I feel like MVP should drop down a little bit maybe push him to #4 simply because he lost to some of the lower level players at MLG. But I understand your points. Great article! He lost to MC and Leenock o.O. Then he smashed MC in extended series. | ||

I hope you had fun because your post is absolutely irrelevant. Oh the Irony... Well I have to agree others with Puma over Ret on this. Also If leenock does lose to MVP I will definately say you should have waiting until after november was over . | ||

There are some players on that list where I disagree with you, but I respect the effort that you put in and will keep my opinions to myself. Yeah I'm not sure the international mixed with GSL works. Seeing Naniwa and Hero above players like MMA and Nestea just jars too much. | ||

Ret, for one, does not deserve to be on this list above players like PuMa or Stephano. MMA's results in November consisted of the Ro16 in GSL, and then quick losses from his seeded position at Providence. It seems like you completely threw the ASUS ROG tournament as well as the IPL 4 i44 Qualifiers and Battle in Berlin out the window as far as tournament results go. SuperNoVa should also be on this list above a few of the players listed, with his high finishes in both Korean WCG and AoL2. | ||

Sorry, I do like seeing people's personal rankings and everything, but I'd definitely agree with Virgil...sort of. Spoiler: I don't think Fionn analyzes the games at a professional level, but he knows hype and follows a lot of the competitive scene as far as I know. But his power ranking was pretty on the mark imo, even though a lot of them went down it sort of speaks of SC2's volatile nature currently. Imo: - MVP not being number 1 isn't right. Leenock's currently in beast mode, no denying that, but what puts him above the consistency of MVP from one tournament win? - DRG's rating appears to be a bit of a stretch and largely based off MLG. In fact, the rating appears to be heavily based on MLG > GSL >>> DH and AOL / NASL is just another reference (ignoring, as said above, IPL qualifiers, ASUS, etc. Of course MLG was big, but there is heavy bias in the rankings thanks to the top 16. GSL is always big, but only at the semi finals stage. Anyway, still an interesting read. Don't get me wrong. Wouldn't mind seeing this stuff in blogs though since everyone has their own rating it would be good to encourage people to show their own opinions of things en masse...without spamming... | ||

SuperNoVa should also be on this list above a few of the players listed, with his high finishes in both Korean WCG and AoL2. Supernova, Puma, and Stephano were all considered, as were IdrA and HuK. However, Both IdrA and Stephano failed to really last at the big tournaments this month (IdrA at MLG and Stephano at Dreamhack). HuK never really made a dent, and Supernova's stomping on in GSL code S kinda soured him to me. PuMa however, really was a strong contender, maybe it's that I'm biased a bit, but I really felt Ret put a solid enough month of play to put him above PuMa. I did however miss much of i44, due to watching MLG Providence. I tried to catch up as much as I could but unfortunately, I don't always have enough time.

Since a very important match is being played tonight >< Lol, good point. Yeah, I think Leenock is a bit high, and WTF Ret over Idra/Puma/Huk/Stephano lol. MVP is easily my number one as well. At least it was an entertaining read though, and Power Rankings are meant to be argued over, so thanks for the effort. I think you are weighing the MLG storylines a bit much though. For example, Naniwa's strong showing should get him in at the bottom of the list IMO. Getting slapped down first round GSL by one of FXO's lesser players and still number 4 is a bit iffy. | ||
