TY, Rogue, and INnoVation (by far) are the players that have dominated the "best player in the world" conversation for 2017.


Alright, Inno I get, but to say TY and Rogue have dominated is just wrong. Stats has had a better year than either of them.

I'm not talking about who is actually the best. I'm talking about who the community has been claiming is the best. There is a difference.

Stats has a pretty legitimate claim for being the best player of 2017. His consistency across the whole year has been incredible. Inno probably has the best claim simply because he's won so many more trophies than everyone else, but whereas people loved to talk about TY at the beginning of the year and love to talk about Rogue now, Stats barely gets any attention despite having a better claim than either of them.

Hype isn't always tied to skill. Inno has tons of hype and skill, ByuN has more hype than skill, and Stats has more skill than hype.

TY is as overhyped as ByuN imo. He's been unimpressive (certainly not bad by any means but nothing exceptional) in the last six months yet people still consider him one of the very best. He's been on a slow upswing though, so maybe he do well at Blizzcon.

It's a Blizzcon power rank, so the list will be disregarded if you include sOs, ByuN, Maru.

One thing I don't get ... how will the OP differentiate between 9th-16th place? They're all in the same place as far as the tournament goes and all those in 5th-8th will also be sort of indistinguishable. Similarly I don't think there's any distinction made at the tournament between 3rd and 4th place.

Possibly something like:

16 - first place
15 - second place
27 (14+13) if both third and fourth place are present (order not important), 13 if only one is present, 0 otherwise
42 (woot!) (12+11+10+9) if all four of the 5th-8th place members are present, 30 (11+10+9) if one is missing, etc
36 (8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1) if all 8 of the last members are present, etc

Of course, you could just send them a validation email.

I think the goal is just to make a Community Power Rank, it is not a contest to predict BlizzCon results.

Stats is perhaps the most underrated and overlooked player of 2017 despite showing insane consistency in big tournaments and more than that, he did what Innovation could not. He carried the entire Protoss race by himself in its darkest time early this year when PVT winrate in professional games dropped to 40% and all the other big names of KR Protoss were nowhere to be seen. It's true that Innovation has been looking dominant all year long but his dominance is (as always)based on the overall superior situation of Terran, and last year when Terran was the inferior race in Korea Innovation basically disappeared.

However as a Stats fan I'd rather he keeps getting overlooked/underrated by the majority of community since the last thing I want is getting his reputation damaged by some annoying reddit fan boys, I mean just look at those of ByuN's.

I feel like everyone is criminally underrating herO's recent form. I feel like a top 5 is some order of Innovation / Rogue / Dark / Stats / herO and have a hard time seeing anyone else in that group but would love to hear arguments for otherwise.

INnoVation spendt a lot of 2016 in LoL, as he stated in an interview, until a showmatch that he had to play during Blizzcon woken him.

Stats is, imo, the second best player of 2017, but I have some concerns about his current form.
