Guz's simplified power rank
 

I'm currently located in the arse end of New South Wales with barely much to do at all except listen to nieces/nephew cry an awful lot and get drained dry by mosquitoes so here's a simplified power ranking for us all to not argue over at all. If you do debate my clearly irrefutable findings then I will get Tgun to ban you. He'll do it.

NOT SHIT TIER

Glade. There's nothing to discuss here is there? Glade won some things he played in and unlike the rest of us useless bastards can actually beat foreigners on occasion. Isn't that nice?

PiG. PiG had a 2012 that can only be adequately described as ******* fantastic. WCS AUS, ACL Melbourne, IESF and a bunch of IEM qualifications. Easily the most successful not-glade for SEA 2012. He still has to learn how not to be shit at international events, his score this year is like 3-928729874 (I may of rounded up a bit), but that's alright. PiG earns the right to go 1-10 in IEM Koln or lose to random Kazakhstanis more then all the people below him, so I'm going to put him here.

Mafia. Has an account in SEA #1 GM's. Mafia had a really good 2012 that consisted of monstering a ton of smaller online events, team leagues and Cityhunter lans but falling just that little bit short in bigger competitions. He hasn't won an ACL, trip-overseas Qualifier or other major event which is why I place him below PiG, though he has performed quite strongly throughout the year overall. Maybe he'll actually win something worthwhile in 2013, like the first season of HotS GM SEA ladder.

Tgun. Tgun kinda scrapes through on here honestly, I almost put him in the below tier. He crushes all the P's and T's regularly but he loses a lot of ZvZ's, even some to lower tier members. He did win a laptop once so that makes up for it, welcome to Not Shit Tier Mr Seymour.

RAY TIER

Light. This is an awkward tier. It consists of people who occasionally beat Not Shit tier in major tournaments but aren't in top tier themselves, whilst still destroying Arse Tier regularly. I spent a bit of time thinking about who deserves to be in this tier and concluded that it should probably just be Ray. I'm actually not 100% if this tier is legit but then I realised I get to make critical decisions like this without having to consult anyone else and I am clearly drunk off this sort of power.

Ray's a busy guy and I think his skill has plateau'd somewhat, which is something he will have to either work through or learn to deal with. But hey, you get a tier to yourself Ray. Your're special.

ARSE TIER.

Everyone else.

Face it, we're bad. We lose consistently to the above tiers and rarely, if ever, knock them out of anything. Sometimes we do alright and show promise but we lack the consistency of Ray Tier (even then I think Ray tier might be a bit loaded I'm not sure). Sometimes we do alright and beat QXC 2-0 or so or maybe we get to go to France and Korea because we live in a very small place and play a fucked up ez mode race but most of the time we lose to the 5 above names, or worse each other.

We could argue amongst ourselves about who is ontop or below of anyone else in arse tier but it's pointless; you're Arse! Who cares how good you are when you're an organ designed for transporting shit.
