It's obvious now that Serral is the best foreigner in the world, and by a wide margin at that.


I just had to post a comment after this line. I don't disagree with neeb and serral's ranking in this, but I definitely disagree with this line. Neeb's form in the hangzhou tournament was *pheonomenal*, and if he continues to play at that level - then between him and serral I would pick him every time.

Thank god u dont write PRs lol

I think this was one of the more ballanced rankings I've seen on the whole. Like the addition of players who-almost-but-didn't-quite-make-it.

soO's position at number 5 surprised me a bit, but when I think about it he hasn't played much over the past month (though the few games he did play didn't look brilliant), so it makes sense that his position hasn't changed. It does make his rank a lot more uncertain compared to say GuMiho who's been playing in a ton of online events.

soO improved 1 spot compared to previous month actually, which is pretty funky when you think about what we actually saw from him. Also funny is TY going from "#8 because he's TY so even if he doesn't really have results he should be good" to "outside of top 14 even though he actually has good results this month".

I'm glad Trap gets approval though.


The reason why soO went up a rank probably has less to do with soO and more to do with the writer team being back to calling Rogue a patchzerg.


Let it be known I was the only writer who "called" Rogue a patchzerg. Don't drag those guys through the mud on account of me.


WOW fancy avatar you have there!

Is the remark about Maru being the "only player to win OSL, SSL and GSL" serious? I mean I have nothing about making it a meme, but the sarcasm should be more obvious, at least in the early days.

Yeah, it's a bit too weird.

I know the Rogue bias can sometimes lead to disappointments, but I would still place him higher than 7th spot.

Amazing list though!

Could it be fun to have a monthly "comunity poll power rank"? Like alongside the TL one, just to see where peoples bias differentiates to the, maybe more empirical, team TL opinions :-) Maybe slam it through reddit aswell.

Darks position is crushingly fair but SoO? That loss to Maru might have been one of the most dispiriting I've seen and in general he seems to really have dropped back this year. Wouldn't favour him over any of Gumiho, Rogue or Trap currently but I'd love to be proven wrong.

Love your work, guys! But I believe sOs had some not-so-great games in his GSL group, while Neeb just dominated in the Hangzhou tournament. Otherwise, the rest are spot on! But should've switched sOs with Neeb though

Cheers!
