Go HuK! I want many many interviews with HuK! Go Scarlett! Show how it can be mentally strengthening to try your luck in the hardest competition in the world! Go Polt! Switch back to your god mode and show everyone who doubts you who you are Cptn.! And Snute could win it all? :-) | ||

Unfortunately I rate Scarlett's consistent failures in her region - losing to Semper in Kings of the North, PiLiPiLi/JonSnow in Dreamhack Austin Qualifiers, Drunkenboi in Regionals, puCK in GPL - higher than her relative success in one game out of 3 against Bomber/Ryung and two games out of 3 against Elazer in GPL. I might've bumped her up with SSL results, but by then the article was largely finished and the bump-up wouldn't be significant anyway. Note that JonSnow was one game away from beating Hydra in Dreamhack Austin. One game matters a lot. | ||

He’ll be horribly shown up at an event, and blitz his way through the next, Sounds like a cool story, but I don't remember that this is actually true. If anything I remember Polt as someone who always shows up at a high consistency. His atrocious performance vs Firecake is not something that I remember having seen before. Also given that Polt has lots the last few series vs Neeb and the last series vs Puck, I don't believe you can justify him at #1. I am not sure I would even have him at top 5. | ||

He even beat Bails in a showmatch afterwards, which alongside his good performance in WCS prior pushes him up quite nicely. Now let's look at the reasoning for Scarlett: INnoVation, Ryung, Zoun, herO and Bomber. This matches her generally underwhelming performance throughout Legacy of the Void. A win over Elazer at WCS Shanghai was a welcome surprise, but even then, puCK knocked her out and stole the show. So for some reason Scarlett's win over Elazer gets downplayed whereas Iaguz who basically only has beaten Australians througout LOTV and won one seires over a mediocore NA player - Bails - gets rewarded. Talking about Bails, Scarlett is 11-5 over Bails over the last 3 months. But for some reason, its problematic when Scarlett loses to Scarlett. I am sure Iaguz would beat Innovation and Ryung on the other hand. These types of rankings are a recurring theme in TLs power rankings. Some stuff are just not a matter of opinion, but straight up wrong in every single way you can look at it. | ||

I might've bumped her up with SSL results, but by then the article was largely finished and the bump-up wouldn't be significant anyway. Your just nitpicking here on her bad results. She played a ton of games in LOTV and ofc she is gonna lose too worse players once in a while. But on average, her results are a clear level above that of Iaguz. The argument of rating Iaguz above that of Scarlett because he managed to beat Bails is one of the worst I have ever heard. And if you are going to nitpick on bad results, why not look at Iaguz's 1-8 receord vs PIG!!!! Pig is worse than Drunkenboi, Semper, Jonsnow, Pilipi or whoever Scarlett has lost to (once - like she usually beats Drunkenboi). And Iaguz has no wins that are as good as those of Scarlett. but if any other North American player had her results there’d be almost no hype going into Tours for them And how did you manage to get from "no reason to hype her up" to "one of the worst players at the tournmant". Noone expects her to win nor believe she is one of the favourites. However, she is unqestionably better than some of the better ranked players - most obviously Iaguz, who probably is the worst player at the tournament. | ||
