Power Rank does what numbers can't do and has a person to highlight the top 10 performers in a single individual month. If you're not performing as well as everyone else (like Kwanro and maybe Zero), why should you be on the list?

No you can't just turn that around and say that. Stork and Jaedong have been losing a small number of games where their gameplay has been less that stellar. I chose Flash on purpose to prove my point that losing a few badly played games against "average" players doesn't mean very much when pretty much every other game played by Flash, win or lose, displays his insane skill level.

I never said Baby deserved #2 because I really don't care about how the power rank is ordered. But to simply say that Baby needs to prove himself in order to get a high ranking when he's played sick, sick games in general and pretty much manhandled Stork and Jaedong twice is just confusing to me. Seriously the "This player still needs to prove..." arguments are stupid (remember when everyone said Flash needed to prove his 10+ TvZ win streak where every single game was a rape?) - if he can't keep that level of play over time, just kick the player off the Power Rank.

I thought the power rank was made to measure, and thus rank, the level of play presented by active progamers every month? Baby is still in both individual leagues by going 2-0 in MSL Ro32, going 4-1 in the OSL Ro32, is currently 1-0 in the OSL Ro16, and has presented generally good skill in proleague this month and last month. What more does he have to prove?
