!

As long as you make one post-SPL, It's all cool.

Why was Blizzcon weighted so heavily? There were only 6 WCS KR players at the tournament, so it's hardly representative of the highest levels of skill in the scene. Given that 4 of last months top 10 weren't even at the tournament, it just seems like a really contrived and unnecessary way to say Life is the best player in the world when he almost certainly isn't.


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. The tournament was so prestigious and so important to the players that they would pull no punches and spare no expenses to win their matches. Similar to The International for Dota2 and Worlds for LoL in that regard. Questioning the validity of the tournament's line-up after all three of this year's champions and the four-time finalist were all taken out by players either in Code B or not playing in the GSL seems more funky than anything.


But Zealously, Rain is actually the best player in the world, Artosis said so, and it's just not fair that WCS KR points don't count for more than winning the most stacked tournament of the year by beating arguably 3 of the top 5 players on the planet.

Are you really calling Blizzcon the most stacked tournament of the year?

This has nothing to do with blizzon final standings(then MMA would be higher placed.......). This has to do with the players that Life defeated on his way to winning blizzcon and the way he did it. He defeated Zest, 3-0 PvZ expert San and won over a Taeja that just took out soO and Innovation.

Stop whining about Taeja not playing in GSL and therefore he sucks when he kicked the shit out of both soO and Innovation. Doesn't matter where he plays if he is better than the GSL champion.

Life is nr 1 right now and most arguements against that are just silly. The kings of GSL got their asses handed to them by Taeja and Life, its not a bad dream its reality.

Of course it has to do with Blizzcon final standings. Look at MMAs games in October/November, do 3-1s over StarDust, Bomber and Classic really warrant 6th place?

MMA 1-4 Life
MMA 3-1 Classic
MMA 3-1 Bomber
MMA 3-1 StarDust
MMA 1-2 Happy
MMA 1-2 First
MMA 2-1 Kas
MMA 0-2 poizon (I assume this is a walkover because I don't see how else this would have happened)
MMA 4-2 YoDa
MMA 3-1 San

Compare that to Bomber's:
Bomber 1-3 MMA
Bomber 3-2 Jaedong
Bomber 4-2 Heart
Bomber 3-2 Polt
Bomber 3-1 Pigbaby
Bomber 4-0 Cure
Bomber 3-2 Polt
Bomber 2-0 Trap
Bomber 2-0 DongRaeGu

oh god. ST is notorious for underperforming in team leagues. It would be evil to put those kind of expectations on them

Definitely top 3 still. That run was insane. And that shows he has what it takes. But I'd expect him to go down the ranks if he doesn't keep up this level of play consistently.

This one is kinda biased (sooo much emphasis on blizzcon :D), on the other hand there wasn't really much going on between the last power rank and this one either, so yeah.
But overall not that bad

I would swap MMA on the 9th spot for his honorable performance, put Rain on 10th, remove herO altogether, bump Bomber and the others accordingly, and finally, swap Life and Taeja

So much emphasis on Blizzcon, but I sure can't deny that the players prepared and prepared and prepared, and it showed in game.

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.

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.

TaeJa or Zest. Both will work. Both lost to Life 2-3 so their performance was close to eventual winner.

Life threw game 3 against Zest, so that should have been a 3-0

The bias is strong in this article. Taeja was clearly better than Life this year overall as a player. Life wasn't talked about as much nor did he win nearly as much as Taeja did. The fact he slipped into Blizzcon was astonishing in my opinion.

I'm sure anyone would have been thrown off by having to stay up for an extra 5 hours to play 1 hr worth of gametime in tvt the night before. Can't really blame TaeJa for the venue's problems imo

Im fine with that list, but soO is the best player in the world
In PvZ the zerg can make the situation spire out of control but protoss can adept to the situation.
