I disagree tih fantasy dropping so hard when he had a much better month than calm. better record even beating calm in a effectively a best of 3. should Sea be over him this month YES should calm be over him this month.....NO. Calm is simply ranked to high for going 2-5.

the only reason he is even on the PR is pure bias "Calm is a great player".

Everything else is fine though.

Hmmm, one thing that strikes me as a bit weird when I think about it is how low Fanasy is. I hate him and all, but he raped Calm in OSL and then also beat him in their ace game, so seeing Calm above Fantasy is a tad confusing. The loss to Flash is completely ignorable, because that would happen to every other T in the world.

I agree 100% with the top 3.

My biggest disagreement is putting Calm above Sea and Fantasy. Calm could have even gone down to CBNC and let someone like Kal or Best or Shine have #10.

Alright PR but I am irked by a few things
Bisu really didnt deserve to be at no3 or jump up to it, its true that he didnt get much chance to prove himself but Zero/Effort did and are playing well and are in both leagues right now + going by that same criteria you used for Bisu, Fantasy shouldnt have even dropped 3 spots randomly after a strong month( loss to Flash + loss while 2-1ing calm where it mattered while showing strong play as usual) infact he should be higher considering after going 1up vs Calm he looks in decent shape to qualify out of the group.

Calm should be 9-10 at best, his performance has been mediocre, a 2-6 record even against decent opposition is not worthy of being in PR on basis of previous performances alone, and even if it was based on such I believe he wont get much chances to prove it in the following months considering being down 0-1 in his OSL group and having 2 ZvZs(which is becoming quite a even mu these days) making his qualification a toss up and lowers his chances of qualifying by a lot. His play and decision making in his games vs Fantasy/Best were abysmal and he failed to show a strong late game with complete control(other than him rolling mediocre tosses like Backho/Rock around).

Best should have been on the PR, strong 2-0 opening in the MSL + strong PL performance + showing that he is picking his PvZ back up from being the worst in the business, a complimentary 10th spot would do I would suppose, and unlike Kwanro who showed really terrible ZvT vs Ruby and gimmicky greed vs Flash, best has looked solid in the 2 mus he got to play this month. Violet shouldve gotten CNBC too I suppose, if Sea acquired a rank based on PL performance only which Violet is 6-0 at PL with really strong play(especially in the late game even in all of his games) even in his recent losses he looked really strong.

Overall due to scanty results this month it was kind of difficult to place the 3-10 positions and this is an adequate PR I suppose.

P.S: I really didnt like the usage of circular reasoning within the PR (between JD and Bisu) itself and I hope you try to refrain from using that in the next PRs considering the sketchiness of Bisu's position in the first place

I'm actually a Fantasy anti-fan (it gives me warm tinglies when he loses), but I think he should be a bit higher here...I would have switched Calm and Fantasy's positions if it were me.

The rest of it looks alright. I would have put BeSt at #10 and not Kwanro, but that might be bias seeing as how Kwanro got rolled so easily by Flash.

Stork...I'm so sad for him. When I woke up and saw Stork at #5, I knew his PL game must have gone badly, but I didn't expect him to go 0-2 in one PL set.

dont understand why fantasy dropped so hard

he improved his bio play, had one loss to flash and his 2nd loss was to calm where he redeemed himself in the ace match

Riptide did you watch the same month of starcraft I did?

A 5-3 (Z)Kwanro who's best win came against Movie gets the #10 spot over (T)Really who went 6-1 and beat Sea and Ruby (the latter having defeated Kwanro)?

And (T)fantasy dropping all the way to #9 for going 4-2 with one loss against FvT, and with a dominant win over (Z)Calm? Meanwhile Calm who's looking absolutely terrible falls only to 7th? Watching their series can you honestly say that Calm is playing better, or better in general than Fantasy?

Even more confusing, you cite poor strength of schedule as reasons why (Z)EffOrt, (dude, Light is a way better player than you give him credit for) (Z)ZerO, and Fantasy are all lower than expected. Yet you promoted (P)Bisu to #3 despite him playing only four games in the month, with only one win against a strong player- by.hero. Perhaps Bisu didn't play enough games to justify putting him lower, but you put him higher...

I'm so confused with the rational of half of the rank here.

Well, I could see Kwanro over Really because he's in both individual leagues compared to Really's...none.

I don't see Fantasy below Calm, Calm played bad bad bad.

And your third point, I think he just chalks that up to the fact that Bisu could play better, he just didn't get the chance this month-he hasn't played in individuals yet. I agree with your third point, I'm just saying riptide isn't irrational with his choices.

Bisu is way too high. I'd put him under Stork. The only reason I'd have him there is if he was in that position on the last rank, but instead he gets moved up???

fantasy should be higher; calm should be lower. Best on top ten and scratch Kwrano, and the rest are agreeable.

Whoa, WHOA, surely I'm not the only one shocked by Fantasy's placement? He

a) destroyed Hoejja, wasn't even close [W]
b) lost to Flash in TvT, but who doesn't [L]
c) beat Baby (didn't see that game) [W]
d) embarrassed Calm in the OSL [W]
e) lost a game to Calm in PL but didn't play badly at all [L]
f) walked all over Calm again in a lategame TvZ with sick micro and good multitask [W]

Basically, all month I haven't seen him play a bad game; he's 2-2 against other PR players; 2-0 against non-PR players; his bio vs Z has never looked better; and you say he's slipping? I just don't understand where you're coming from.

(edit: yeah I'm not the only one, and I got ninja'd hard)
May the BeSt man win.
