(Wiki)INnoVation: INnoVation did what he was expected to do at HomeStory Cup. Good for him! We're still waiting for him to look like his old self in the GSL. (Wiki)soO: Same as above. Savage :D | ||

Yeah seems overly harsh I think inovation deserves at least a # 10 on this list. | ||

I think of you look at any other top player they have clear strengths and weeknesses in thee aproach to the game, but Maru he just looks like he has no weekneses. Even when he came is significantly behind in a game he can turn it around with just a few good decisions. Like his failed proxy rax in hos match vs forte. That's the real mind boggling thing about his play even when in situations other Terran players would flat out lose from Maru manges to be ahead of his opponent due to his phenomenal decision making, micro and macro. The guy has no clear flaws. Maru is 3-4 tiers above Forte. He loses from that position against almost every other Terran player in the GSL. | ||

(no more PR's until TaeJa is out of the military and back in the top ten) One at the start of each major tournament could work. Although personally I think every month is nice even if a lot of these guys might go a month without playing a match. | ||

Maru or Classic might play 10 games in a month, whereas GuMiho or Solar might play over a hundred. | ||

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 How do you rank the guy who loses the bo5 and goes out in the quarter finals higher than the guy who wins back to back titles? | ||

Obviously Serral should not be on this list, but it's fine. Let the Serral fanboys continue to hype him while he runs away from real competition. The WCS Finals get closer every day, and when Serral gets 3-0'd by Rogue I think that will put this nonsense to rest. | ||

It was one of those rare series where the person who looked stronger in my eyes lost. Maru would still be #2; they're both absolute monsters. You could argue Maru and Rogue are similar head-to-head, but in terms of results Maru is the clear favourate. He has 3 titles (gsl, gsl, wesg) and a top 4 finish (iem) this year. Rogue has one title and that's it for top finishes. | ||

If a player reach the a final without losing a single match but then fails to get the title but another player just barely reach the final and get the title, who is stronger? I'm not saying this is the case with maru and rogue, I'm just asking a, personally, rethorical question. | ||

I don't think anyone actually hates Serral, but it does seem a bit (very) far fetched to put him as the #6 best player in the world. Especially because he's managing to climb the ranks without playing any relevent matches. Do people honestly put him above Dark, Stats, soO, INno, or Gumiho to win a global tournament right now? | ||
