this is more of "august PR reconsidered" than september PR.

if calm didnt move up one I'd tell you that you shoulda just not done a PR for september.

This ranking is completely filled with opinionated, ridiculous bullshit from a dude who clearly just coinflipped randomly to determine placement. Learn to watch games and analyze results without being a giant biased idiot fanboy please.

Jaedong at #1? Calm and Bisu in the Top 3?? Lack of GosI[Flying] from the Top 10!?!?

Seriously!??!

While I agree that Gosi[Flying] is well on his way to being the next bonjwa, surely you can't expect me to put him on the rank before he has at least two major individual league titles, right? I mean come on, Jaedong is on that list, and he has 4 titles. Simple math dictates that

4/2 = 2

So Gosi needs at least one OSL and one MSL title to be on the PR. Duh. This is after weighing Jaedong as the epitome of Starcraft atm of course, which though easy to do is not particularly sound in terms of statistics. If we go about this in a more sane way and take the top two rankers and do the math for them, Jaedong 4 + Calm 1 = 5. Then, Gosi's threshold too increases. He now has to win 2.5 titles, which for sanity's sake I will define as 1 MSL, 1 OSL and 1 GOM. Since GOM is now scrapped, Gosi can never realistically be placed on the Power Rank.

You seem to forget Hot_Bid, that all PR conclusions are arrived at via careful mathematics, and not pure conjecture as you allege. Sure, coins are involved (in fact, in order to maintain an equilibrium, we try and use coins representing at least 10 TL member currencies), but the process itself is very complex and has been passed down by word of mouth from Etter through Fakesteve and JWD to me.

This month was skippable, it wasn't worthy of new PR at all, but i feel Calm and Bisu are both better than Fantasy, the rank looks better to me now.

I generally agree with this month's power rank, but then there probably doesn't need to be one

Uh, nothing to disagree with cus of that few games played. But it was a nice (without much context) read, keep it up.

also, response to Hot_bid's flame was lulzy

Its nice to see that the PR are published on time now a days!
Also - could not agree more on the PR - its basically hard to not get it right for september
Bisu[about JD]=I was scared (laughs). The force emanating from his facial expression was so manly that I was even a little jealous.

With no games last month, this is about the simplest and least controversial power rank of all time. Spot on.

Yeah, I think this last power rank was very unecessary. I'm looking forward for the beginning of the new season with real matches and real power ranks.

FlaSh's game vs. SaviOr should bring him up at least one spot!

Heh, I didn't even realize there was a new PR at first; I just clicked on the power rank randomly today being bored and deciding to reread the PR.
