But, even with good play, I don't think a guy who spent the second half of the month going 4-8 and flopping in proleague, out of OSL and MSL, should honestly be above Calm. His play was pretty good! But a lot of it was really bad -- all of his proleague losses, including a loss to, dun dun dun, Calm! Switch those two and I'd be happy with the PR. Flash-stork-JD I can handle pretty well if you favor the maps Stork had to play on a lot. | ||

Jaedong won't be knocked off number one until at least one of his OSLs rotates out. Unless I am mistaken that won't be this month. | ||

Also Bisu was one-click away from MSL Ro16. but this is only a top10.... | ||

Stork wins one PvT and that gives him a free pass? Even though it was against Flash, and even though it was his only PvT of the month, it's hardly enough for #2. Also I don't think Calm has done anything to deserve dropping to #9. He's been pretty strong and just happened to run into Flash. | ||

Comparing losses tells you relatively little - in the end, they still lost. Compare wins to decide who is the best and compare losses to decide who is the worst. | ||

---> MVP, Zero (x2), Pure, Yellow, TheZerg, Firefist, Pusan Anyway, your analysis of Calm is quite cynical. It seems you're holding his last month's slump against so much, that you're now unimpressed when he wins at all. If you want to fault Calm for games one and four vs Flash, then by your standards, Jaedong should have plummeted as well, because he was just awful vs Flash. | ||

Although Jaedong's ZvT does worry me a bit, I think I can explain Jaedong's mindset during his losses. (Hypotheses incoming) Flash 1 - Jaedong's persistence to lay down that third hatchery might have been because he was trying to feel out Flash's response to it. Hyun won with it, so Jaedong tried it. Flash simply learned his lesson from before and poor Jaedong failed horribly with his experiment. His control overall was really bad too which I think I can atrribute to (gasp) intimidation. Flash 2 - I'm pretty sure Jaedong has settled down and had a cute strategy in mind much like Calm's on HBR. It would've worked too had Flash not made the most well-planned cheesed I've ever seen not done by Nal_ra. Sea - He's trying to see if he can stop an early Terran push with just lings so he doesn't have to put himself behind economically from making Sunks. It was another experiment, most likely done for when he meets Flash and his imba ZvT again. I mean, giving Flash any form of economic advantage in TvZ is basically handing him the win and Sea obviously makes for the best Flash dummy at the moment. Jaedong failed though, sad. Also, notice how good and Flash-esque Hiya's ZvT was in the Hwaseung's series versus eStro. Clearly somebody's practicing ZvFlash in Hwaseung House, and I bet it isn't Killer. EDIT: Looking at the rank again, Calm deserves higher. He hasn't looked very solid but he did manage to put up some respectable results. | ||

It's better than losing the game. Surely that's a pretty basic choice. He was at a disadvantage. He could pretend he wasn't, try and execute a normal counter, fail and lose or he could accept his disadvantage and try and recover later. These situations can be recovered with clutch play anyway. + Show Spoiler + So, Calm was in a even better position than Jaedong-No lost overlord, had high ground. Are you still defending going 1 base? | ||
