btw why did vortix forfeit his spot? I definitely remember seeing here that he'd participate the next big event from Leipzig.

I really disagree with Elazer, feels like he should be a lot higher, and im still not sold on need as top8

Nice article!

Hope Mana does better than the rank that he's given. I'm expecting big things from Serral and Neeb, and very interested to see Happy's performance.

BAD power ranking

My power rank. mine is more accurate cuz i do them 24/7 obvsiouly:

1. (+1) Hydra
2. (+3) Polt
3. (-2) Nerchio
4. (+4) Neeb
5. (-1) MarineLorD
6. (+9)Lilbow
7. (+4) Happy
8. (-2) Snute
9. (+1) viOLet
10. (-3) Serral
11. (-2) ShoWTimE
|the showtime line, winner comes from players above 100%|
12. (+1) Bunny
13. (-10) PtitDrogo
14. (o) FireCake
15. (+6)Elazer
16. (+2) Harstem
17. (o) Dayshi
18. (-6)Bly
19. (+6)Kelazhur
20. (-4) TLO
21. (+9)MajOr
22. (-3) Xigua
|Xigua line. players below would NOT reach RO8 with good seeding system / double elim|
23. (-1) SortOf
24. (o) MaNa
25. (+3) HuK
26. (+1) puCK
27. (-1) Has
28. (-8)iAsonu
29. (-6)Lambo
30. (-1) MaSa
31. (o) PiLiPiLi
32. (o) PiG




All the players whose rank is questionable (in both directions) i marked.
This is not including the fucked up brackets, its just player strengh right now.

Elazer only 21?

I dont know either. He is better than most of the 10-20 guys. Definitely better than Dayshi - 0 results in LOTV, Lilbow, TLO, Harstem, Bunny, Happy(won one online event and has 0 offline results). I though it is LOTV power rank but it looks more like some LOTV heroes + HOTS hall of fame without any LOTV results...Terrible Power Rank.

Really good read, also i disagree a lot with the ranking.

MajOr is absolutly destroying the EU ladder, i know its offline, but still i believe he should be 10 ranks higher.
Bunny last games looked really bad and shaky, nothing compared to his old strenght. Happy has a sick lategame, but i wouldn´t place him that high. Ptitdrogo 15 ranks to high.

Will be a blast to watch, really excited to see how wrong i am!

Huh, MarineLord pretty high considering this is an offline event, but whatever.

Then the obvious surprising ranks that have been mentioned, but overall pretty good effort.

Elazer way too low, Showtime a bit too low, PtitDrogo and Nerchio a bit too high.
But really good power rank overall.

I just wanna mention something about Elazer- I did this ranking before GPI and other things recently came out where he had a really, really strong run. He'd definitely be higher, but it was pretty tight and I'd rather release it on time than miss out entirely. Glad you enjoyed it!

Nice write-up, but come one, both no. 1 and no. 3 will get out in the first round! :-)
I would be happy to see both PiG and HuK survive the first round, but they will not :-)
So go Snute go!
And as I pretty much liked the IEMs in the past, for the first time I hope, it will be won by a Koreigner :-) Captain America, go for it, you deserve it!

The Anti NA bais man, how is Aisonu, Lambo, Xigua and sortof above Kelazhure? Not to mention Puck, HuK, Major and MaSa all of whom have been putting up some solid results in online tournaments. Where have Sortof and the Chinese scrubs been while the NA guys have been trading series with polt, Hydra, and Violet??

Also Neeb and Ptitdrogo should be switched, I heard Ptitdrogo himself say Neeb is the best protoss on EU server atm.

I can't wait for NA region to wreck face in WCS, its going to be awesome.

OMG the Bracket is sooo STACKED :O We will probably see an insane amount of skills and superb game with all these top level player!'' - said no one ever

Enjoy your WCS, im gonna watch PL and GSL, where theres not any racist rules there yet. And great players. Have fun
WCS is a shitty joke, with racist rules. Support players who deserves it instead of foreigner scrubs who dont work half as much as koreans. JUN TAEYANG IS THE BEST <3
