Gonna be difficult. Our broadcasting time is practically cut down to half. And we also need new players to be able to play and grow. Imho this is the best we can get with what we have. | ||

... Not a fan of 6-10. Well, I guess Bisu's place is okay. The rest of it bugs me. I'd rather have seen Bogus on the rank and I didn't see Effort's loss to Best, but I think overall his play was actually cleaner in R2 than R1, yet not even a CBNC for him. Turn at 7 feels just damn weird. I'm glad he made the ranking, but 7 feels too high. In fairness to you, Flamewheel, this was a tough month to rank. Usually there's some difficulty around 9/10, but this time it gets ugly after 5. P.S. Very amused that people commenting on the Featured Article thought the jaw dropping game was Flying. It was the win over Modesty. That game was art. The Flying game made me want to smash my computer and bury it at the bottom of an abandoned mine shaft. Possibly the worst game of SC in all progaming history. Awful performance from both players. | ||

I wonder what similar stats would be for flash, stork, and bisu. I have some hope that Jaedong will see a return to form as team 8 starts performing better or once osl starts. For Stork? Just 2 months ago T-T Bisu? September 2010. Flash? August 2009. So Jaedong's streak was actually the longest out of anyone :/ | ||

I'm thinking JD will go 6-1 in R3, with his only loss coming to Flash. | ||

Flash and SoulKey are the only two players who have really impressed me through and through this season. | ||

Jaehoon commented in an interview recently that the quality of the players in PL has gone up a lot (maybe this is not what you mean though...). This should be the case since there are so few teams now that are stacked with good players from the disbanded teams. I don't think anyone will beat Jaedong's run on the PR, it's just insane. Flash could do it, but the chances are small imo: he needs 2,5 years more I think which is just absurd. And tbh I really think Jaedong should have made this ranking too. Tanks for the write up  | ||

It's just that there's no individual leagues, the reduction from Bo7 to Bo5 and each team only plays once per week. Altogether we're getting 1/3 of the games we got from last year. There have always been bad games but the sheer number of games played meant we were bound to get at least a good one or two every day. As long as we got to see at least one really good game then staying up to watch Brood War is worth it. Right now the schedule is set up in such a way that we might go 5 days without seeing a great game, thus furthering the perception that the quality of play has gone down. | ||

Arguably having it as a bo5 increases games between the big guns. There's a bigger chance they'll meet each other with less spots. Who wants to see 6 games of scrubs and no real guarantee of an ace match? Bo5 increases the tension because each game is worth even more and it keeps broadcasting time at reasonable levels for OGN. | ||
