Where is Solar?
I can never get excited by Dear's play no matter how much people hype him, he just doesn't have the micro necessary to be the top Protoss.
I think sOs becomes the best Protoss whenever he deems it worthy and that should be about now, he looked pretty good in his group.
ByuN is also not in a slump anymore.
#1 Rogue
#2 Maru
#3 sOs
#4-10 Solar+SoO+herO+Kr Terrans

Ah so he just hasn't deemed it worth his time for over 2 years, I was wondering what was going on with sOs.

Must be pretty easy to lose your power ranking if you have Dear, Trap and Serral on here and not soO and Stats lol. And Zest is easily like 7th, he only beat Dear (who came 2nd in Maru's group - i.e. the easy group) and TY who threw 2 games away with hellion openings and even then only barely (then got 4-0'd as expected).

I also definitely think Solar should be on the list.

Serral is in a weird spot, because yes it's justifiable to put him in the list because he's been winning all of the foreign tournaments, but placing him at 6? Not so sure if I agree with that, although I agree that it is difficult to cement a ranking for a player from an entirely different region. Otherwise, a great list!

Brave to list Serral as high as #6. I would have agreed if he didn't dodge Homestory Cup and performed well there. I hope we can see more games against Koreans sometime soon, as he is (or was? haven't seen him in a while) the best foreigner by far.

How does Serral go up in rank after not playing any relevent matches for a month?

Putting him over Gumiho, Dark, INno, sOs, or soO is to say that, if he was in GSL, he'd have a better chance at winning than those guys. Which I don't think most people would agree with.

Since the raven nerf I don't think anyone has believed that to be impossible. From what I've seen most terrans (including Maru) have been going for exclusively marine aggression instead of playing for the lategame of raven-ghost, the reason being that Zergs are winning that now.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

I like how serral keeps going up every month and every month the writers commentate that at this point he can't go up any further without playing koreans.

Also funny, how Innovation winning HSC against tough korean competition means "he did what we expected, not enough to put him on the list", but serral winning wcs challenger raises him from 7 to 6.

Either he gets an honorable mention or he drops out of GSL and is forever forgotten.

I think Serral should be #2. Except for Maru I see no Korean that is better than Serral.

Well think about it logically. Reynor crushed Classic. Serral is much better than Reynor. Classic is number 3 on the list. Maru is better than Serral. Thus Serral should be in the #2 spot.

Can understand people viewing Serral being a bit too high, after rising a couple of spots recently simply by dominating foreigners, and while looking at the quality of a couple of the players below him.

I know this example is a joke, but people using one game/match/result to rate a player is something that never made sense to me. It's usually foreigners or players considered underdogs, they get rated by their best ever performance even if they do worse 95% of the time.

This is probably the worst TL rank ever. Sorry about the harsh words...but normally I love the TL Power Rank.
