Power Rank
Rank | Player | Prev | High | Description |
1. | Bisu (P) (stats) |
+1 | 1 | Well, it happened: someone knocked Savior from his perch. I’m just not happy to do it under these circumstances. Bisu’s MSL victory came after the post-OSL slump of Savior, and the Superfight is a nothing tournament. So the piece of evidence that ultimately swayed my opinion was Bisu tearing through the OSL preliminaries. The guy isn’t losing—not to anyone—and when that’s the case, I don’t have much choice in placement. I just wish things were a little more clean-cut at this point. One thing I can conclusively say is that the trio of Nada, Bisu, and Savior is a notch above everyone else at the moment—a big notch. |
2. | sAviOr (Z) (stats) |
-1 | 1 | I can already hear the Nada fans crying, but let me assure you that this was an incredibly difficult decision. Savior beat Nada on unfavorable maps in a prestigious tournament. Nada beat Savior on favorable maps in a less prestigious tournament. Savior lost to Bisu in the MSL finals. Nada didn’t make the MSL in the first place. And both players blew it in the Superfight. It was a tough call, but I think all but the most rabid fans can agree that it was probably the right one. |
3. | Nada (T) (stats) |
+2 | 2 | What really impressed me about Nada this past month, to be honest, wasn’t that he beat Savior. Hell, I was actually surprised, given the maps, that Savior beat Casy. No, what impressed me was Nada beating Iris in such stellar fashion. That win alone cemented him the #3 slot. |
4. | Iris[gm] (T) (stats) |
-1 | 2 | Losing to Nada was, well, unexpected, but Iris managed third place in the OSL and clean everyone’s clock in the Pre-Masters. That places him above Midas. |
5. | Midas (T) (stats) |
-1 | 2 | It’s a stale refrain, but there’s just not any evidence to suggest that Midas isn’t his usual, beastly self. Yeah, he lost to Iris, but what Terran—aside from Nada, apparently—doesn’t? The loss to Anytime was disappointing, but like I said above, the Superfight is really a nothing tournament. |
6. | Much[gm] (P) (stats) |
0 | 4 | I have faith in Much, which is why he hasn’t moved this month despite not playing a single game. That sentiment did not hold true for one person from last month. |
7. | Nal_rA (P) (stats) |
0 | 5 | I won’t lie and say that Ra’s Superfight performance was impressive, but despite his inconsistent style, Ra has posted consistent results for a long time. |
8. | Light[aLive] (T) (stats) |
+2 | 2 | Light is going to have a chance to show off his hopefully new and improved TvT against Shine, and he’s already in the MSL. I’m still holding out hope for Light to reach the whole of his potential, but my patience is not limitless. |
9. | Jangbi (P) (stats) |
- | 1 | Jangbi was one of the very first players to qualify for the upcoming MSL, and he cruised through the PSL on his way to the ODT. I’ve had an eye on him ever since he dismantled Chojja in the Survivor League, and he looks like another Bisu: no nonsense, huge skill. While he hasn’t accomplished enough in the major leagues to warrant this slot, he’s showing such potential that I’m willing to give him a low slot in this month of utter stagnation. |
10. | Jaedong (Z) (stats) |
- | 1 | I’m taking a leap of faith on Jaedong. The guy has, as a said a long time ago, top-tier talent, and now that he’s in the MSL and has cruised into the ODT, I’m willing to take the plunge. Yes, I know that he made the MSL and the ODT last season and accomplished, well, nothing, but I have a feeling about his performance this season. It’s a vague and terrible thing to say, I know, but I’d rather go with a feeling than with Hwasin. Looking at Hwasin’s ODT group (three Zergs with weak ZvT and only one Protoss), though, I’ll probably have to make room for him next month. iloveoov was the smarter, safer call, but I'm tired of the older generation of players getting all the attention. |
