There aren't that many Terrans

How Bunny ended up behind Impact or jjakji is beyond me though. Bunny is a top 16 GSL player who just barely didn't make it through the online qualifiers on EU. Impact didn't even make Code S and has no other notable results this year, and jjakji's form got worse almost immediately after Ggyeongi.


Rankings by everyone else


:/

Fire everyone else, have munch do everything.

Wasn't that last year? xD

Seriously though, I've had a couple of big courseworks over the past two months so I haven't been able to watch as much as I'd wanted, so I let everyone else do the rankings

No other foreigners have won a tournament in Korea other than Neeb in sc2. And I wouldn't say he stomps the floor with most Koreans although he is solid


Maybe not the top 8, but Neeb is better than the vast majority of Koreans.

It's not the vast majority he's dealing with at this tournament though. It's the top.

Neeb is very good, probably the best foreigner right now, but do people really think he's as good as Stats or herO right now?
Even those two have trouble standing up to the Korean Terrans.

In global events, it's usually the Korean Terrans that look invincible, and I'm pretty sure ByuN, TY, and INnoVation are not going to disappoint.


Showtime in particular got screwed over by the brackets. He has the skill to go far, but if anyone else strong gets put into his group then there's a good chance he won't be making it out. As good as he is, Dark stomps foreign hopes (Blizzcon anyone?) and INnoVation made him look like a scrub at NationWars and Inno hasn't exactly gotten weaker since then. Quite the opposite.

Its such a shame Maru didn't qualify, out of all the koreans that wreck foreigners he is most fun to watch for sure. aLive better put in some work.

Also last time zest was in this cup no one thought he had a chance and he still won 😉
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

A good power rank can predict upsets.

I bet this one will turn out bad. I am smart.

Still, it doesn’t excuse the fact that 2017 has been a little lacklustre.


Not sure I agree with this entirely, Dark has had a lack luster 2017 because Terran has been buffed significantly and Zerg has become slightly weaker in the meta, pretty sure these were major contributions. Zerg was a bit stronger in the meta in 2016 and Dark was on fire, right place at the right time scenario.

Dark patchzerg confirmed?

Just like Inno is a patchterran. And Zest was a patchtoss in Season 1 2016. And how every progamer doing well that you don't personally like is a patch[insert-race-you-dislike].

Well, it shoud be terran patch but Inno Maru and TY got eliminated in 24h. Weakest race this patch (zerg) can take code s in season 1 At the end of day winner just wants it more then rest. Look PiliPili yesterday, dude was in a zone and BANG games were looking amazing.

Rankings like these will always get some complaints. For me however my reference point is the recent WESG where the Koreans and the Foreigners met. Basing on that tourney Neeb and Showtime should be ranked higher. These 2 are the top foreigners right now (w/ Nerchio as the 3rd). They only bow to top tier Korean Terrans as shown in WESG. Neeb rekked Showtime in the 3rd place match so I say he should be ranked higher than Showtime

Why is innovation #1? I'm not doubting he's a great player, definitely top 5, but it just seems like people jump on the innovation band wagon the second he shows some sparks and are ready to name him the GOAT automatically. Byun at #3? I realize he's reigning blizzcon champ, which is huge, but he hasn't had his mojo lately at all. Weak power rank all around. There is no forumula for these things, just the opinions of the author.

Lack of arguments for practically everyone else attending this tournament when compared to INnoVation.

what the writers couldn't possibly foresee was The Passport's potential destructive power that could possibly upset this entire tournament
I'm sorry for all those that got their hearts broken by Zest | Zest, Bisu, soO, herO, MC, Maru, TY, Rogue, Trap, TaeJa", Favourite foreigners: ShoWTimE, Snute, Serral and Nerchio| KT BEST KT |

in terms of formula, Inno is also #1 atm, his winrate recently is insanely high. Tell me anyone is performing better than him ?
