As far as super recent form they both did poorly in Master's coliseum and Stats is 6-4 in his last 10 matches where Rogue is 6-3-1.

I know this is all in fun to provoke discussion and debate leading up to Blizzcon but the rankings have to be somewhat credible. I would have put Rogue 4th behind Inno, Stats and Dark.

Honestly, Rogue was not even being considered among the best until he won the super tournament to now have him as a favourite above Stats and possibly innovation is just wrong even if he is in good form.

Rogue has a draw? Where? Against who?

I know that Stats has a large fan base, and I like him as well. But if I have to calm my emotions and be objective then not only I put Rogue above him, but herO is above Stats as well by means of form.

I know that herO doesn't have many fans, and some don't even like his play style (I'm one among them), but by means of form and chances of winning it all herO has more then Stats.

Since when is it only about form? And what does that mean how a guy played this week only?

At Master's coliseum 2 these are the matches Rogue played.

In group. 2-0 vs TIME, 1-1 vs Elazer, 0-2 vs Classic, vs Byun was a wash because Byun did not show.

Then in the rd of 12 he was eliminated by Hero 3-1.

So what is so damned impressive about that? That's top 2 in the world? That is the last significant tournament he played in!

So classic should be 2nd then? Or first? Hero won that tournament.

I love the article, yet I feel like KeSpa overshadowed Stat's actual accomplishments. Of course people uphold KeSpa with high regard, but I felt like there was more KeSpa hyping then actual Stats hyping.

Overall, I really liked the verbage and opener/ender.

I love LOveRH

Ah yes IEM shanghai beats out an SSL and GSL title and quite a few ro4s etc. Sure. Not to mention for innovation the GSL, GSL vs the world and an SSL.

Look at the last 4 months and keep in mind that GSL vs The World was an invitational tournament. Unless tournament wins don't mean much in your book, the only people who can compare with Rogue are Innovation and Neeb.

I think people overrate trophies when it comes to them. If you just rank everyone based on their finish in the latest tournament then what's the point? Given how rare back-to-back championships are, it's clearly not the right way to go about it
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Yes, IEM Shanghai > SSL.

And GSL+GslvsW > IEM+GSLST > SSL.

You're one funny poster.

Is that a bad joke?
The guy is #1 WCS and just won SSL yet he is ranked below Rogue?

That doesn't make any sense :x.

any sports analyst with basic understandings of ranking skilled players based on overall results would put stats above 3rd place, and more likely to win blizzcon, only TL would be biased or stupid enough or selective enough to make a ranking off of two tournaments.

I mean, we'll just have to see.

Stats is a stable player, no ebb and flow in his game or performance. He is the perfect balance of control and aggression. And he always manages to preform well in big stages.
