There's lots of people in this thread who disagree with me, that one just seemed so ridiculous that it seemed like it was only written to provoke someone.

Also that post was from the guy who made this thread.
So please dont assume I'm one of those idiots who use the word troll whenever they see something they dont like.

I appreciate these power ranks, but they many times don't make any sort of consistent sense. Like, fantasy was 5 last month, and then doesn't have very many games at all this last month, but is still in both leagues, and people above him don't perform well...and he drops out entirely.

Baby is literally the only person who deserved his rank, the reason he didn't get higher is that he could just be another hyuk or shine. However, his play indicates otherwise but we'll have to wait and see.

No one else deserved what they got this month - people saying sea doesn't deserve #3 are completely justified in saying that. The issue is no one stepped up and said "oh hey I deserve #3" instead they dropped games and fell out of leagues. Sea and Light got their ranks through everyone else simultaneously sucking. I would be far happier if this rank was just 10 Flashes because thats the only ranking that can be justified.

actually from TaekBangLeeSsang, Jaedong is the one to drop the most to the OSL prelims (it took Bisu 4 years to return to the qualifiers for example). Its that he is winning the whole thing everytime he makes it to the Ro8

I feel like the Jaedong/Flash relationship is starting to in some respects mirror July/iloveoov.

July was actually the player for whom the term bonjwa was originally coined (by his fans, of course), but ultimately the bonjwas got recognized as Boxer, NaDa, Oov, Savior. Over a 6 season period, July appeared in the OSL finals 4 times and had strong showings even when he didn't make it that far. Ultimately, Oov was just more "unbeatable."

so beating flash once in a bo1 puts you on powerrank these days?

I loved reading your Flash description, completely agree.
Flash is undeniably the greatest player of all time.

(i'm not using the B-word here so don't get all riled up, I know how some of you are.)

I know JD fans would hate this but personally I think Baby deserves to be above JD, considering how Baby beat JD 3 TIMES IN A ROW. I mean, can ANYONE claim to have a feat like that, apart from, maybe, Flash? Also, he is in stellar form in the individual leagues. As much as I don't like seeing a name like "Baby" high in the progaming world, that little adolescent teen has skills... I wonder how he compares to the original child prodigy Flash?

I was hoping Hwasin would be on the CNBC, at the very least. I know it's absolutely nothing new that Hwasin makes the Ro16, but goddamn, it's his 10th consecutive time, he 2-0'd his group. I'd say the only two reliable things right now are the Red Sniper advancing to the Ro16, and Flash winning...

This isn't actually true, JD 2-1 him in WCG to win 10k; it's just not in TLPD
