As I have heard some of the admins describe it, this ranking is more weighted towards the relative change in the players performance as well as big events and other high interest games then raw performance. If so, coming from a team whose star has been discredited and whose team cast into ignominy ,coming back from a 0-2 deficit against one of the (if not the) best players in the world, playing on unfavorable maps and in the statistically most imbalanced and unfair match-up, and winning the most prestigious starleague for the first time in the players career, would almost have to be enough to catapult any player to the number 1 spot, even if that player was not the most technically skilled. I am not an effort fan, just trying to throw out a semi-unbiased opinion. LOL WUT? Post count + post content => troll? | ||

Snow will clash against Fantasy, who is a real nightmare for any Protoss. This is a real test for him, as hard as his win against Flash (no blind fanboyism here :D). Fantasy is the type of agresive Terran, who will turn all small oponent's mistakes into a catastophe. If Snow pass this test, I think he could be another true terran killer. | ||

But when I look at how many protoss struggle vs terran even if they were able to fully abuse 12nex and then there is Snow who always goes gateway first and -almost- literally crush his terran opponents I feel like I see a combination of Bisu's micro and Stork's decision making. Hell, Snow currently even has the highest PvT Elo. | ||

Actually if you look back at some of the old power ranks, thats not too far off the bat. Although I guess many people would prefer a Size_of_Fan_Club Rank these days | ||

Watch his games from this most-recent OSL. Then watch Nada’s. Then come back here and tell me, with a straight face, that Nada played better. <i>Hint: he didn’t.</i> Same difference, past ranks weren't dictated entirely by who won from a purely statistical standpoint. Same as nowadays. | ||

Effort scouted 14CC and chose a ling allin rush. Jaedong scouted the same and did a hydra all in push. Effort managed to win because flash's buildings were placed bad, something that flash fixed in his game vs Jaedong, and Jaedongs all in ALMOST worked aswell. It was really close. So thats one game, can you really compare the two players from that game and tell Effort is better at adapting than Jaedong? No you can't and thats what I'm trying to say. | ||

Stop treating it like an objective list. That means post your opinions and defend them. Question other's opinions. But please stop acting like there's one answer that we all need to agree on. On June 13 2009 05:49 JWD wrote: That makes total sense, and it gets at a really simple point about my PR philosophy: the rank should be based on both "who is better right now (i.e. who would win an ideal Bo5)" and "who was most impressive over the last month". Even if Bisu may still be a slight favorite in a hypothetical Bo5, Effort has earned his #1 spot by simply posting better results recently. Now perhaps you actually see where this argument comes from yes? | ||
