Look at it from a non-biased way. If Flash is really rolling people so hard left and right then isn't JD's MSL win that much more impressive? How many people gave JD a shot at winning the series? All the progamers picked Flash and all the commentators picked Flash (lolol kim carrier). How many people here had Flash winning 3-0 or 3-1? Yet JD goes and 3-1's Flash and even had a significant advantage in the game he ended up losing. Flash revolutionary tvz being either 1 rax CC or 7/8 rax bunker rush? Meanwhile JD has not played a really standard opening in the last month. He toyed with pool first builds again where everybody is going 12hat, and had the balls to go 3hat pool twice in a row vs Flash. The same Flash who bunker rushes atleast once in a series. | ||

despite that, I don't think  HiyA should be so high really. Uhhh, FBH has been doing good, but I don't think he should be #8 exactly either. Leta is good, although I could see him a notch lower. Same with kwanro. Agree with flash and JD. Agree with really. I don't think stork should get -7 at all, but with some of the other players having done so well in the current top 10 I can't really blame you for having to put him beneath some of them. | ||

Flash's wins are so unfair all he does is cheese or turtle, he is a cheese turtle. All of Flash's losses are because he is so bad. If Flash were so good he would have won both leagues but he didn't so he is bad, even if he had won it would have been unfair and not count. | ||

Super disappointed in Bisu, what's happening to him, doesn't matter I'll still support him anyway. Hope he gets back into the rankings soon. | ||

Flash if my favourite player but JD deserves to be #1 for now. Somehow I doubt that Flash is your favourite player. You obviously haven't watched or followed any of his games during January. | ||

I said JD would 3-0 or 3-1 easily. Well, you can say Flash is better, it doesn't change the fact that JD might drop a random PL game here and there, maybe lose a Bo3 every now and then, but when it comes to Bo5 Jaedong is still the CLEAR favorite against every single player in the world. Yep, clear favorite even over Flash, in a Bo5. And in my opinion, Bo5 ability truly defines a progamer. Stare at the ELO losses from random PL matches all you want, JD is still not going to lose a Bo5 anytime soon.

Did you forget JD vs Kal, for instance? Gues Flash was a better noob-basher this month, but what does that really matter? Nothing.

R u for rela? First of all, boxer and Nada would get humiliated by Jaedong. Second, last month Flash was 17-7, dropping games to Movie, Calm, Really and Jaedong. People can keep saying that Flash won the OSL all they want. Of course they are right, but it was against Movie, and the series that made Flash win the OSL(vs JD) Flash played in december. Still, he actually managed to drop a game to Movie whereas Jaedong beat a much better Protoss 3-0. In addition to that, Jaedong actually beat Flash in the MSL finals. Yes, you can keep talking about the random PL game JD lost(which he lost only because he got his consume too late, but we can even ignore the fact..), the fact is that Jaedong still annihialated Flash when it mattered. In addition to those 2 games he lost to Flash, he lost to Crazy-Hydra. I guess that's a pretty bad loss, but I guess I'd argue that it still is ZvZ. Even with that, Jaedong was 11-3, having a far superior win percentage last month than Flash, in addition to beating him in a Bo5. Even if you might have valid arguments for having Flash be at #1, it definitely isn't "crazy" or anything to say that Jaedong should have been #1. At all. In fact, I believe every single one of your arguments are terrible. Obsessed with Jaedong? Hell yes! So what? | ||

Kind of an elaborate troll but you get my point. You can't declare one type of gameplay the only important kind, especially when it's the kind of gameplay you play the LEAST of. It's more impressive when it happens, but it's so subjective and it's kind of disingenuous towards their aggregate games and the fact that the only reason the OSL didn't affect Jaedong this month is because Jaedong got kicked out of the OSL by Flash. MSL isn't all important, at best it's as important as the OSL and PL, where Flash is better. =\ I know it's easy to write off what I say off as bias, but there's more to the PR than who beat who -- context is very important. | ||

Well, the decisive games of the individual leagues are Bo5. Also, it is pretty well-known that having more games in a series reduces the amount of luck and variability and allows the best player to win. If you disagree, you don't know much and are merely twisting facts for your own purposes. I believe Jaedong is a favorite vs every single progamer in a Bo3 as well, just not guaranteed to win like he is in a Bo5. Bo1's I don't really know how much they matter in the end. It's not about who beat who, JD just actually played better. EDIT: Let's say you have a solid, tight-aggressive poker player and a super-aggressive poker player. The tight-aggressive player might win against every single weak table and solidly gain profit whereas the super-aggressive player might at times lose even large amounts of money to weaker players. Even so, the super-aggressive player would yearly make significantly more money. Would you say that the tight-aggressive player is the better player? | ||

edit: and frankly Flash was playing just fine in that series, and you'd be dumb to think otherwise. Game 2 was amazing and game 3 was great from both until the power outage. Game 1 and 4 were one sided, but that seemed a bit build order impaired, just like Flash's win on HBR in the OSL. | ||

When Jaedong lost to Calm, he was also in the same month playing in the OSL and Proleague finals. He won the golden mouse in that month, and there was no way Calm was going to be placed over Jaedong. In fact, Calm wasn't even 2nd - fantasy was (for his PL Finals heroics). That was a much, much harder month to make a decision in. This one seems tame by comparison. As for bo3 vs bo5, it should be beyond obvious which is a better indicator of skill. They don't play bo5 in the semis and finals just so the fans get to see more games, you know. The fact you're even attempting to argue otherwise is telling of your bias. I mean, you're making even the #1 Jaedong anti-fan himself - Plexa - look reasonable here. | ||

He was the better player in every game, and would have won G2 too if he had left 2 guardians home. Doesn't matter, since I watched the games. Also, I trust my B rank friend Solum on JD having absolutely no chance of losing G3, he tends to know his stuff. | ||

See where the distinction here is? PL Finals is of course more important than regular PL, but Flash still won his games.

And "Jaedong would've won Game 2 if--" means nothing. He didn't win game 2, just like Flash didn't win game 1 or 4. No one won game 3 and your B rank friend is not a high level analyst. And frankly that comment is anecdotal garbage. A lot more people who are a lot smarter have commented on whether or not Flash was still in that game and I'd be quicker to agree with Kwark or Idra (Who disagree) then a faceless, pointless friend of yours. | ||
