Stats is performing better than stork and he is more well rounded than Bisu. Without the PL people woulda talked of Bisu lastyear as the mostslumping person along with Free and Kal last year. I think you mean Feb 2010, and being ranked top 3 on the PR on one particular month doesn't really mean all that much in the grand scheme of things. Back in the days before PL, tournaments mostly started at the Ro16, but there were more of them. It wasn't just OSL and MSL, although those two were already the most prestigious by the time PL got going. So it's hard to say exactly where Bisu would have ended up in the rankings. | ||

That team has way to many players (yet did poorly in Round 2). Those players all have winning records, but are seen so infrequenly that it is hard to judge. CJ is done for the round, so Movie and Leta only played in 3 of their teams 7 matches that round. 3 games is really not enough to rank someone who did not make the previous PR, unless they go 3-0 over fairly good competition (such as Turn did). That's the price to pay for being a member of CJ Entus. If Movie wants to be a star he should join the Air Force. Effort played in 4 games. He also played in 6 games last round, compared to Movie and Leta who played in 4 that round. That's enough for effort, but Movie, no, imo. Though I really like his play so far, and think he should get a CBNC at the very least (and I wouldn't crucify Flamewheel for giving him a spot, I just think he can't make a name for himself if he's gonna play in a minority of his team's matches). | ||

I'm pretty sure the only players to have played every game so far are Bisu and Stork. | ||

![]() I'm not sure how your first line applies to Movie. He played 4 games last round, and went 2-2. That's nothing special, especially considering his two wins: PvT wins over Sea and Light are basically auto-wins this season. He didn't even get a CBNC for this ranking. So I agree with you completely, which is why I said 3 games is not enough unless you got a spot on last rank or are undefeated (or maybe destroy Flash). I just can't see Movie going from no consideration in the last PR, goes 2-1, and suddenly makes the top 10. But if he does, I won't be mad or anything, as I say he's definitely a top 15 player this season. | ||

1. Flash (10-0) 2. fantasy (9-1) 3. Neo.G_SoulKey (9-3) 4. Last (8-2) 5. Stork (9-4) 6. Stats (8-3) 7. Bisu (9-5) 8. Jaedong (7-5) 9. TurN (4-0) 10. BeSt (7-6) The next three are EffOrt (6-4), Leta (5-3), BaBy (5-4), followed by Brave, Crazy-Hydra, and Calm (all at 4-2). Then we get into non-winning records or not as many games (or both), the exception being Movie's 4-3. All the usual disclaimers about pure stats, not taking game quality or opponents into account, etc. etc. apply, probably double since this isn't even an analysis just the second thing I worked up to start to approximate quality. On the other hand, I do expect the PR and CNBC to basically draw from that top sixteen, with possible exceptions for these players: Hydra (?), Jangbi (??), Movie (?), Bogus (???). | ||

I think putting turn above jaedong and bisu would be better. Turn just hasn't been given enough chances. On February 10 2012 12:35 Mortality wrote: Why win^2?

Given how few games there are, I really feel just some combination of record and watching actual play would be enough. | ||

Here's what I'm feeling. The top 2 cannot be questioned at the moment, imo: 1. Flash - Don't even try to argue this one. 2. Fantasy - Ditto. The rest have some leeway, but here's my picks: 3/4 - Soulkey or Stats (whichever order) 5 - Bisu 6/7 - Last or Stork (whichever order) 8/9/10/CBNC - Brave, Bogus, Effort, Jaedong, Jaehoon, Turn (whichever order) Maaaayyybe CBNC (and a very weak chance at #10) - Best, Leta, Movie Bisu may have an argument for #3 as well, but I'm not sure I really felt much from him this round, though his record was very good of course. Last kinda faltered in his TvT aura and although Stork went only 4-3 this round (as did Last), but he did play Flash and Fantasy, so what's a poor toss to do? I could see either having a good argument to be placed over the other. Jaedong is getting the W's recently, so I'm fine with him in the top 10 if there's good rational for it. Though Jaehoon makes a very strong case, and probably should make the top 10 unless his reputation precedes him. I'm not sure how much consideration Brave has been given, but he has redeemed himself for his fail game against Hydra last round. Pure W/L he went 4-1 this round which is impressive, but his competition was certainly not the strongest. | ||
