I don't see any justification for herO and Dark at #1. The other 3 sure.


On current form you could easily justify either of them at number 1, its the power rank so its based on recent results. Just look at herO's online form http://aligulac.com/players/233-herO/


But online always has an * next to it. herO is in good form for sure but he hasn't won anything offline since the first super tournament. Rogue, Innovation and Stats have won the last 4 offline events (IEM Rogue, GSL S3 Inno, SSL Stats, GSL super tournament Rogue) the actual current winners have to be placed in front imo.


But SSL and GSL finished more than a month ago, I don't really see how those are relevant to a list like this.

Thx, hexhaven.
Dark, what a cool guy. I wish him all the best. Dark gogo finals vs Rogue!
Maru, he is the reason why i'm still playing and watching sc2

I agree with this placing.

Question: I will be in Seoul for the next month or so. Will there be some kind of public viewing? Possibly in the usual GSL-place near the Samseong Station?

Why would Rogue be ranked ahead of Dark or Stats? Stats beat him in the rd of 8 at GSL s 3. Rogue was not even in SSL premier s 2, finished 4th in challenge and he did not play well in Master's Coliseum. He makes the final 8 by the skin of his teeth and now he is god?

I know the WCS ranking in points is insignificant to how players will do at Blizzcon. The #1 never wins it but this is not handicapping this is ranking players. Rogue is not like sOs where he has world championships under his belt. Why is he ranked so high?

As for Dark he meets Kelazhur in his first match Saturday. I think we all know how that will turn out. Hard to imagine he won;t make it out of that group and then it depends on his draw.

When you only have korean tournaments every month or so, results from a month ago still have some weight.

Otherwise the list is purely based of the most recent tournament. Which would be pointless, may as well just copypaste the ST2 results
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

The power ranking is based on every writer having a say, so it's not just a single person's opinion. Some have probably rated Dark higher than #4, some lower. The rankings were also finalized a while ago, so the most recent matches are not included.

Edit: If TL staff think otherwise they are noobs.
