Happy to see Soulkey on the PR again. His last two games haven't been awesome, but he's a great player who I'm happy to see succeed.

No qualms with the PR, great job! Back on the sidebar!

Please tell me in what way is being the #4 player in proleague being the most mediocre last year? Or all the playoff wins? Or the back to back all kills of SKT and Woongjin? Or in general having a really high winrate and beating top players frequently?

you so wrong

Guys, I thought people learned to ignore this last year when Lightwhip was claiming it all over the place..

I love that everyone recognizes stats nowadays, makes me a little hipster about being a stats fan but whatever :3

Alright, here's another T1 fan talking.

While it is not as extreme as he put it, i do rate Stats lower than most around here. Personally i view him as a streaky kind of player aka strings of strong wins, followed by another string of bad losses. Like i posted earlier in this thread (or in the LR thread), i believe Stats will lose momentum soon, and KT will have (much) more trouble edging out on top, esp vs strong teams like SKT or Samsung.

So yea, if i have to bet, i ll bet that Stats won't be around the top 5 by the time the next PR rolls around.

Stats has had >1< bad streak since the beginning of 2009... Atleast give credit for consistency where its due.. Do I need to mention that the only active guy on T1 who stats has a loosing streak against is hyuk?
But if by streaky you mean that he goes from above average and consistent into borderline S-class sometimes, sure, go ahead and call it that.

Stats being streaky = playing good at worst and competing with S-Class players at best.

Thought Last should for sure be in the top ten. Ahhh well. Maybe next month. Nice to see Baby climbing to the top. Although I'm pretty sure all of baby's recent wins are TVT, and a loss to Last so I'm a little confused on the logic. Not saying Last is better than Baby, butttttttt.

Bogus will be in next month. You watch and see.

Good ranking. But the anti-Stork kinda bugs me. Not just because I am a fan, but because he played the full 7 games and none of them were PvT. If January had saved Stork for 4th or 5th in the 2 3-0s at the end of Round 1, then Stork would be 5-0.

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.

that's a more fair comment, I don't think you can really make a case against his current ranking though.

stats is definitely one of the most consistent, solid players in bw right now, but i dont think he's anywhere near s-class. i mean, sure he has a good record against bisu and stork (neither is actually strong in pvp), but he's jaedong's bitch. he's a solid player, but not intimidating in a dominating way

Shhhhh. I think he's actually saying Stats is as good as Fantasy

I'll agree with what Milkis said once: you write a lot when your justification is horribly weak.
Not the most simple PR to write due to the small number of games, but I digress.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.

Liked the PR. 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...

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.

I don't understand why (P)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 (T)Last is the fact that (T)Last is a new face. I'd give (T)Last his moment in the sun because it might be his (T)Last, (Z)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.

CJ's ace? Hardly. I'm not sure what games you are watching. Effort is getting massively overrated atm.

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