Please don't drop this again. I really enjoy SC2 PR.

Many Terrans appear underrated, especially TY, Gumiho, Maru, Special, Kelazhur on the other hand personally I think their strength is somewhat balance related and may be fixed to some degree by nearest patch. In general, Korean rank is slightly flawed but reflects the trends, WCS ranking is also fairly ok and justified for the time it reflects. Good article overall, thanks..

Yep. Inno is the only case imo at least to challenge Stats there, but Stats at #9 is a slap to his face.

Well Stats did lose to iA, which doesn't exactly help his case for being #1. It's also been quite awhile since Stats won GSL, while players like herO/Rogue/Inno have won more recently.

I'd personally have it at
6. Nerchio
7. TRUE
8. Kelazhur
9. uThermal
10. PtitDrogo

ShoWTimE vs PtitDrogo is super debatable - really, the entire top 10 is, the top 5 is much more concrete - but IMO they had similar HSC success, PtitDrogo did better at Valencia due to ShoWTimE failing out really earlier in qualifiers, and PtitDrogo had a nice Jonkoping run. You have to go back to Austin to find a major tournament ShoWTimE significantly did better than Drogo at, and that's quite a while ago, but maybe if I analyzed the online stuff more I'd come to a different conclusion. iAsonu doesn't get a top 10 spot because he didn't play at Valencia and his Jonkoping performance was poor, but he'd probably show up on the top 15. MaSa, Scarlett and Harstem would fill out my top 15 probably.

Also, am I missing something about the Kelazhur hype? I don't get why he's being argued for top 5; he hasn't made a finals like the top 3, he's been significantly outperformed by SpeCial domestically, and he got 3-0'd by Snute last tournament. Sure he's a crazy talented player, but I don't think his results are top 5 worthy. It's not like his online results are crazy either, but maybe other people are seeing something I'm not.

This power rank looks heavily based on the results of IEM Shanghai, with the disturbing exception of TY.
And ByuN ranked this high simply because he showed up at HSC (any Korean player on this list could have made to the finals) and kept abusing reapers to cheese out the better player Soo is even more disturbing. He got trashed by Stats at GSL and he isn't in SSL premier at all, so HSC and IEM Shanghai over the Starleagues?

i feel like Classic is a little high at No. 4. But to rank the players is pretty hard right now. i guess inno is an easy pick at No. 1 but behind that nearly every player had a lot of up and downs.

It's a WCS ranking, not limited to non-Koreans!

this ranking must be from an parallel universe where Byun and TY switched IDs.There are no objective reasons to consider Byun to be better than TY.
The two reasons TY is so underrated by the most people are that he´s not playing a lot of tournaments and he´s looking like a genius when he wins but unbelievably awful when he lose.

The objective reason is that TY has barely played anything in the past few months and so there's practically nothing to judge his 'Power' by.


And ByuN has? I suppose the list is based of online performances? Because ByuNs best result all year is a ro4 at IEM, which TY also did (along with a year of better results than Byun)
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Yes. Almost 5 times as many tournament games if we include online (and even offline only, it's more than twice as many). And what their best result across the whole year is doesn't matter when judging players by current form.

Seriously, how many times have we seen someone win a tournament only to get crushed in groups the next time they play 3 weeks later?

It's always been this way. Doesn't matter what you did 3 or 6 months ago.

Right, so when Gumiho won GSL then started losing to "lesser" players at IEM and HSC shortly after, why is he on here?

Results 3 or 6 months ago matter when a player has been consistant for that time. TY has his WeSG/IEM win, consecutive GSL playoffs, and then a ro4 at IEM. To me, that shows he's stronger than guys like ByuN that don't have any exceptional results but play more often

If you really wanna say TY hasn't won a tournament in 4-5 months and so doesn't deserve a spot then fine. But then why is Solar on the list? All he has in an SSL final from last season. Why is Dark on here when he's been going downhill for months? The only justification is that Solar and Dark are in SSL (and TY isn't), which they aren't even doing that well in
