He might have been guaranteed to lose, but I think the point Stylish is trying to make is, as the best Zerg player in the world, Jaedong could've defended that attack better. And while other Zergs might have done better, this is Jaedong, and Jaedong is held to high standards as he is part of the Lee-Ssang-Taek-Bang quartet. And that's why I think it's fair that Bisu is out of PR too. Bisu is also held to extremely high standards being an S-class player. | ||

Jaedong opted to get a third before his muta. Its a mistake vs flashes build but not enough to drop him. game 2. this game cannot have anything to do with the PR. it was a 7rax, not 8. meaning marinecount will be +1 and an overlord lost. He could have tried something different that would make him look cool though. game 3. Basically this is what would decide the nr1 or 2 spot. If jaedong wouldn't have turned into flash, who is better than all. He would be in 2 leagues and have had a freakin good december month. Jaedong has shown and will show I'm right as he has always done. Just by watching his FPView from wcg i can determine he's better than stork lol. | ||

Of course the argument goes both ways, but I'm not talking about the start of a game, I'm talking about when Jaedong would be down 1 base to 2 and contained. The argument goes both ways, but it doesn't work both ways. | ||

In that case, shouldn't Shine be around 7th? He's delivered fantastically, but hasn't always looked pretty doing it. | ||

He played a terrible game, not worthy enough for #1 or #2. Stork's losses were a bit similar to game 1 too. Its just not enough to lower him on the pr ranking. FPVOD that jaedong is better? How? Is it because its faster? Thats because zerg tend to be faster than protosses. This is a norm. | ||

Stork just dropped out of both leagues and he is raised to nr 2 over jaedong from nr5 who would be in both leagues had he not faced flash and their skill is very similuar. Although I think jaedong is better. i don't see how this is defendable, stork bias. | ||

I'm very please that shine and movie are so high up, especially movie. His play lately, except against jaedong, has been very good lately. Hopefully he makes the finals.

I'm not saying Movie and Shine are bad, but I really don't expect them to sustain very much success. I don't have a very high opinion of Kwanro at all. I think he is, at best, a middling zerg. I still feel like Bisu is, by far, the best Protoss out there. I know there is something to be said about his early exits in the leagues, but it just feels wrong to leave him off the Power Rank. | ||
