Scarlett was eliminated right before qualifying so her classement isn't that bad, especially since she beat decent players to her way there and lost in a mirror.
Stats on the other hand, losing to souL :x.

Bo3 all the way kinda sucks tho, you should be rewarded by a bo5 if you manage to go to the qualifying rounds.

Well, soo was really disapointing, but in general with these brackets its obvious that some top players will fall early. and between the top players the gap are that close. with the hindsight bias its always easy...


wow... group a is gonna be awesome!

I just wanted to give the community the gsl ro16 results at least. Also i wasn't sure if i would even do one, but seeing the official one motivated me. The real tournament starts in 2 days anyway
But sure the timing isn't perfect

Oh it's cool, but it 100% renders a comparison between it and our PR irrelevant, especially regarding the players who played in open bracket.

I wouldn't say 100% useless tbh, i for example won't change my soO at 4th just because he had a really bad day. Also it's not actually a competition even if some people who tease the writers might create that illusion

I'm not talking negatively on the writers, just find it interesting that these top "favorites" or "heavyweights" are getting eliminated early. Major reason why I've always loved the bigger player pool IEM's (old IPL's & MLG's, etc).

/e Yes, the community will release our PR immediately after the tournament. You'll notice we're never wrong ;-)

StarCraft is a volatile game, these things have happened for years, especially in such stacked weekenders. All we can do is look at how well people have done recently and rank them in order of who we think is the best. We can't tell the future.

Once again, for all that the community criticized this PR, the Community PR is still very similar. Aside from swapping Inno and sOs (3rd and 4th, respectively), the only difference was replacing the foreigners with Maru and Gumiho.

Foreigners being in the PR was the biggest criticism anyhow, and that seems to have played out correspondingly in the community's ranking.

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.


I agree about Serral though. Him making the list is pretty generous.


Just signing in to eat my words. Serral has been very strong.

When this first hit I absolutely agreed that Classic was #1, he's in SCARY form atm. Guess it's easy to say now before the ro4 but his recent results did really justify his rank here. No rose tinted glasses, just straight results.

Please, Maru placed top 8 in 2/3 GSLs and in 2 SSLs.

In the korean WCS rankings he was 10th place, sure didn't go to blizzcon. But 10th best in korea by WCS points means you were pretty much top 10 in the world. If by "relevant" you mean he wasn't top 5 in the world you are right. Language wise not relevant pretty much means not qualifying for GSL, which Maru sure did, went deep too.

He wasn't super relevant at the end of the year when he was eliminated from his GSL group in last place, was functionally eliminated from SSL playoff contention after week 2, and lost in the first round of the GSL Super Tournament.

He was never really a championship contender last year is the problem, never looked good enough.

Apart from WESG right at the start I suppose.

And Rogue is not even in this list. Why? Becouse he has been bad in gsl lately. Its obvious after WCS championship he wanted to have holiday. Well might have been surpirse for many Seems that we have so short memory and only some months ago he won blizzcon and now isnt even in list. LOL

Hey guys question ...

You know how they show the game from Maru's point of view earlier, and or from Rogue's in this last game. Like what they're doing, what they're clicking on.

Is it possible to get replays like that? Or nah. I'd like to watch a full game from Maru's point of view, what he's clicking on and how he's microing and such.
