two youngest players are in top two?!

It's weird to think of Maru as a young player when he's been around since the very first GSL 8 years ago


It's also weird thinking that I used to get Maru confused with Maka.

Surprised that Rogue is at the 5th spot, he's had a horrendous month and his ZvT looks absolutely woeful.

Also kinda surprised that Innovation eeks out the 10th place spot in this list, for me he's close but no cigar, I'd probably have given that 10th place spot to soO who, outside of the finals (a close 4-3 for Inno), went 23-4 in maps at HSC XVII compared to Innovation's comparatively poor 26-12 map score.

Otherwise, soO had a relatively mediocre month, and there's no really convincing contender for that 10th place, however I'm not sure that Innovation has proven that he deserves it outside of a very shaky tournament win at HSC XVII.

It's kind of odd, because maybe he actually is deserving of the #3 spot. But it still hardly seems fair, lol

Serral only goes up 4 spots because #1 is almost unreachable considering Maru's dominance.
Also he won literally every tournament?
WESG and Katowice didn't happen?

Stats being so low previously was totally unjustified though and it seems TL writers recognized their mistake.

Also I disagree with the notion that Serral is close to topping the list.
I agree with his ranking but he really shouldn't be close to Maru after winning 1 tournament. When Stats won the Super Tournament he wasn't considered close to Maru despite even having reached the GSL finals before


You realize Serral beat Maru? Even if it was only bo1 how can you say hes not close to be over Maru if he literally just beat him?

Is Leenock also close to Maru? Patience?
Was TerrOr Prime close to Byul when he beat him?

Ironically, I bet if Maru had beaten Stats but lost to Serral in a Bo7 in the GSL vs. World finals, Serral would be #1, and not Maru.

By bowing out one round earlier, Maru probably held on to his top position (barely)

Leenock is clearly top 4 in the world. TerrOr would have been as good as Serral if he wasn't stuck on a team of match fixers.

This is probably true. If Maru had played in the final I think Serral would have 4-1 or 4-2. Unless Maru suddenly returned to GSL playoff form.

Then again if his form was good enough to get over Stats, it was probably good enough to get over Serral. But I don't think he was beating either that day.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Had Reynor not met Serral until the finals he would be CBNC contender. I can't wait to see where he gets placed if he advances in ro16.

Had SpeCial been on the other side of the bracket, he probably makes the final and loses to Serral in it as well.

Maybe even Scarlett actually. The Valencia bracket was so top heavy.

Serral is amazing. Now that it's shown a non Korean can make it I hope that the next Top 20 list won't be 19 Koreans and Finland

I don't like it, but I can't really argue with it, Serral keeps winning everything.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

I would agree with this list, except I don't think Serral deserves to be in the top 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, etc.

Come on, if any of those guys would've been on the other side of the bracket Has would've destroyed them.

To be fair Maru looks to be in a much shakier form than he was back then. Almost losing to soO's ZvT isn't really what we expect of him.

Well even gods need to rest


He slumbers like a classic Lovecraftian elder god.

I agree with the list, except I would put Dark over Stats. Stats might be a tad hotter now, but lacks consistency over time.

Like when Dark went 0-4 in the ro16? Stats is more consistent than Dark is

I agree with you, top 2 is much more accurate.
