I made a lengthy post in the discussion thread a week or two ago about this, and I was curious as to how you would handle game-disparities. You can neither reward nor punish players for playing less games, so you juggle it as best you can. But it seems Baby an Fantasy got rewarded for having a coach that saved them for last. After all, you gotta give them the benefit of the doubt. I think Fantasy is a good #2 fit, don't get me wrong, but just look at how you pick apart Stork so well - it's partially thanks to him having played 40% more games than Fantasy and Baby coming into this ranking. It is an undeniable fact that everybody loses, and the more you play the more you will show your failings. I think the #6 is a fine spot for Stork, because his game versus Crazy Hydra was a fail of scouting. You cannot ignore what you see. But you also cannot ignore that both Fantasy and Baby have missed games, and I can't help but feel they are being rewarded for it. I accept Fantasy because he was good last season and last ranking, including in the OSL, but Baby was nowhere to be seen doing anything note-worthy. Jaedong should be higher than Baby, imo. Get a decent 4-1 run, with wins over an utter newbie Wooki and a currently slumping hard Soo, and suddenly you are #4 and we forget everything of the past? You even said yourself that Baby sometimes responds to his epic multitasking with fail moments. Having played only 5 games, we don't know that he won't again, so we can't give him a #4 spot over players who played 40% more games. tl;dr: Jaedong and maybe Stork over Baby. We must use caution with players who are missing multiple games. | ||

Not the most simple PR to write due to the small number of games, but I digress. | ||

I was gonna expect EffOrt, but when he started losing games, I was like "well, maybe he isn't completely back yet". And that's understandable, I mean that was a pretty long break for EffOrt. I'll see him on PR next month. And Flamewheel, what do you mean by the last years of our lives? YOU DONT MEAN... | ||

Not the most simple PR to write due to the small number of games, but I digress. This is the most disrespectful crap. I don't give a damn if you disagree, but dropping off a two line post as nothing more than a vague insult to someone's hardwork is garbage. If you've got a problem with how he ranked then atleast put forth the effort to make a semblance of an argument instead of being obtuse and rude. You're better than that. | ||

 Bisu is on the power rank this time around. He was 4-3 and 3 wins were against Zerg. Seems pretty one dimensional to me. The only difference between him and  Last is the fact that Last is a new face. I'd give Last his moment in the sun because it might be his Last,  EffOrt is also deserving of the spot even though his PvZ has been rough. His wins were more memorable and he seemed to be [tlpd#teams#9]CJ's ace for a time. | ||

Then again, we've only seen 6-8 games for most players, so it's hard to judge I guess | ||
