No one has beaten Dark and he’s still playing, so that’s fine I guess. herO seems too high to me, but that is what it is. Innovation is only on here because he’s got a ton of history. | ||

I mean, top 2 could be fine but stats played so amazingly to beat him that I think he should be above him. | ||

The same Reynor who didnt make it out of group stages at ROG? Also the same guy that got absolutely dumpstered by Maru who did the same build every single game? Hes improving but hes not there yet. | ||

The idea of a PR should be an indication of who's most likely to win a championship if one was played this month. | ||

To prove my own point, I disagree While I think some people might prefer a version of the PR where Maru and Serral were top two for an entire year, I like the inclusion of just enough 'what have you done for me lately?' to keep things moving. | ||

Well then, Stats is top 2 for sure and Solar is a bit up | ||

My ranking would be: 1. Dark; 2. Stats; 3. Trap; 4. Classic; 5. Serral; 6. Solar; 7. Maru etc. Reynor truly has no place in the top 10. He only got the mention because he beat Serral. His ZvT and ZvP are good for WCS standards, but very sub-par for GSL standard. | ||

Obiously should be a factor. But even if Maru or Serral don't play any relevent matches for a month, I'd still put them higher than say a Trap or Solar, who have been on fire but don't have the history. | ||

Yes he won HSC (barely), but then lost to Reynor, Stats and was very lucky not to get swept by Time 3:0. My ranking would be: 1. Dark; 2. Stats; 3. Trap; 4. Classic; 5. Serral; 6. Solar; 7. Maru etc. Reynor truly has no place in the top 10. He only got the mention because he beat Serral. His ZvT and ZvP are good for WCS standards, but very sub-par for GSL standard. What real opposition is this? In the relatively recent past he’s taken out soO and TY at HSC, he convincingly beat Inno in brackets at ASUS ROG. Stats and Serral probably have the most similar recent results of anyone in this list, a title apiece in tournaments and a top 4 and top 6 respectively where they both played, runner up and Ro16 in the most recent action in their circuit tournament. Stats probably shades it due to triumphing whenever they’ve met in tournaments recently, I don’t think there’s much of gap otherwise. | ||

Granted, I value Serral very high because he does not seem to have slump periods like other pros. But when the other top pros are in form (Inno and soO at the start of the year, Stats now), they seem to beat him in those periods. I would be very intrested how Serral would perform if he had 1 year in GSL. If he would make RO8 consistently, or seem to struggle at times as well against better opposition. | ||

Yea, and when Serral is in form, he just never loses "Almost losing" is just like "almost winning", it doesn't really count. | ||

If it is to be read as who we think has more probabilities to win GSL vs the World, I would have swapped some names in the top 6: Maru with Classic and Stats with Trap. | ||
