I love it when pros react to their placements in PowerRankings. I hope Nerchio shows up and make the TL writers feel embarrassed.

Just to clarify this, we don't actually feel embarrassed if we're wrong. We laugh at people who claim to have known it better all along.

A foreigner in top10 power rank? on teamliquid? Dreams are made of this

That was a long time ago since that happened...


Well to be fair, seeing as how foreigners make up 3/16 of the available spots, it's not too hard to be in the top ten of a power ranking (especially with players like Pet, True, and Trap ranked as they are).

Sorry but this sentence sounds so much like when you're in elementary school and everybody laughs at you and, with tear-filled eyes, you shout whatever comeback you can think of at the crowd before running to your teacher to seek comfort...

Anyway that's the rule of power ranks : make biased predication, brag when you're right, be laughed at when you're wrong, just embrace it, and laugh with us

What a silly argument. Any sort of player skill evaluation is, by definition, biased. Skill isn't something you can objectively measure. And it isn't like we all agreed on everything and rigged this ranking in favor of anyone. Each of us had their own ranking and we then put them together. This is the result.

So what if we're wrong? This is something to get the community interested in the event, and get people talking. That's the point. The point is not to be entirely correct and show that we know better. If it were, sure we'd be bragging about it. And we'd be embarrassed if we were wrong.

But there'll always be people commenting that don't get what this is about, you included. And that's laughable. Especially if those people show up afterwards. Knowing better in hindsight is not a skill.

Is it possible to have an unofficial Power Rank on the general sc2 forum (reviewed beforehands) or it absolutely has to be put on blogs?

There's a community PR in general I believe

ROFL, it's not an argument : we agree

Ofc it's biased we all know it and that's why we love the power ranks, what are you even getting mad at? Every (e)sport discussion is biased, ever heard people talking about soccer???

Just chill out dude...

I mean if you can't relax and just take it easy, maybe it means you give more importance to this PR than you care to admit? I mean you can't be serious about a PR, can you???

That's why the above "laughing at hindsight" was a joke. A jab back at people jabbing us. It's all good fun.

I definitely feel more confident about Neeb's chances making the ro4. I don't know how Pet or Neeb will play, but I feel that Neeb's played harder zerg opponents over the last year than Pet has.

Also, depending on bracket luck, but I think that if Solar/Maru don't land on Neeb's side of the bracket, then he has a chance at getting ro4 and potentially even making the finals. Solar's looking really solid, and so I think he'll go out first in his group, but I don't know if Maru will make it out seeing as his performance against Protoss has been pretty lacklustre (53% winrate in LotV).

As for Protoss, I think Neeb has a decent chance against any of the Protoss left in the tournament. He may not win, but I don't think he's terribly disadvantaged against any of the remaining Protoss.

We can see if the TL power rank curse works on Neeb as he has been placed way too high compared to Pet.

I thought the power rank was a predicted order of elimination thing :O
Hehehehe




(This is joke. I too thought herO would get out )

We all thought herO would get out :-)
And I am sad that after Pet's plays against herO, the TY's amazing OP Mech and True's neural parasited Mothership, we do not have three players progressing today ...

I have a feeling Neeb might surprise and win his group.
I think esports is pretty nice.
