I like this month's rank, far more accurate than last month's.

(T)fantasy at #2 looks weird at first, but if you think about it, that's really only because we tend to prioritize games at the END of August (where he wasn't looking so hot) over games at the BEGINNING of August (where he was on fire). I probably would've put him at #3 and (Z)Calm at #2, but no big deal.

The rest of it looks good. I'm really disappointed in (Z)EffOrt, he looked completely helpless against (T)Flash, getting thoroughly and overwhelmingly smacked down by both bio (Game 1) and mech (Game 2). Hopefully he picks up his play for the sake of CJ's ace needs.
Favorite progamers (in order): Flash, Stork, Violet, Sea. ||| Get better soon, Violet!

To be quite honest, I don't like this writing style at all. It's like a bard singing cheesy tales about what heroic things happened last month. The ranking itself seems accurate enough, but I prefer JWD's drier style with links to remarkable games and stuff.

When you have two Starleague winners, they really both deserve either 1st and 2nd place, barring extraordinary circumstances.


The proleague grand finals have to be at least as important as an MSL. Especially when one player essentially wins it singlehandedly, as Fantasy did.

Medals mean nothing in a Power Rank.

People forget that if Fantasy was on the other side of the Bacchus bracket he would have been an OSL finalist. Really, that semifinal was the final of Bacchus. Additionally Bisu did nothing all of august except WCG, and lose to iris in PAINFUL fashion. Yes he had a good WCG run, but aside from beating Flash he had a pretty cruisey run. (he didn't look that good against free either).

At the end of the day its not just about results. They do matter, but really, how the games panned out and the quality of those games means so much more than the score card. Etter justified placing Anytime #2 over Nada #3 in the PR immediately following Shinhan 2 and it is something that everyone since has done.

Why would JWD retire?
Jaedong has to be a Bonjwa. Tired of of rooting for July.

Seriously, why all the Bisu hate on here?
It's been going on for a while that Bisu gets placed lower than he actually should be placed on this rank.
Hey, sup, he's Elo #1 again - sure JD #1 with golden mouse is nothing to doubt - but uhhhhm Bisu won Stork, Flash, Lux with quite an ease - only lost to IriS 2-3 after all - and the last game was so fucking close it was a combination of (mini-)choke and IriS being TvP gosu - tell me please - who except Jaedong is playing better SC than Bisu?
Guess what?
None does.

The only reason why Fanta is over Bisu in this rank?
Cause he did oh so great vs "everybody's darling" Jaedong in PL - and yet lost a Bo5 to him - AGAIN.

Sure Fantasy is fucking great, no doubt about that, but sorry folks, Bisu is even better.
Bisu is the favorite against anybody in this world except Jaedong - where the odds would be like 48-52 for JD I guess.

Yes, even vs Fantasy he'd be the favorite.
Yes, his OSL run was pathetic to say the least - but that was last PR, eh?

There is no favorite in Bisu against Fantasy - inter-team battles always point to wierd.

Great list! Glad to have you at the helm

And holyshit it's not even 9/1 here in the states and we already have a PR. Miracles truly do happen.

awesome, on time and everything and looks a lot like my list.

i think the iris/bisu match is a little bit overvalued here - it was 2-2 this month. anyway, good stuff
