Jaedong hasn't lost anything recently outside of being 3-0'd whereas Flash just went on a 10 game 50% streak. 52% over 21 games, but yeah. It's just as much a measure of consistency though. You don't ever need to get a long streak to get a really high ELO, you just need an extended period of consistently good results. Before April Flash got to 2430 or something along those lines without ever getting more than 7 wins in a row outside of his initial 10 game streak in October. | ||

Flash IS a genius, he has best televised streaks of wins vs protoss, zergs (oov is just similiar) and terrans and it couldn't be done without word genius, and if You talk about revolutionizing You could tell the same thing about Bisu and fantasy if You trolled in Your heart really hard.. lol. | ||

It's just a matter of time before Flash reinvents his TvT, though. He's gone through way tougher stretches than this and every single time in the past one of his matchups looked weak, a month or two later he was unstoppable at it. | ||

Only 3hatch before pool matches it in eco, which he did do one game and lost although I think that particular one could have gone either way. We saw in the previous MSL that on an even level with 3 hatch before pool he did manage to beat him. Also about Flash losing games that don't matter, when did that ever come into it with the power rank? You can tell by the games Flash is hardly holding back because of the league situation, it's irrelevant to the individual performance. | ||

A predicament caused by, to his own admission, a lack of practice. As for his recent game versus Really, well that's another story... | ||

Beat Dong 3-0, but has been playing poorly this month, going ~50% and losing horribly in Ace matches. One could argue that, based on current performance, does not deserve to be #1. 2nd Point of View: Dong has been on a hotstreak in PL, and in all non-Flash related games. However, got walloped 3-0 in a SL final, and therefore loses his legitimacy to #1, due to losing a bo5 convincingly, recently (although not in the concurrent month) to his strongest rival. Depends on the point of view for the argument presented: Do you consider outside the timeframe presented, or do you exclusively consider the shortest possible timeframe (1 month) for the current PR? For the record, and this is complete conjecture on my part, if Dong hadn't lost 3-0, there wouldn't be a serious problem crowning him #1 for the upcoming month. | ||

You can hardly blame the loss vs Skyhigh as a lack of practice too. Skyhigh even had to prepare for two maps in that game. Flash was able to solely concentrate on the ace match. | ||

You can tell by the games Flash is hardly holding back because of the league situation, it's irrelevant to the individual performance. Of course how important the games are matter. If you go 2-6 in proleague but dominate both a starleague's final and semifinal 6-0, you look waaaaaay better than someone who goes 8-0 in proleague, barely scrapes into the final, and then gets dominated in a final 3-0 even though your record is strictly 'better.' This is of course ignoring play quality in the games itself, which is by far the most important factor.

One could argue that, based on current performance, does not deserve to be #1. Flash isn't "losing horribly." His 50% record in the last two weeks is ass, but his play is anything but. People have figured him out and he's no longer invincible, but that doesn't mean he's a worse player than he was before. It just means his play needs refreshing. | ||
