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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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