I honour the writers who decided to call out all of us posters who proclaim the TL bias and complain about power rankings; very well done.

This was well written, and honestly the logic is quite sound from a stereotype perspective .

You wanna fight? No need to beat around the bush!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

He makes an appearance right at the beginning of the article, we aren't such fools as to forget the legend that is Stephano.

Yes, the two got equal points in our ranking


Usually I just break the tie in whatever arbitrary manner ensures Trap gets ninth.

Disappointing to hear this approach confirmed.

Re this Power Rank all I can say is I know it is intended to be humorous but there are a lot of players taking the game seriously, and they deserve to be ranked propperly. Serral still can't get rank 1 even though he won BlizzCon. Kind of sad.


Im glad they they decided not to let you write for TL.
Quick, think of some pithy cliche and toss it here

I can't stand Rail ever since I saw him blatantly stream hacking against Naniwa a few weeks ago.

This list is vaguely racist, but also pretty good. I got so pissed when I saw Stephano wasn't #1, then read the addendum, and now I fully endorse the move.

The feel when the only time you can fit into a tournament power rank is when it's a joke one.

Not everything that plays with stereotypes is racist.

The best article so far. Great work! Except for one thing - Rail doesn't drink at all. In the pre-HSC interview on goodgame.ru he even pointed, what he disrespects alcohol.
He who controls the past commands the future. He who commands the future conquers the past.
