I hope a Terran wins, but looking at recent form I doubt that will happen. Tbh I agree with classic being most likely candidate to win.
There is no shame in defeat so long as the spirit is unconquered. | Cheering for Maru, Innovation and MMA!

Can't wait for the slaughter.

Reaching the GSL playoffs is apparently enough for Scarlett to get #7 but Maru who did the same in a harder group is somehow not even in the list??
Gumiho, Dear, Rogue, Trap and Impact should all be above Serral.
and btw Maru recent results are little bit worse compared to Scarlett


By what measure? Maru's GSL performance was better (both reached ro8 yes but Scarlett had an easier group), and results in the IEM/WeSG qualifiers were a lot better than Scarlett's.


it wasn`t better in both stages Maru has not been even able to won his own group with always ranked second, plus that lose match against Keen didn`t spotted him in better light too. yes he did better performance at IEM quali but Scarlett had won IEM event not just simple quali, so at the end the consequence is that she defeated simply more formiddable opponents than Maru by recent time


Maru got second in the group to Classic, who is probably the best player in the world right now. While Scarlett had the easiest group in the ro16. In terms of IEM/WeSG events it's not even questinable that Maru has done better than Scarlett. The fact she won IEM doesn't mean much when you remember she qualified from NA and only beat one korean in the actual event.

Simply put, beating Solar/Dark/Dear/Gumiho in long macro games/series is more impressive than beating sOs and Inno with quick cheese. (How you choose to win doesn't really matter, but one method is more reliable than the other).


for me beating Rogue/soO/Elazer/Serral/sOs/Zest/Innovation in a row in two big tournaments, won IEM and ro16 GSL group is certainly much more impressive than beat Solar/Dark/Dear/Gumiho and achieve nothing


Winning IEM and a GSL group sound incredible on paper until you realise that the only seriously impressive wins she's had were against Innovation and sOs. I don't really know what to say if you think beating sOs and Inno by cheesing every game shows more skill than winning mutliple series against players like Dark, Gumiho, Dear, or Solar that involved both cheese and macro/lategame play

Not to say what Scarlett has done isn't impressive, it really is. But to rank her above Gumiho, Dear, or Maru right now isn't right. Unless you're ranking them based of hype and not how likely they are to do well in the tournament


Wouldn`t you trying to say that Maru in the last few months was more succesfull and intimidating player than Scarlett just because he beats strong players in macro games while Scarlett sometimes used cheeses? You ruin the determinition of logical conclusion by that statement then


Winning in both macro and cheesy games against elite players (Dark, Dear, Gumiho etc) is more impressive than beating a couple (Inno, sOs) exclusively with cheese. It's not that Scarlett "sometimes uses cheese", she's relient on it. She lost the macro games to Dear, aLive, and Maru for example.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Scarlett beat INnoVation and Zest in the round of 16. Maru beat Dear and Gumiho. I think most would consider the former to be harder to accomplish, so I think she deserves at least #7 on the list given that. I agree about Serral though. Him making the list is pretty generous.

I wasn't expecting classic to be #1, my vote would have been to sos but I didn't realize how classic had been playing lately. I'm excited to watch iem!

Surprising to see so many players in the offline qualifiers on the list. Only 4/12 of the ro24 players make an appearance. Bold move writers, let's see if it pays off.

Why Demuslim not going?

Visa problems, he is going to a different event (WCS final I guess or so) and he doesn't have the time to get the VISA for katowice.. or smth like that, anyhow I don`t get why he need a VISA to Poland. (this is what I heard from his stream, maybe there is more to that)

I disagree that he's a patchzerg, but there's no argument to be made for him to be in this ranking. He's done nothing to justify it recently. And recent form is what matters most here.

We should have a community powerrank powerrank.
Rank the power ranks by their predictive power.
This one's not ranking too well so far, even if I found it quite reasonable on first read

A lot of the pros read the PRs and purposefully play better or worse just to spite us.

If he lives in the UK I'd have thought he's free to travel anywhere in Europe?

It's not much competition if it doesn't have Classic

There's also no argument to be made for Serral making it into this ranking and yet he's there
