We had part 1 two weeks ago with #11- #15 greatest.
It's even linked in the article
I don't actually read these articles, I click thru the rankings then rage when I disagree with them.
If TL ever dumps their rankings like Playboy dumped their nudes, then people like me would have absolutely no reason to open threads like this.
I loved it when we had power ranks more often. I just remember raging so hard after those fools said Innovation was so good and going to crush Maru, then Maru tore him a new one in the GSL semi-finals, totally swept him and made him look terrible (and naturally, I said Maru would win because I'm awesome, or because I'm biased against the elephants) and then Innovation was #1 in the power rank and Maru below him only a few days after Maru's GSL finals win.
Still doesn't make any sense to me. I guess we all have our biases.

Carry on.
You'll fit in well on the internet.
I try.
Maru > Innovation is usually correct but your logic also leads to ranking Seed above MC a year earlier.
This guy missed some important wins by Idra. He also won an IPL in 2001, making him the only foreigner to win an MLG, IEM, and IPL. He should be top 5.

Wow impressive he was the best american player, make him top 1 already
well, Avilo deserves to be #2 ... and he is better than Avilo.. so i don't know how much more proof you need more seriously, i don't think Idra deserves to be in the top 5... he is placed about where he should be on this list.
also, the prize pool for the 1st ever proof-of-concept IPL event was only $5000 and the entire thing from start to finish was online. so grouping that 1st IPL "event" in with the other IPLs held in Las Vegas and then saying "Idra won an IPL" is a big, big stretch.
"Idra's achievements were slightly behind MaNa in the grand scheme of things, like Nerchio. However a majority of Idra's wins came during the early phases of WoL when Zerg was weak."

I still think it was just the biggest throw by intotherainbow and also Ultralisks had that bug where they would splash incredibly, depending on how big the target it was hitting was. Definitely remember watching an Ultralisk wipe a mineral line, due to this bug... Still nonetheless he probably deserved to win.
Edit: nvm I must've been thinking about the semi finals, in the finals Fruitdealer actually just toys with him!

My list would be:
1. Stephano 2. Naniwa 3. Snute 4. Nerchio 5. Huk 6. Mana 7. Sen 8. Scarlett 9. Thorzain 10. Vortix/Lucifron.
Idra might be 11. He would be higher if we were counting more than just the sc2 career.
In that case, Grubby, ToD and Lucifron are easily Top3. All other former wc3 (except HoT) are not worth to count their wc3 performance in that ranking.
