a Power Rank isn't about who performed the best over the last 12 months though. It's about who seems to be the best right now

Based on your own criteria and past tendencies in picking, placing the dude who happened to win the most recent tournament over Serral seems like nonsense. Regardless if it's actually the case or not, It makes it feel like you're prioritizing being provocative. And well.... I'm not going to tell you how to write your own thingermajig- it's yours. But my personal feedback is that I no longer feel like I can relate to the methodology in these rankings. I'm not mad. I'm just not interested anymore.

The first PR is always much more heavily about recent results than about consistency.
That's because, well, I don't know, we don't have the data for anything else? I mean, let's check it, what have ANYONE done this year? We have IEM and that's it.
All the salt is beautiful though

But if we ignore everything and we set a blank start from this year then the PR should be exactly what WCS winter, GSL ro32 and IEM reflect and nothing else. And dont think that was the case.

The discussion becomes circular.
The PR valued IEM the most but also stressed consistency more than usual. Therefore Maru and Serral got ranked higher than their results in IEM alone would have indicated.

According to my criteria there's nowhere near enough evidence in 2019 to put Serral at #1.

Even right now Zest, Dark, Rogue, TY, Maru and Serral are doing way better than Soo. Soo's performance at EIM was hardly convincing. He just barely got out of his group and just barely beat Serral. His 0-4 loss vs Rogue pretty much prove this... Just read the opening paragraphs on this Power Rank post, it seems pretty obvious that they were having fun trolling Serral fanboys

Yeah, not convincing at all. He just beat the Blizzcon champion and Stats, probably the most consistent Korean player of the last year. But suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure, soO wasn't convincing at all.

Soo fanboys are worse than Serral fanboys imo. He has one good day after barely getting out of his group with a losing match score... and now he's #1 in the world??? LMFAO That's like saying Effort is better than Flash after one good day... Never mind that Effort can't beat Flash in a show-match to save his life...

The issue is soO won and it wasn't some BO won, he won in straight fair games against the best Zerg and the best Protoss. No bullshit included. I find that pretty convincing. And I am more of Terran fanboy myself

 INnoVation should be no.1 or at least higher than  Serral for the next list of ranking.
He defeated Serral twice. No other argument should be made against this.
And, he managed to retain his unofficial World Champion title.
But, after all we will have to wait the Code S results this week. Hopefully there will be much more entertaining engagements between him and the Protoss players. .

I have a suggestion for you.
+ Show Spoiler +Next time you should consider checking your damn facts before you fuking talk stupid shit about two players who have absolutely nothing to do with soO and Serral, let alone an entirely different game.
Effort 3-2'd Flash in the finals of ASL Season 6. Before you go saying things like the finals was the only good day Effort had, just don't. Effort played brilliantly throughout the whole tournament.

INno wasn't even on the powerank (which was justified), yet he delivered.

TL writers no clue again. Guy is better than Serral and Maru which anyone who understands the game knew beforehand but TL writers live in their own world where he's not top 10.
/s

The powerrank should just be a screenshot of the top 10 on Aligulac.
Everything else is purely subjective.
|
This list's main flaw is his awful timing. What if Inno drops out of his GSL group? We should wait for more results in 2019 before we can proclaim anyone the best, Serral had to be given the benefit of doubt and I'm still convinced he may still be the most well rounded player at the moment.

yeah let's not do this thing where we go to the latest PR and shit on it after the latest tournament. these are opinion pieces that are time-sensitive so take with large doses of salt you salty bois

I hate it when idiots say PR writers have bad write-ups.
They're not smart enough to realize that the writers are just human AND SO THEY CANNOT PREDICT THE FUKING FUTURE.
Seriously, just fuck off you haters.
I want to be blunt and nice with my words, I really do, but you guys don't deserve it. These writers put so much time and effort into these write-ups and instead of any gratitude, or respect for their opinion, you take these comments and shove it up their faces.
For the 1000th time, they are doing a PR based on PAST tournament results, NOT FOR FUTURE TOURNAMENT RESULTS, if you aren't smart enough to realize that, then maybe you need to stop embarrassing yourselves on the internet

haha you really took my post and ran with it :D
even in BW now, a scene where established pros generally had reliable outcomes, we have upsets in every single round.
how can anyone predict mini will beat effort, etc. i don't want to hear these arguments about pvz win ratios. most zergs aren't effort. the same way most terrans aren't flash. at some point you have to throw out all the statistics and admit it is hard to know something. and the writers on this site are willing to provide you content on the supposed top 10 because they love this game so much (AND SO DO YOU) and you just poop on their heads. anyways, i understand people not liking that the rankings seem to mirror the most recent tournament but you are given lots of caveats as to why that is: the plethora or dearth of spon matches for a certain player, for instance.
