EPTPlexa has to decide how much that should weigh against him.
I don't mind JD getting the #1 spot. Not sure about the other contenders being ranked above Flash though.

The case can even be made for Effort > Flash, although that's more far-fetched. | ||

Speaking of Flash he looked very vulnerable. Hard to imagine him getting #1 with that performance. JvP and JvZ looking as unstoppable as ever. | ||

Can't really see Flash at #1 still when Jaedong is looking so much more dominant. His only loss was Yellow getting 9 pool speed vs 12 hatch, which he even survived to take it into late game epic hive tech ZvZ. | ||

Fantasy's results in last 2 month: Wins over Puma, Brave (x2), Grape (x2), Effort, Calm, Hiya Loses to SoulKey, Snow, Effort, Jaedong, Flash Other 6 wins over Light, Roro, Yellow, Action (x2), Flash worth special mention as their average duration is 8:20 with Yellow game being the longest - a whooping 12 minutes. In last OSL he's been kicked out by Pure 0:2 and In Hana MSL he's lost to Calm 1:2 with only win being 12 minutes wraith shenanigans. Such an exceptional performance! Clearly the best Terran out there~ | ||

JD seems to be on a rampage. No hesitation in his play at all and he did not give his opponents any window to exploit him. Effort is in an odd situation. I still don't think he can contend with JD in a Bo5/7 but his mind games seem to be working well against Flash. | ||

Still, he lost less games in the last 2 months than Flash THIS SINGLE month.

Second, it doesnt change the fact that lately he wins a lot and Flash loses a lot. Anyway I think Flash still should stay at #2 . One more month with such an average performance, and he's getting down, no excuses. | ||

And good thing you brought up that win against Pure in group stage. It reminds that this has been his only win at group stages. And that doesn't even matter since Flash 3:0 Pure later on anyway. | ||

All of Flash's losses in June were basically still excellent games so give him the benefit of the doubt here instead of crying "slump!". If he keeps underachieving he will drop a few spots in the PR inevitably, I don't know why people are so keen on dethroning him as quick as possible. I remember quite a few occasions of players keeping their #1 spot although others had performed better in proleague that month. | ||

Yeah, and honestly, after watching the MSL games in addition to every game they've played in June, it's really not that hard a decision to make, though I can see the dilemma. | ||

Furthermore he didn't play badly at all. None of his losses in June were terrible or thrown away games etc. One indicator for that fact is that all his losses were recommended games in the live report threads, and I doubt that's because he has so many anti-fans that like to see him lose.

Because of all the times when JD was dropped because he "only" went like 9-5 for a month and was put below Zero? | ||
