I'd put him above JD even considering the WCG loss. | ||

Can you explain this a little to clear it up? They both look terrific in their games, and as you mentioned, Jaedong beat him in a BO3. | ||

Clearly the Koreans don`t care that much about it, last year they where drinking the night before the finals etc. So I don`t know how much we should put into these event wins, I mean they probably don`t even practice for it and just wing it along the way. | ||

Jaedong is 7 - 3 last 10 matches while stork is 9 - 1. | ||

Sure the PR is released monthly, but that doesn't mean it has to limit its scope to the last month of gaming. In fact, historically strong players are often given the benefit of the doubt even when they haven't done much in the last month. | ||

You can talk about it, and argue about it, but at the end of the day, the PR stands. | ||

Even if it did not matter, it still provides a good tiebreak considering how close the two are otherwise, but Stork still has PL and OSL left, so we'll see. yo stop smoking weed. stork is 9 - 1 in october. | ||

But Stork has otherwise performed flawlessly for a while now. Whereas Jaedong has had bumps on the road. Besides, Stork #2 is just the way things should work. | ||

I don't neccessarily think it would be wrong to still have JD above Stork considering the fact that he won their Bo3, but I just feel that Stork is overall stronger at the moment. 10 game winning streak FTW! Well Jaedong hasn't played much games against terrans so is hard to say . He is unbeatable against protoss , his ZvZ has been shaky and his ZvT hasn't been tested with only a rape against Miracle . | ||
