Power Rank: BlizzCon

by TeamLiquid.net writers

After a weekend of StarCraft II action at the WCS Global Finals, eight players are going to BlizzCon. Our criteria this time are simple. We rank the eight players in the quarterfinals by their performance in the group stage.




#8

[image loading]
sOs

2nd place in Group B
We all had our doubts—and memes—about sOs going into this tournament, how his terrible year and last minute qualification were the omen for another miraculous championship run on the one side, and how this all primed him for an early exit on the other side. The greatest doubts may not have come true—after all, sOs advanced to his third top 8 appearance at BlizzCon—but they are far from having been swept away. The Jin Air Protoss may have survived the group stage, but he came close to disaster multiple times: Serral dismantled him like some random amateur, and HeRoMaRinE had him on the ropes several times, failing to finish the job and letting sOs snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in some of the worst games the WCS Global Finals have ever witnessed. The pattern seemed to hold in his PvP series against Zest, whose lack of good judgement on the last map probably contributed more to sOs’ advancement than any kind of great performance on the Jin Air player’s part.

So far, sOs has been the weakest player left in the field, winning more through his reputation than his abilities. Can the playoffs finally bring out the miracle man, who's never lost at BlizzCon? Our doubts certainly remain.


#7

SpeCial

2nd place in Group D
Group D was perhaps considered the hardest for the two foreigners to survive in. Classic and Rogue were both considered tournament contenders prior to the event, and Rogue did win the group but SpeCial made him work for it. His hellions diving in secured a massive lead in their opening game that a simple tank push converted into a victory. The second game was over quickly due to a zergling runby, but SpeCial again put up a strong fight on the third map, constantly harassing Rogue with drops, but ultimately falling to Rogue's relentless swarm host pressure.

Coming into Day 3, SpeCial was considered the favorite against Nerchio, but a huge underdog against Classic's expert PvT. SpeCial exceeded expectations by overcoming Nerchio as expected, but also putting together a highly impressive win over Classic, featuring easily the best game of the tournament so far on Acid Plant. SpeCial won out through intelligent decision-making, coupled with intelligently timed and well executed harassment, but it was ultimately his ability to crack Classic's armies that took the wins for him.

It's hard to say whether SpeCial can keep up this level of play, but to get past Stats in the quarterfinals he will have to deliver the same level, perhaps even more.


#6

[image loading]
TY

2nd place in Group A
So far, TY played the most games of any player in this tournament, which already speaks volumes: his series were scrappy, too close for comfort, and overall simply unimpressive. Neeb had his number in their first match, gaining clear victories to send TY to the loser’s match. There, TY again failed to build up momentum against an equally struggling Lambo, dropping another map quite clearly before regaining balance and finishing the series. His deciding rematch against Neeb featured the scrappiest games of the group, as TY opted for similar strategies Maru had used to secure his own victory over the American Protoss player. Proxies were set up on both maps, but as Neeb didn’t straight-up die to the aggression and comported himself valiantly in both defence and counter-attacks, the games dragged on before TY could claim victory.

While TY’s great control, tactical prowess and adaptability did show through during some of his games, this group stage wasn’t exactly a great inducer of confidence for the remainder of the tournament, even though the longer Best of 5s and Best of 7s should suit him better. Far more dangerous Zerg players than Lambo are waiting for him in the playoffs. What we’ve seen so far won’t be enough to overcome them, so TY will have to step up his game for the coming matches.


#5

Dark

2nd place in Group C
Dark cannot be satisfied with 2018, and his performance at the Global Finals so far has again left some questions unanswered. While most spectators expected Dark to meet Stats in the winners' match, the Protoss was allowed an arguably easier road to BlizzCon as Dark banged his head into the wall that was ShoWTimE on Day 1 and lost 0-2. The German brushed off all of Dark's aggression—a proxy hatchery on Fracture and committed hydra/baneling attack on Acid Plant.

It took a Day 3 rescue mission for Dark to secure his place in the quarterfinals, and even that began with a very wonky set against Has, the second game of which could and very much should have gone in favor of the Taiwanese Protoss. ShoWTimE then fell victim to the rematch curse, and we finally saw more inspired play by Dark.

At the end of the day, Dark will need to step up if he is to advance any further. Serral already eliminated him from GSL vs The World with a ZvZ masterclass and unless Dark can come up with more than he has so far, a similar fate is very likely.


#4

Rogue

Winner of Group D
Rogue may be the defending WCS World Champion, but after a fallow summer and fall, he entered this year’s edition of the WCS Global Finals as anything but the most ballyhooed player. Back to back Code S quarterfinal exits combined with first round losses in GSL vs. the World and the second Super Tournament, had turned even the most devout fans into doubters, but Rogue showed much improved form in the second day of opening weekend. While he looked a tad shaky against SpeCial, which in retrospect is far from damning given SpeCial’s performances from then on forward, he completely dominated Classic in the winner’s match. His tried and true nydus worm to open the series was a predictable gambit that paid off as Classic was unable to hold the precise timing for the umpteenth time. Classic shook things up in game two, though Rogue was completely unfazed. Classic’s peculiar disruptor into colossi build was met with a far more pedestrian roach/hydra force that booked Rogue a spot in the quarterfinals.

Rogue may have entered last year’s WCS Global Finals as the hottest player in the world, but it’s important to remember he reached the Round of 4 in 2015 despite playing the role of underdog. No matter the circumstances Rogue has always performed well at BlizzCon, but it appears he’ll have a difficult time of things in the Round of 8. Rogue is 1-4 against TY since defeating him at BlizzCon last year, but hope remains for Rogue and his supporters, for that lone victory took place at IEM Katowice, their only offline meeting during the last year. The moral of the story is that Rogue knows when to step up and there’s no reason to think he can’t keep this uptick of form going in the Round of 8.

Stats

Winner of Group C
With all eyes on Maru and Serral, it might have been easy to overlook Stats. After all, he came off a rather disappointing year considering the standard he set in 2017. But so far the ex-KT Protoss has not missed a beat, swathing Has and ShoWTimE aside with ease. Perhaps more important than the result itself was the manner in which Stats advanced from his group. He never looked like conceding a map as he warded off any and all of Has' attempts to hurt him in familiarly composed fashion before simply outdoing ShoWTimE in two macro games. Essentially, Stats showed what we have come to expect from him and that is a good sign from someone who, throughout the year, has sometimes failed to do just that.

With Classic down and sOs not looking the part yet, every Protoss fan will be looking at Stats to carry the torch for them at BlizzCon. And his performance so far certainly warrants optimism. Stats will not be unhappy with the bracket he was drawn into, either. SpeCial is a doable opponent, sOs certainly hasn't looked convincing, and Stats already defeated Maru in a Bo5 at GSL vs The World. He will need similar form to make his way through the bracket, but early signs look very positive.


#2

[image loading]
Serral

Winner of Group B
There’s no doubt that Serral entered the WCS Global Finals as the most hyped foreigner in the tournament’s history, but after opening weekend it’s fair to say he’s delivered validating the clamor. All eyes were on Serral as he faced off against recent Super Tournament, and two time BlizzCon champion sOs, with half the community cheering him on and the other half praying for his demise. The series started off with a bang as Serral easily thwarted a cannon rush on Lost and Found. Game two was more of the same. The Finnish Zerg swatting away a strange allin that took ages to develop. Serral looked shakier in the early game against Zest, but crisp decision making allowed him to seize control of both games, and ultimately a spot in the quarterfinals.

And so Serral finds himself in the Round of 8 of the most prestigious tournament of the year. On paper Dark is a stern opponent, but Serral’s made a living off the mirror matchup this year. He’s posted a 26-3 record in the offline ZvZ’s since the beginning of 2018, including a 3-1 win over Dark in GSL vs. the World just a few months ago. If history is any indication Serral’s tournament won’t be coming to an end any time soon.

What’s perhaps most important is that thanks to some good ol’ RNG the Maru versus Serral dream final remains a possibility. We’ll have to wait a week to see if the dream becomes reality, but with the way Serral is playing it looks like he’ll have no problem holding up his end of the bargain.

Maru

Winner of Group A
Group A was considered the hardest group by most, but Maru made a mockery of it by advancing with two quick 2-0 wins over Lambo and Neeb that never looked particularly close.

He hit Lambo with two uncomfortable timing attacks, one a bio/tank push that destroyed the Zerg's fourth base, the other a similar attack on his third, this time supported by a raven. Neeb fell victim to Maru's trademark early aggression twice, the first game won with a cyclone/widow mine push, the other essentially decided by a marauder/cyclone proxy. The scariest aspect of Maru's victories was that he never had to resort to his excellent mid- or even lategame play. Every game he entered was decided simply by his razor sharp execution of timing attacks. So we have seen only glimpses of Maru's full spectrum of abilities, and that must certainly be a damning sign for anyone unlucky enough to face him. Their focus must be on surviving long enough to play to their own strengths, but Maru still has his own to fall back on.

Overall, Maru has given us no reason at all to change his position from previous Power Ranks. He went into BlizzCon the favorite to win it and he will enter the quarterfinals just the same.

Looking only at the group stage I would place Special above TY, i just think TY´s play was very scrappy and he "only" played against foreigners. But aside from that I´m fine with the ranking. Go go Serral!

Hard to argue with this ranking. Maybe I'd put sOs over Major and Serral over Maru but that's it.

Given the criteria pretty impossible to argue, but I also agree with the above that if you're just looking at group stage Ty going 2-1 Lambo and 3-2 Neeb in scrappy games is way less impressive than Special 1-2 Rogue and 2-0 Classic.

I actually agree with this post completely. After the second day, Dark would have definitely been ranked lower than this judging by his performance against ShowTime and against Has even.

But the revenge bo3 against the ShowTime really showed that the first series was dedicated to more memes (don't get me wrong, ShowTime played amazing too) but he really swatted the German Protoss in 2 decisive macro games.

Also, sOs is still gonna win >

sOs really looked shit so far but somehow I wouldn't be surprised if he wins the whole thing. He can make the finals for sure.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Whatever happens, it's another great run for Special. I really hope he at least survives one more round. His style is very entertaining and his work ethic almost unparalleled.

Maru vs. Serral in the finals would ofc be a dream come true.
If it happens, I predict >150k viewers.

Honestly it wouldn't suprise me if it were higher. Hype really brings people in.

It probably won't happen anyway. One of them will be upset. Although Serral losing to Dark/Rogue/TY isn't really an upset.

Viewer count will mostly depend of is SC get a host from HOTS/HS/WOW/OW (We need to address the glaring lack of variety in Blizzard acronym choice), but yes Maru-Serral would probably be the best final viewership wise.

Don't most of those have events running at the same time as WCS? The HotS, WoW, and OW finals are on at the same time as the WCS final I think.

So it's official: Lambo + Neeb > sOs + Zest.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I'd put Special above TY and Dark if we're basing it off of group performance. He took a game from Rogue and legit 2-0'd Classic (who's pretty good in PvT) without any BS.

Also, sOs is playing everybody. He's going to ascend to god mode in the playoffs. It's coming...

Depend on how long they run, sometime one finish before the other so they host the other stream. I seem to remember last year the OW grand final was the last one to finish and they got a host from every one else.

based on performance, Special should be 5th, otherwise good ranking.

The sceduling isn't that great either. OW final should end first, but OW matches usually take longer than blizzard think. And sc2 matches are (nowadays) over in half the time.

This ranking's fine, but it does a pretty poor job of adhering to the criterion of measuring "their performance in the group stage".

Maru, Serral and Stats all looked pretty flawless, but just due to their opponents Serral should be first for example. And Special should be higher if you were just judging by group stage performance.

Yeah, if that was the only criterion SpeCial should be 5th as the best 2nd place finisher.

I think that line doesn't belong. They even say in Maru's blurb:

Overall, Maru has given us no reason at all to change his position from previous Power Ranks. He went into BlizzCon the favorite to win it and he will enter the quarterfinals just the same.


That indicates prior rankings were taken into account.

For the record, I agree but my superior opinion was drowned out by the collective.


The collective are fools, your superior opinion is correct.

Special 100% deserves to be ranked higher than TY.

Well, it finally happened.

I offered my services to improve this Power Rank multiple times to the writing team but was regrettably turned down. I knew that didn't bode well for them, but even I couldn't have predicted the shambles that is this Power Rank.

The team appears to have spent too long on their preview articles to properly undertake the full 16-man Power Rank prior to the event. Although I know that the Power Ranks are now timed on a monthly basis, this specific one is clearly about BlizzCon as only BlizzCon attendees have been included.

So we arrive at an 8-man Power Rank situation. The article clearly states that the rank is based on group performance.

This is of course an awkward way to rank because the 'best players' may not have had the hardest route, and had I been consulted professionally I would have advised against this method.

Nevertheless, going solely by group performance does make the ranking a straightforward and easy process. The players most dominant over the best opponents should clearly be ranked the highest.

Unfortunately, without my guidance this also seems to have gone awry.

Regardless of whether you agree that Serral is no.1 overall anyway, his 4-0 of sHy and Zest has to be more impressive than Maru's wins over Lambo and Neeb. This is near irrefutable, and given the criteria, clearly Serral should be rank 1.

In a similar vein, Major's stellar play to overcome Classic and barely lose to Rogue has to be superior to TY (barely overcame Neeb after losing the first set and dropped a map to Lambo) as well as Dark.

The correct Power Rank based on the given criteria is thus:

8. sHy
7. TY
6. Dark
5. Major
4. Rogue
3. Stats
2. Maru
1. Serral

Were the Power Rank to have occurred with my professional input in the correct pre-BlizzCon manner, it would have appeared thus:

16. Has
15. HeroMarine
14. Nerchio
13. Lambo
12. ShowTime
11. Major
10. Zest
9. Neeb
8. Rogue
7. sHy
6. Dark
5. TY
4. Stats
3. Classic
1. Maru (joint)
1. Serral (joint)

There we have it, finally proof that are you are indeed living in another plane of reality. I won't judge your serral comments anymore from now on, maybe in your dimension he actually is the obvious best player.
Anyway, in my own reality special only played classic once (which could still give him the edge over TY though tbf)
We should check if there are any more differences in results though, if you are interested in that procedure just pm me.

dave4 is like a mirror image reverse rodya troll

serral can move to #1 after he wins blizzcon

then next year they can remove region locks so he can prove it at every single tournament, which naniwa and stephano did despite not being protected by region locks

I am surprised people still not realize group performance means nothing in Blizzcon play-off

Remember? when ByuN lost 0-2 to ShoWTimE in 2016 and Rogue lost 1-2 to Neeb in 2017 group stages? Guess what, they were the champions, and although ShoWTimE managed to win 4-0 against 2 Koreans in group stage, he still lost 1-3 to Elazer in ro8 right away. Dark in interview said he was sick in day 1, and a lot of pros had bad conditions too. So, I believe the performances would be totally different since Blizzcon is 1 week after the group stages.

i am almost certain you are a rodya alt, so you could spew the exact same hyperbole in the opposite direction, just so that you can then log in as rodya and rant against it.

until they remove region lock, special and neeb are the true badasses who have gone toe to toe in korea with the best day in and day out and advanced far in the gsl, with reynor getting special mention.

This power rank may be talking mostly about the group stage performances but it is nowhere said that the power rank is based solely on them. This would be a dumb thing to do because you can't read very much out of 2 or 3 matches of a player. Thus it's perfectly fine that Maru is still considered first.

Special's performance surely was impressive but his wins aren't so much more prestigeous than TY's. Neeb and Rogue are on par at least but given Rogue's recent performances (including getting beaten by Neeb in GSL) I would give Neeb an edge. Classic also was quite volatile the entire year which he showed again vs Rogue. Nerchio and Lambo are of comparable calibre. So in the end I don't think that Special's run was more impressive. His games obviously looked cooler but I wouldn't take that into account too much.
Furthermore, I consider that some kind of Code A must be reestablished.

Ironically, if it was anyone besides Maru, I would discount sOs's chances. But the last time the two of them played, sOs made Maru look like a monkey.

Serral is looking terrifying, but then Dark wanted Serral.

And Stats is the one player that won't change his play very much against the strange Mexican stylings of Special.

The bracket turned out to be the most chaotic possible bracket. I'm seriously hyped to see how this all plays out.
I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

I'm sorry what? Rogue literally can't be placed over Stats due to the way this power ranking was structured. Stats went 4-0 against foreigners and Rogue went 4-1 against foreigners. Just because you "believe" he will win it again does not mean that he should be put above Stats.

I think Stats will knock out sOs in ro4. I feel like whenever someone looks like they will have a run of destiny, Stats often eliminates them before the finals.

The RNG had nothing to do with Serral and Maru being placed on different sides of the bracket; they were seeded. Watch the video, for Pete's sake.

What’s perhaps most important is that thanks to some good ol’ RNG the Maru versus Serral dream final remains a possibility.


Well played!

Also, special deserves to be higher. TY and mb even Dark looked pretty bad, whereas juan showcased some very special games!

Two players, each dominating his region. The bracket allows for this finals. Hopefully it happens.

I'd still say it's a bit better considering Showtime's form, but yeah okay.

But Serral's was definitely more impressive than Maru's.

I think Maru vs SoS is 51-49%.. and SoS defeated Maru last time they meet.
Also special has a good shot agains Stats, even if stats is clearly the favorite.
Serral vs Dark is so close to 50-50. Saying that Serral beat Dark 3-1 and that he has 23-3 in ZvZ this year means nothing (even if eu zergs are "best" zergs). The serries will be really close and I think Serral will win, but in a really close 3-2 series.
Rogue vs Ty is also an awesome draw. TvZ of the best of the best is always a great thing for us viewer. I would still give an edge here to TY, even if he looked scrappy, Rogue is far from what he was 9-10 months ago. Really, he has no results in the last 6 month, Artosis is the only one hyping him, but he showed nothing impressive.

That said I`m really happy with the drawings and I thing that really.. everybody can advance.

I think everybody can see how the ranking is just a continuation of the previous ones with the the usual TL Staff favourites at the top

Otherwise, Stats would top it, as he was most impressive in the group stage. Or, at least more impressive than Maru.

He beat Has and ShoWTimE, how is that more impressive than Lambo and Neeb?


I'd still say it's a bit better considering Showtime's form, but yeah okay.

But Serral's was definitely more impressive than Maru's.

sOs played really badly and Zest has bad PvZ so not really, arguable.

Not arguable...

Perfect. Anyone with this kind of biased and rude thread should be punished for clean community.

Btw, I am really looking forward to see what result gonna be :D

I predict sOs or Rogue taking the trophy.

SERRRRRAL! Going for that gold, you can do it! One more championship, and you'll steal the crown from Maru and be the GOAT!

Eight years of StarCraft 2, and I'm as pumped now as I was when JD almost won the world finals.

Serral, believe in yourself and you'll be invincible! Show Maru why you're the best!

I would approach the whole "how good is Serral really" /power rank discussion another way:

People that COULD be better than Serral:

- Maru
- TY
- Stats (arguable)
- Rogue (arguable)

People that are NOT better than Serral:
- Every Non-Korean
- Every Korean not at Blizzcon
- SoS
- Zest
- Dark (arguable)
- Classic

That would make Serral at least top 5, if not top 3 in the world

Now Maru's list is easier:

People that COULD be better than Maru:

- Serral (arguable)

People that are NOT better than Maru:

- Everyone else

Discuss!

EDIT: To clarify: This is meant now, not 5 years from now or 5 years ago

sOs also beat Maru, I really don't understand why nobody but Serral is mentioned for players that could beat Maru.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Even though he didn't make blizzcon, I would include soo in the list of people that could be better than serral, and stats 100% could be better than maru.

The thing is (and this isn't necessarily a problem) we are so damn focused on Results/tournaments won and not straight skill at the game, which to be fair is hard to accurately measure. When Serral beat stats in GSL vs World, yes he came out on top, but it was a FANTASTICALLY close series, that could have gone either way. When Maru beat TY in GSL S3 championship, he was literally 2 units away from losing the last game, which would have crowned TY the victor in the decider match. We do our best to account for volatility by having games be larger sample size of Bo7, but the truth is the three (by most peoples standards) best players in the world with each race are Maru, Stats, and Serral respectively, and more likely than not, if each of them played a best of 99 with each other in each matchup, we would probably have maybe a 5-10 point difference in the end. They are just so close in skill to each other its hard to say one of them is definitively better than the other one just by a Bo7. Any of them could take multiple games in a row off of each other in a Bo X series, when in reality it would probably end up evened up towards the end of a larger sample size.
Quick, think of some pithy cliche and toss it here

depends how you mean it. Head to head - I would rate soO higher than Serral even now in his slumpy year. Generally - soO has fallen way too low in his non ZvZ MU. But maybe I'm a fanboy

Because h2h matches alone don't decide who's better. The guy was talking about who's better, not who could beat who. Maru has had better results than Stats by a big margin. He has better results than sOs by a massive margin.

The gap between Stats and Serral (in terms of results) isn't clear. They've both won a single tournament (with koreans) and made a couple top 4s in others.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

The logic behind is, that anyone could beat anyone at a given time under special circumstances. That is, why I wrote BETTER and not BEAT. I mean Neeb did beat TY and Showtime did beat Dark, but I highly doubt they are the better players, if you catch my drift

Could possibly add soO but his "recent" results are more than dissapointing. We all know how fast the SC2 world spins and how champions of yesterday don't even make the qualifiers of tomorrow. That's why I left him out and why I edited my original post with the clarification

It is really surprising to me that this isn't just common sense honestly, people get so offended over these statements :D
Actual haters on both sides ofc, but not everyone who doesn't just accept serral as the absolute best, unbeatable force takes a lot of flak as well.

What’s perhaps most important is that thanks to some good ol’ RNG the Maru versus Serral dream final remains a possibility.


I'm pretty sure they said that they were seeded at the opposite side of the bracket.

Other than that, while I agree that sOs looked the shakiest out of all of the top 8s, I don't think Special deserves rank 7. The way he was moving his units looked highly alert and precise. If he goes in confident I think he can dismantle Stats who looked like he was going through the motions.

Wait, are we talking about who is better right now at BlizzCon or who is better over the whole year.

So yeah, over the year I think Maru and Serral are in their own league. But if we look at now and the players who are left at BlizzCon I think Serral could fall to Maru, TY and Stats and Maru could fall to sOs, Stats and TY, Rogue and Serral.

Maru has shown to be comparatively weaker at weekend tournaments than in GSL.

Not necessarily Maru's fault. I feel like Zerg is the best race for weekend tournaments, Terran the best for drawn out leagues.

We'll know afterwards I guess, but I am still rooting for a pure Splyce TY vs Stats final anway .

TY beating Serral and Stats beating Maru is not that unrealistic imo and would be the dream!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Why would Rogue be above Maru? He advanced 1 round further than him while having very poor results the months before? Serral - Stats - Maru - sOs. sOs made ro4 like Rogue and got to the finals in the super tournament.
