I was fully expecting a surprise entry and see TaeJa as #1 since his reentry to GSL code S. But alas, I can settle for this.

Ranking players isn't a linear A > B system.

Serral is above players he recently lost to (soO, Innovation, and now Stats) as well.

it's a toss up for serral vs soO, inno -- to a lesser degree, vs Stats
but he is decisively better than Dark. it's not close at all.

Yeah his ZvZ is better than Dark's but his ZvT is usually weaker. For ZvP, it's hard to say who is stronger (if I had to, I'd give it to Dark because he was crushing Protoss in GSL and outplayed Trap in the macro games). What gives Dark the edge in rankings is his GSL win.

Because Dark just won in the hardest competition while Serral is winning in WCS? From top20 players are what, 16 at GSL? Competition you run against matters.

He's better in the h2h vs Dark, and I'd give him at least ZvZ. But no way is his ZvT better.

ZvP could go either way, but it's hard to argue Serral is decisively better when Dark just won GSL almost entirely off that matchup and Serral hasn't beaten a single high profile toss all year.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

This! Yeah if went by that then Neeb should have always been ahead of Serral and sOs over Maru.
Edit: Although sOs isnt decisively better he still beat him twice by a score of 3-1.

sOs is best

Head to head shouldn't generally be a criteria, but Serral is indeed decisively ahead of Dark(games Serral played in 2015 aren't that relevant) while he is only slightly behind Neeb(Serral's famous 0-3 online defeat before BlizzCon heavily contributes since they are 11-14 in maps overall).

9-5(3-1) is decisively ahead while 11-11(3-4) is only slightly behind, yes. I don't get why this should be relevant by any means, that's not the right argument. Also, I appreciated the OPM Serral vs Neeb meme.

Well if you work 9 to 5 you decisively work too much and if you work from 11 to 14 you're slightly lazy.

Its really about styles and matchups,

Serral beats Dark lately, but he struggels againts Neeb a lot. While Dark humiliates Neeb every time they meet.

that's a good point. Serral doesn't do great against Reynor but I don't think Reynor has 2nd or 3rd best ZvZ in the world; it's more like his style doesn't match up as well against Reynor for whatever reason (Reynor plays kind of unorthodox).

It's almost like there are three different match-ups and players don't play to the same level in all match-ups. Head to Head should be considered but it definitely isn't the end all be all
