Always a good feeling to see a new Power Rank, with Flash and Stats at the top no less! Really nice work!

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.


no he's not :p. he has to be up there in the list of most biased people on this forum, and it's significantly worse that he's an SKT fan. his post cries of SKT fanboy ragetears that bisu is so low on the PR

Lightwip has never had issues articulating his thoughts or explaining himself or his arguments. It doesn't matter that he's biased, like I said.

It is extremely difficult to evaluate the players seeing as very few have played even 7 games so I truly commend you for the quality of this write-up.

Yay! Stork is back on the list!

Also, HURRAY STORK IS HIGHER THAN BISU!

Also, I hope people will stop forgetting about Stork now. People always mention Flash Jaedong Bisu and they forget Stork > lol

Don't get me wrong: I'd have just as much trouble ranking this month as he did, and I acknowledged that. However, this PR is extremely arguable in so many ways that what Milkis says really seems to be true.
Sorry if I came across as rude, that was not my intention. I simply think that this rank is based upon so little that you'd have a hard time really justifying what's what. The fact that he took 2 hours to decide between Stats and Fantasy attests to this fact.

I don't think Bisu did well this month. I just don't really think that he made a solid case for all his placements overall. Not that I think it would be easy for anyone else to either.
I appreciate the jab at me, SKT fans, and Bisu though.

I'm sorry Lightwip, what would you prefer? If my justification is weak, please provide a counterargument and back it up.

One thing specifically that bugs me about your PR's, this one more than any others, is how you justify your ideas with what appears to me as bias and things that are less than meaningful. There's no way to avoid it, and you can be sure that I'd be likely to similarly favor SKT players, yet usually it's not as apparent as it is this time. A lot of justification is based on inane and weak details.
A few things I'd note that struck me in particular are Stats vs Fantasy placement and Jangbi vs Best placement(Yes, both SKT players, yet also the most arguable points in this PR, I'm sure you'd agree).
Stats and Fantasy are certainly very similar in scores, but your justification for Stats over Fantasy was... contribution to the team. So because overall SKT is a more solid team, with a lineup of Bisu, BeSt, and By.Sun that can win without Fantasy, that makes him less powerful than Stats? I wouldn't agree with this line of logic, nor do I think it's valid in this case.
Jangbi vs Best is also kinda biased. I'm sure you understood this yourself, with lines like "But BeSt didn't win an OSL last season, so sucks for him. " and "Honestly, JangBi hasn't done anything that notable." Not to mention you try to justify Best>JD by claiming that JD must have been off his game instead of giving enough credit where it is due for improving his weak matchup and sustaining his other ones.
I have other gripes, though these two are the most obvious. They both happen to be SKT players so you might call bias, however I think you'd agree that the placement of those was VERY debatable.
Though as I said, this isn't the easiest of PR's to make. That's why so much detail is necessary.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.
