This PR hasn't been proofread well.

I agree with most of the points though.

I dont think the FvJ-ACE match should be an argument for placing Flash ahead of Jeadong! I agree with Flash at #1, but this argument is just poor this way. It should be the otherway around - jeadong fooling his win away keeps him below Flash, but not Flash winning this game keeps him ahead.
And its clear to me that Jeadong should have been at #1, if he had not blundered that game. Thus I would go with betting on Jaedong in another Bo5 vs Flash.

So I am ok with Flash at #1, but dont like the FvJ-ACE interpretation.
For the swarm!

You do not deserve to be above someone just because you beat them in a Bo5. There's a lot more to it than that. Clam wasn't ranked above JD when he trashed him, Iris wasn't ranked above Bisu etc. Flash at #1 is 100% correct because he accomplished more this season. I still think JD is just as good as Flash though.

Agreed, and everyone fucking needs to understand how smashed flash would feel in game 4.
Some poeple in TL.net is gonna say that since he is a professional, he needs to get his shit together. Well guys, I ain't gonna specialize from Korea. But that hit Flash hard obviously. That's what fucking matters. Noone would be unaffected, if all their support was expelled from the audience. Then come ahead and say that he's a whoss when he can't play to his best without results.
If I were into mr Lee Young Ho's head, I would have feeled excited, happy and soo glad that his family took their time to travel all the way to Seoul. He said this before that he is shocked on how they come to support him.
Then imagine what it'd be like for him to suddenly have them expelled from the audience. If I were him I'd sure the hell panick.
+ Show Spoiler +
To wrap it up; Flash was mentally BROKEN game 4. He tried to act sportslike because he and Jaedong are good friends. He doesn't want to ruin their friendship or make it any more awkward than nessescary

It's not as if Flash losing to Jaedong in a bo5 is groundbreaking. This is the same kind of argument Jaedong has had to fight against in the past. He loses the bo3, wins the bo5, and somehow it's rationalized that Flash is the better player in the end. This time we have the interesting little power outage twist to further blow smoke on things.

The rest of the PR this month seems to be taking the idea that it should have more focus on the players who were most active in the month... and running wild with it. I'm not sure this is the right strategy to go with during the WL part of the season.

Haha. Reading responses to the power rank is always amazing - other people's passion for certain players completely outdoes my own ._.

Glad to see Flash and Jaedong where they should be - at the top with a notable gap
Glad to see Leta on the PR just in general, his consistency vs A class is something I admire, completely ignoring any claims about his lack of S class consistency - makes me feel as though he should be mid to low ranks on the PR -every month-, as long as he keeps such consistency up.

Too bad that Stork fell so far - but Stork was placed above Jaedong last month, so I guess us Stork fans should be able to deal with the low ranking for the month? Stork's play definitely wasn't as good as last month's anyways ._. Hopefully next month~

Anyways, an enjoyable read as always! Too bad PR's don't come out more often
I have nothing to put here. Obzy#1821 on Bnet.

LOL are you kidding me? Really has deserved a spot on the PR since the start of the PL season.

I can kind of agree with FBH's appearance on here over Guemchi, which has absolutely NO basis though.

Well, it does. Guemchi 2-0 over Ace, not as good as 3-1 against eSTRO imo. Furthermore, Guemchi only really exploded towards the end whereas FBH played strong against Flash at the start of the month and then the results followed after. FBH played better over the whole month, Guemchi played better right at the end.

Stork might be a bit too low, but I can't complain. He lost to hiya. =(

The only other players to come close are Savior, and Nada again during IOPS OSL/YATGK MSL

What about Jaedong winning OSL and losing in semis in MSL recently?

Leta feels too high at 5 but after Kal there aren't any players who have done enough to show up on a power rank in an average month.

FBH being on there is about as ridiculous as Calm not being on there. 2 good days in Winner's League should not get you on the power rank.

imo

1. Flash
2. Jaedong
3. Really
4-6. Leta, Kal, Hiya
7-10. Stork, Kwanro, Calm, ???

I do agree with Flash at #1 and Jaedong at #2 (those two are monsters right now, Flash a little more so and that's coming from a giant Jaedong fanboy). But the rest of the ranking is just terrible. Obvious Terran bias for a start. 5/9 Terrans in the PR when Terrans have been getting destroyed all over the place and we haven't seen more than 2-3 in the PR for months? Good grief. Hiya/FBH maybe could have shown up in CBNC but don't deserve PR spots and Really/Leta should have low ranks somewhere. I really hate these ultra dynamic PRs where you just know half or more of the players will be off the rank next months and replaced with whoever happens to be on a hot streak right now.

All that said though, I'm a strong believer that whoever writes the PR makes the rules and if they want to draw names out of a hat to make the ranking then so be it (I'm not saying that this is what happened here).

What you believe will happen doesn't matter.

The #2 player on your rank BEAT the #1 player on the list in the most important situation. JD should be ranked first.


This is complete BS. There have been plenty of times where the loser of the Bo5 was ranked above the winner. Jaedong vs Calm anyone?

So much Kwanro hate. Ya'll really don't like the fact that he's probably the 3rd best zerg in the world right now when it comes to results do you?

He lost to Flash. So has everyone else in this game except JD (who is still hit-or-miss against Flash himself).

Kwanro probably deserves to be higher than he currently is. Stop trying to piss away his play simply because you get rolled by people like him on iCCup and dislike it. His 3-0 rout of Light was brilliant, he has taken ace duties away from Zero recently, and has proven he is strong in every matchup in both short and long games.
If at first you do not succeed, burn everything and pretend it never happened.
