Funny how the undisputed #16 in the PR is in the RO8 but the undisputed #1 isn't

No we need power ranks. Just because reality doesn't play out as the ranking doesn't mean the ranking wasn't good.
This isn't about making it out of groups, it's about the "best player".
Byun number one was the right choice, him losing against Zest doesn't change that

yea tiers wouldn't be nearly as fun, definitely enjoy the absolute rankings even if it only has a ~0.0001% chance of being "correct"
fuck the haters

btw, Pet is winning the tournament and Byun is out, your power rank sucks!

Because he's herO and he got a lot of wins in Proleague or something. I dunno. He'd still have been in my top 10 but definitely lower.

Zest decided to have a good PvT again. He was playing badly this season but when you show such prowess (his PvT seemed reallyyy unbeatable in a series the first GSL), doing badly in GSL/SSL doesn't mean you'll perform equally as bad in things such as Kespa Cup.
He was definitely hard to rank.
Pet was a safe #16 but the favorites only win 2/3 of times, sometimes Pet have to win.

Doesn't seem like Power Rankings to me, looks more like... uh, Powerless Rankings.

Don't worry, my trash talk will get better. Probably.

Pet is horrible, Trap is weak, Rogue and Zest have both had very very middling form recently, while herO/patience are totally arguable - I just haven't seen enough from herO, and his decisive losses in the Ro8 of both GSLs are the main thing I've seen from his year.



apparently only a current champion will impress you lmao

PR should be more based on 'results' (in the past year), rather than 'form' (in the past month or two). Especially since 'form' in SC2 fluctuates so much (Zest slumping in Season 2, and now Byun slumping too), and ' results' is based on a player's peak and consistency.

Zest is ranked too low in this PR. Terrible recent form? So what? That doesn't take away his strong performances and results in the first half of a year.

Djokovic has been slumping last few months. Doesn't mean he slides out of the Top 5 so abruptly.

(BTW, I mentioned this previously even before KeSPA Cup)

Why is everyone saying Byun is slumping? I really don't get it. The only loses he's had recently are to Dark and Zest. Both of whom have litterally been the best of their races in LoTV. Against any other Zerg or Protoss Byun would have won both series.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs
