First of all, I will be writing the Power Rank this month as Steve is busy with his real life obligations. (Travel safe buddy). I am posting this today, a mere two weeks after the last PR, to get the column back on a monthly schedule.
Because there has only been two weeks, there have not been many games played. So, consider this a "mini-PR", focusing on recent Winners League performances and my own interpretation of things.
How I choose to calculate the Power Rank may be slightly different than how others have done it. Bear with me while I explain my thought process.
Imagine you are walking down the street when suddenly time and space rips open, sucking you into the vortex of an alternate universe. In this universe, there exists only you, Darth Vader, and the Korean progamers. You brace for the inevitable neck squeeze when you discover to your relief, the force does not work here.
You and Vader have a sit-down. It is obvious that the universe is only big enough for one of you. You decide to each choose one progamer to represent each other for one game, with the loser being killed and cast into oblivion.
The Power Rank consist not of the top ten who you would choose to play for you, but the top ten scariest opponents that Lord Vader could choose to end your life and suck your soul.
Good Luck.

You tricky rascal!

What race would Vader play.....
|
Vader would clearly play Zerg.
Any other choice would clearly make him a pussy.

Vader cheeses every game.
And it's not some pussy 4/5 pool either. Vader's so fucking badass, he does a 0-pool rush. Epitome of kekekezergrush TBH.
|
Actually, Vader plays Zerg and does a fast gas build, use the first 50 minerals for an Extractor, don't mine any minerals with your 3 drones. Wait for gas is up, then start mining gas.

Kwanro: I don’t really have much to film…
Iris: Now, attack! Pikachu!
Iris: I’ll stoop down~ get up
Kwanro: I don’t want to get full body shots
|
Thank you very much for this
|
cool
Darth Vader is so screwed
|
PR is pretty spot on, I say. I wouldn't have even bothered with an explanation ^^
|
I would always choose Jaedong if my life depended on it 
|
Hahahaha!!!!! I love this explanation!!!! However, if I was going up against Darth Vader in this format, I would choose players that counter his picks! And I can think of many..... *cough cough* + Show Spoiler + would be one choice of mine...

Vaders Dts can seige up and splash damage.
|
nice PR, thanks!
and Vader's coward.
|
Vaders dragoons are so powerful they destroy the map they are playing on.
|
This was such an amazing post
|
PR and Vader in one post? Awesomeness ensues
|
Your statistics are wrong Manifesto, you said that Leta hasn't lost 2 TV games in a row since May 2008, however he lost consecutively on September 18 and October 4, to Iris and Backho respectively. Just thought I'd point that out.
Anyways great PR this month

TBH, I'd choose July. If he loses, he just consumes Vader for extra energy, then turns into an Ultralisk that can cast PLAAAAAYGUUUUU.

Have you read the explanation? It's Vader who gets to use JD.

Yea, although I think it might be okay if I get like boxer oov and flash on a team against jd
great to see the powerank get back on schedule.

I think this is the best criterium ever to determine the power rank! Great job =)

The 0 pool *shivers* that's the one where instead of spawning with 4 drones he spawns with a spawning pool and 150 minerals correct?

It's when you kill 3 of your initial drones THEN make a pool.
