JD out? I dunno even though nobody can disagree that he hasn't been impressive, he still has the second best record among zergs this season. I wish you had given him one more month with the benefit of the doubt. At any rate, yay Flash for #1, not that it was unexpected.

Pretty sure the jaw dropping game is Jaedong vs Modesty

such strange times we have right now. Stats #1 Protoss, Soulkey #1 Zerg, Jaedong off the power rank and playing worse than Jaehoon, Leta, Turn and Brave.
8/4/12 never forget, never forgive.

This is a bit of a vapid statement. It's more like Bisu hasn't shown any reason to drop him. Jaedong has just been playing poorly.


Bisu is 5-2, losses to Tyson and hOn_sin.
Jaedong is 4-3, losses to Canata, Flash and Effort.
Somehow I'm not convinced that while Bisu is #6, Jaedong doesn't get to appear on the list at all.

To be fair, JD did have a lot more to prove, and some of his wins were cheese related or ... well, humiliating. Bisu had less to prove, and he's only moving up on account of others dropping off.

I .... I .. agree with the power rank.
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

At least swap Bisu for Jaehoon. Jaehoon has a pretty good record and beat some bigpro names this month.

a good power rank is a power rank that changes slightly from month to month

To be fair towards Bisu is the last thing I would expect from you. >.<

JD will win the next GSL in a dominating fashion and will hold #1 power rank until sc1 fades out. I believe!

Yay new PR :D

Against both Flash and Fantasy Stork had chances to win.
...
he beats his lesser opponents like drums and comes close to beating some awesome opponents (à la Flash and Fantasy), but the crux of the matter is he doesn't beat them.

Don't exactly agree with this. Flash was ahead pretty much all game (from the opening, to the drop, to the push and after). While Stork did stop the push with the shuttles, it didn't really put him ahead. At best he broke even on that engagement (saved his nat, but not before losing most of his army), but Flash still led in supply the entire time. Had Flash let stork keep that 5th and just sat around on 3 bases turtling for whatever reason (while having an army advantage), then yes Stork would have had a chance to win.
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.

I was under the impression that the power rank isn't about confidence, but about results. This month's power rank is whack when you look at places 4-10+.

Hooray for the power ranks. Good to see some bw stuff featured. By the way, we really need someone to beat Flash soon, it is kind of boring when there is no competition over the top spot.
Brood War is the best RTS that has ever been created.
