imho fantasy should even be #4, behind bisu. bisu´s loss to iris was by a razor-thin margin and besides this, he didnt show any real weakness this month. what really bites him in the ass for this months PR is that he is the superior player on an overstacked, superior team. he didnt have an opportunity to show his skills on the biggest stage, the pl grand finals, because his team was so strong that they didnt even need him. is bisu to blame for being used as their teams "end boss" and for their opponent not even making it to the "end boss"? that the skt coach decided to send fantasy on neo medusa and bisu on destination, although medusa is bisus playground and destination is t>>z-favoured, clearly shows who is the more reliable and clutch player. in fact i would credit 5-10% of fantasys bunker rush win over jd to fantasy knowing that even if he fails there is still an equally strong, if not even stronger, teammate to finish the series. to me its obvious that the PR should look like this: 1. Jaedong 2. Calm 3. Bisu 4. Fantasy 5. Flash | ||

CBNC is clearly where Hyuk belongs for this month. 1 game from Jaedong and an all kill in the B-team league are a step in the right direction, but are not nearly enough to convince me that Hyuk will ever be more than a mediocre Zerg with a few good days in the office this month. And lol @ no Yarnc. 2nd in the OSL is a big accomplishment no matter how you slice it. Not putting him in top 10 would be a disservice to the PR. | ||

"After his uninspired performances against GGPlay and Stork, one might have thought that Flash was nothing but hype. I, for one, don’t think much of his late-game management—or even his mid-game management. But given Flash’s age and the fact that he just cruised into both Starleagues, he deserves a low slot in the Power Rank." - 2007/08 Amazing how things change. | ||

Well, there was a reason he was called the cheddar terran.... back in the day. | ||

Well stx did send out their star lineup (besides calm, but he was preparing for msl finals) hyuk shouldn't have gotten past hwasin, never mind an all-kill. But winning in the stx finals doesn't make him close to being worthy of effort's spot.

Close but no cigar has been used since fakesteve wrote the power rank and maybe even earlier. Don't just type out whatever comes to your mind and then press post. At least take the effort to pick out each choice that you disagree with and make a solid argument for why you think riptide is wrong. He won't change the rank for you, but he will take your arguments into consideration and reply. "the power rank is whack man there are so many players there that are undeserving of their current PR position" isn't really a great argument. | ||

For instance, amazingly enough Jangbi made a PR before Stork (not saying it was wrong for this to happen, just surprising), and some other things you wouldn't expect. | ||

Haha, yeah, I was just looking at that yesterday. Crazy how much that's changed. Now  Flash pretty much turns on God-mode if the opponent (or a factory rally point lolololololo) doesn't cripple him in the early/early-mid game. | ||

The only race that really dominates PR, outside of the six dragons/taekbang era, is Terran and that's because there's ALWAYS been a heavy number of good to great terrans. Hell I think Zerg is the most unrepresented. Except for very recently, the only Zergs who've been on the PRs were Jaedong and the Twins, and even the Twins weren't around very much. I think July made a couple guest appearances during his third OSL run. | ||
