Seriously, a power ranking apot for a player that has proved nothing in more than 2 months is really counterintuitive and a temporary ranking based on nostalgia for a guy who will never ascend to his former prowess ever again is just... really biased.


...but sponmatches!

aren't you one of the ones that argues about recency bias? you don't get it both ways. You either accept that recency bias will show up in rankings, or you acknowledge that POWER means raw power or skill of a player which means a player of flash's caliber will automatically rise up even if he hasn't been the most active.

Nice work, but I think you made a mistake in this month's power rank: Flash is not number 1.

And given recent events, shouldn't Bisu be in the top 10?

What no mention of Sacsri? Not even after taking out Flash and being quite dominate in the KCM? I would have given him at at a CBNC

Very true. This was originally written in June, so some patch work was done and I just forgot him.


I recommend adding a footnote so people don't get mad eg. I was wondering why Bisu didn't have a CBNC mention

He played BW before SC2 and was voted best rookie in Proleague of 2011. He was really good at BW even before SC2 :D

Hmm... I have to call into question he intent of the statement you're making when you seem to rarely, if ever, post on the TL BW forum. It reeks of BW vs SC2 messaging and I find it somewhat inflammatory. Rain was a great BW player before SC2, as Qikz points out. So was Soulkey.

Quite the contrary. Rain made some serious buck for his great SC2 play.

It's quite interesting how TL power rankings seem to be dramatically different from the Korean community's rankings of these players. Calm being considered top 10 would be laughed out of court in Korea LOL
