Cuz Flash had much less time to prepare for his MSL match than Jaedong (OSL is more important, after all). Plexa's just saying Flash has a better chance of winning with equal preparation. | ||

One issue I have, while not concerning the PR, is how on earth can you consider Best game vs FBH to be better played than Bisu`s? Best got a nice build order with a slight advantage and fails horribly losing 3 goons vs mines in their first battle which again leads to him take more damage than he should which again leads to him not having enough to stop the 6fac push coming. While Bisu did 1 mistake in his game letting the scouting SCV of FBH in to see him do expo 2gate robo which turned the game into a virtually impossible build order deficit to overcome when he double expod vs a 5fac no ebay scv cut push. Still Bisu almost did the impossible when he almost held it off, despite being badly outnumbered in units he manage to defuse all mines except one (that he barely defused by picking up the goon as it was about to blow up on before it reburrowed ant popped up again to detonate). This showed some insane micro by Bisu in a terrible position, but still you rate Bests failure above that? This shows me once again how you are lacking a lot of understanding about what happens in games you are watching, just like when you commented on a lot of Calms game last month. I guess this is me hoping for Fakesteve to return as the PR writer :p | ||

I believe Movie deserves a LOT more credit though, while Really seems too high right now. | ||

I really like the Power Outage on #3. It feels very appropriate. | ||

How am I supposed to believe that Kwanro is actually better than Stork?? | ||

I totally agree with putting Power Outage as #3, both as a joke and as a symbolic way to show how much better Flash and JD are compared to everyone else. It's also cool to finally see Really get some recogniton for his fantastic play. There are some things about the PR that I find a little weird at the first sight though, such as Stork's position. FBH has been awesome and I love the fact that he's on the PR again, but 2 days of great play and all of a sudden he's ahead of the Samsung ace player? | ||

A few months ago "results are the only thing that matters in esports" Now "Stork's games were terrible etc etc even though he won he isn't worthy of my PR". | ||

Well this just seems to be because it's not the same person who writes the power rank every month. | ||

jaedong is better imo, but ofc, people have different opinions and flash got one gold and a silver, so he deserves it. I'd put stork at 4, he is the only one near Jaedong and Flash and he is saving KHAN when FBH loses. | ||

I don't mind Stork's placement if all other placements place heavy emphasis on this month's play(such as FBH coming out of nowhere for #8 and Really at #4). Personally, as long as the ranking is consistent with a certain set of standard, I'm fine. And if the emphasis is heavy for this month, then Stork's rank seems appropriate. Other Stork fans look at the example set. I do agree with your statement as well. As long as the standard is the same from month to month. Im sure Bisu fans will find something to cry about as well. | ||

Though i'm a huge Jaedong fan (I know you aren't), I can't really fault putting him behind Flash. Flash dominated everybody for the entire month, before just being pipped out by Jaedong. To be honest, I'd pick Jaedong over Flash in a Bo5 any time, but if you had to pick somebody to win a game of starcraft to save your life... I doubt any of us would go past Flash. | ||

I applaud you for listing HiyA in the PR because he really does deserve more recognition that he gets. Let's just hope he can bring his TvT and TvZ up to par. I was also struck by how horrible Movie's performance was post-OSL...it's almost like the kid lost his will to play and hadn't showered or eaten for days. Hopefully he can pull his weight next month. One thing I do disagree with is the placement of FBH on the PR but no Guemchi? Guemchi has a better record in WL yet FBH secures #8 for his performance in WL alone and Guemchi is nowhere to be found??? | ||
