Look at JD's stats, look at his play. It's #1 worthy, but Flash is just even better.

But saying JD is so behind Flash is just fanboyism.

Calm is definitely #3. That's what you deserve when you're a league champion and now in OSL ro4. Plus he went 9-1 this month, only losing a ZvZ to Hyun while beating Effort/Shine/Zero as well as Pure to make OSL.

After that it's really hard to say. I think you have to put the other OSL semifinalists as 4/5 - both guys beat very hard opponents in impressive fashion, especially Movie (but Shine has played better overall I think when including PL).

I don't think Kal or Hwasin's runs have been that impressive. Didn't Kwanro murder Kal in PL this month too? I find it funny nobody mentions Kwanro. But Kal has had a really good month overall.

And of course Bisu/Stork/Effort get spots because when you watch their games you can see their incredible skill. And they've been playing well aside from disappointing individual league performances.

So I'd say:

1. Flash
2. the DONG
3. Calm
4. Shine (losses this month are to Calm where he still qualified for OSL, Bisu in PL, and Stork but he still won the BO3 ... many good wins this month including Stork and fantasy)
5. Movie
6. Stork (literally one win away from being #3 ... but you can't lose that 3rd game, tough)
7. Kal
8/9 Bisu/Effort (partly depends on if Effort crushes Stork)
10. Kwanro

CBNC
- Zero (had a really rough month but he's still one of the best, put up a great fight against Flash after a bunch of tough ZvP losses)
- Light (beat hero but hasn't done much this month overall, didn't exactly look amazing in his games either)

As for Best? Literally all he did this month was win a PvT against a teammate, beat a rookie in PvT in PL, and get slaughtered by Stork


Including PL, Movie played better than Shine..., especially since he had to play PvZ (imba matchup )


I don't know man, I love Movie (my favorite P by far) but Shine's run has been insane. He has only lost to elite players this month, and his OSL run is one of the sickest ever for someone coming out of nowhere. Something about beating Bisu in RO36 seems to bring out the best in an out of nowhere Zerg (hi by.hero).

Also Shine had no embarrassing losses like Movie's game against Jaedong where he looked like he'd been up drinking all night celebrating his OSL win ... probably because he actually had been up drinking all night celebrating.

I just don't think Shine gets enough credit because of all the hate he's attracted. I love Movie and consider him the favorite against Shine (I will be rooting for Movie hard) but all things considered I think Shine is 4a and Movie is 4b.

I actually believe that big part of shine hate is caused by his looks; he is not likeable like bisu, cute like zero or fun like fbh. Combine with destroying peoples favourites, he is suddenly hated far to much. With time and with (possibly) continued good results hi reputation will probably begin to shine.

I don't agree. Watch what happened with Calm last month.

Shine has been playing more consistent, but I think Movie has more upside. You can say that Shine is 4a and Movie is 4b, but if you look at their records it's pretty similar.

As for who wins in the OSL Ro4. I think its 50/50 mainly because El Nino and HBR favors Zerg. If the maps were more balanced, I would favor Movie. But Movie, he wins against Zergs in Zerg favored maps, especially on HBR.

well Calm sure did vindicate keeping a PR rank last month. I guess it's Bisu's turn to justify not being wiped off the map? He's played far too well in PL to not rank higher than, for example, Sea, but definitely below his own standards.

#3 Bisu

Anti-fans are going to rage hard about this entry, but the truth is Bisu is clearly #3 on the scene at the moment. While certainly below Jaedong's standard in most matchups right now, he is still playing great Starcraft. Despite a loss to Luxury early on, Bisu delivered the results needed for SKT T1, and though now out of the OSL, is still by far one of the strongest contenders for a MSL title this season. Simply put, Bisu just didn't play enough this month to justify putting him lower. His games haven't been spectacular, sure, but remember, that's all relative. This guy is still one of progaming's most consistent performers, and it shows.

Bisu was given his 'benefit of the doubt' month this month. He should be lucky to get a low #9/10 spot in Jan.

Do you really want someone who got manner-CC'd by CuteAngel high on the PR?

I kinda miss Leta in this List.... There cannot be a Top-10 right now without him IMO.

Also, Fantasy should be placed higher and Stork too, if you look at this month... Sea shouldn't even be in the Top-10, because in every other League than the Proleague, he is insignificant. There are tons of Players that deserve to be in this List more than Sea, like Light, Kal, JangBi, the aforementoined Leta etc.

And yes; Bisu is clearly overrated atm. He lost games he should've never lost this month.

With (P)Stork's and (P)Movie's failure today there should be no discussion who the top3 are gonna be.

(T)Flash
(Z)Jaedong
(Z)Calm

Stork/Movie/Kal/Shine all deserve #4 imo.

The rest can be given to Effort, Hwasin, Kwanro...

I think the fact that (Z)Calm has won all his games in the OSL is significantly more important than a loss in PL. Even (T)Flash lost to (Z)HyuN this month in PL and no one is disputing that he's the #1 player by miles.

I'd say (Z)Calm's just slightly ahead of (P)Kal because he's played better quality opponents the Last month while having basically the same win:loss ratio.
