Next spot could be Neeb, or TY, or soO. A single amazing run basically describes TY's 2017. Not only that, but TY's was 7 months ago compared to GuMiho's being approximately 4.

People never seem to talk about it on here for some reason he also beat Neeb who is a better player than Gumiho  bringing us all back to the fact that the Unofficial World Champion is the only true way to measure Starcraft skill Mvp was the GOAT but Inno beat him H2H so he is GOAT but Taeja beat him H2H so thefore Taeja confirmed GOAT. It is known. TRUE beats Taeja head-to-head and TL had the nerve to put him 15th....smh Clearly another case of egregious Liquid bias.
TRUE is the one true GOAT. The throne is his by rights. All those who deny that are my foes.

I mean ... soO wasn't even in all GSL finals this year and neeb was only one game away from qualifying for it, so it's only fair to rank him higher.

honestly I have neeb at #3 in my power rankings so it doesn't bother me too much for him to be ahead of gumiho

Don't understand the popular #8 place prediction for soO, he should obviously get the #2 rank :D
However, still a good read for a fabulous player.

He did indeed take korean PvP by storm with his superior expirience of disruptor-stalker control, and he did indeed win a korean tournament with it. And while that is an incredible achievment, it's not on the same level as winning GSL. In fact it's not even close.
i'd argue that it's on the same level as winning a GSL, just different format. "In fact," it's an opinion.

Gumiho is saving his best builds for blizzcon.

Go ahead and argue it, I'm yet to see any reason other than "they're both in korea".

Why isn't Mvp #1 in this power rank? I heard he was the best in the world in 2011. nice straw man, and a completely idiotic response to my post. but thanks for your contribution I'm going to be honest, I have a hard time taking anyone seriously who defaults to just saying inane things like 'nice straw man.' Why don't you try explaining your point instead of being even more awful than the person you chastise?

At this point, I think it would be fairly straightforward to finalize the Terran hierarchy for 2017. Inno is unquestionably first. TY clearly takes second. After that though, it gets murkier. Maru, then Gumiho, then ByuN, then aLive, then Ryung, would be my ranking. But I can see how people could rank them differently.
Well, the power ranking should be more about current form then overall season achievements. TY clearly (imo) had a better year than gumiho but he didn't look particularly strong lately.

Gumiho's most recent offline trophy was winning GSL Season 2. Since then he has gotten no further than the Ro16 of any big tournament.
TY's most recent offline trophy was way back in March. But while Gumiho's been dropping out in the Ro16, TY has gotten to the quarterfinals of GSL S3, the semifinals of IEM Shanghai, and the finals of GSL vs the World.
Gumiho plays some online stuff, but TY basically never does, so it's hard to draw any conclusions from that. On the balance, I would put TY > Gumiho more than the other way around.

It is most certainly a fact that a KeSPA Cup takes place over a few days while a GSL Season spans a few months. Starleagues outrank any weekender for that exact reason. It's far more difficult to stay in top form for several months than it is for several days.

(Scarlett and Showtime at an event that is supposedly pitting the top non-Koreans against the top Koreans? Scarlett brings world class whining and nothing else. Showtime isn't close to the player he was in 2016)
TY does play in some online tournaments. Take a look at one of the only major online tournaments: Master's Coliseum. -GuMiho won the 1st which included eliminating TY in the group stages. -GuMiho made the ro8 in the 2nd while TY was eliminated in the group stages though TY's group was by far the hardest. (he went 2-6 in maps though and finished last...)

I feel pain for those pros players who've tried to read this ranking. Probably it gives some dismoral for them.
Neeb is cool lil dude, no questions. I respect him, as like others. But from another side I can't say this is right thing to put him above Gumiho. Gumiho has a style. Unique style. And it's fair to say it. He got his nickname gumiGOD no just because it was a lame joke. Look what have he done. Created so many things for us and he won GSL. People copy him and calling him gumiGOD. While Neeb is just copying someone the whole year. And can't beat terran's ass on ladder. I watched so many ladder games with him against Maru (5-0 one day) or Cure (9-3 another day). It was a disaster for him. But somehow people saying, hey, he is better then Gumiho. It's wrong not to say from community to Gumiho that he is doing it right for so long time, and finlally he made it, he is on top.

yup this article is clearly saying that Gumiho is a lame joke
please try harder

I think so much is dependent on match ups/the groups - that it is pointless to get too hung up on 1-2 spot differences in power rankings. I get it.. they are fun, but in the end the players that can perform in the moment will be made clear in the next couple of weeks.

Offline > Online every day of the week.
Beating Dark in a series is quite the achievement, given that Dark is either the greatest or second-greatest Zerg currently playing. It's also something that Gumiho has never managed to do–Dark 8-0 Gumiho in career records. Also, TY beat Neeb and soO to get to the GSL vs the World finals. If you want to call soO, outside of a finals no less, "absolutely nobody of note" then I think it's safe to discount Gumiho's GSL Season 2 trophy as well.
Ergo, TY > Gumiho.
