You realise Serral is a Finn right? How could he not be on this list?

Really fun read

Good luck competing in drinking alcohol with polish,russian,ukrainian people. In our encyclopedia there is sentence "deadly level of alcohol in blood is 3,6 promile, except poles and russians". This rank is bs :-)

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.


Never applied.

I had a specific objective in mind - to help with BlizzCon rankings - but it became clear that the red tape involved meant it would not be achievable in the timeframes unfortunately.

Further while I respect the writers team and consider them all some of my closest friends, I know that we have some differences in style and recognise that it could strain our relationship to work together as well.

Not everything that plays with stereotypes is racist.


Thank you, I was gonna reply the same thing until I noticed your comment.

OT: the soO ranking is hilarious and so are the bits on Stephano and Taeja lol

LOL, I remember Flash's interview, where he said, that nobody from the players could beat in him in soju drinking, that he could drink unlimited amounts of it.

TL isn't the solution to bad power rank, TL is the problem with bad power rank!

TL has the right to manage and operate its Power Rank processes as it sees fit. My personal belief however is that in order to achieve legitimacy it needs to hold a certain level of rigor in its processes.

Currently the TL system is quite subjective, is frequently used for memeing, and does not have clear goal posts for how it is measured (seems one month it's based on recent results and the next it's based on past results, for instance).

Aligulac and Blizzard ladder use a much more objective measure but they effectively weight all matches equally, which can be a bad thing. I am the first to say that a GSL match should be weighted above a HomeStory or online match for instance.

Given the gaps in both of these it seems kind of sad for players who work tirelessly to build their reputation and practice daily to be the best, but we can't find an agreeable / accepted way to define what success looks like.

Anywho that's my 2 cents I still love y'all, hugs.

Koreans drink the same amount as the Finns. If we look at it that way, Serral is only equal with every Korean player!

I feel like I can't tarnish the name much more than he already has himself.

But Life should be #1.

He won (Wiki)IEM Season IX - Taipei on the final day while being completely drunk. Crushes PartinG then goes and passes out in the pracc area, I wake him up and then he goes and 4-3's Maru in an epic series.

Never seen anything like it.

Maybe only 4-5 people at the time were aware within the ESL/commentator team. If you go back and watch Life during his post-match interview after the PartinG game it's pretty obvious.
