1. EffOrt 2. Snow 3. sKyHigh 4. Movie 5. Hydra 6. Iris 7. Nal_rA 8. Flash 9. Jaedong 10. Bisu + Show Spoiler + lol jk but i wish.. Anyways, I think the PR is ideal because of Effort and Snow. Kal dropping makes me happy though he did push his team the most. Midas disappointed us all this month. BaBy is WeMade's Ace and dropped very few games. Shine? i didnt really check his stats but he has been winning. Fantasy on the PL is sorta.. eh.. he is the only non Z on SKT to be pulling his weight. edit: holy fuck at Shine. i didnt know he had that great of a month. 4-0??? i didnt expect that but maybe he had the same mental clearance as effort did in the 7 hour long tie breaker | ||

While Baby had a decent May I really don't think he's that great of a player, or atleast that he's good enough to beat JD in a boX. Yeah he won one time in a bo3, but he didn't beat JD on great barrier reef, the map beat JD. 4th is a tad bit too high IMO. Lets first look at snow. "Nevertheless, with a super strong PvT and PvP" what?! Snow is good PvT. A win against flash and a 70% win rate is never bad, but good PvP? he's 4-7 PvP lifetime with only 4 games played in the past 3 months and 2 of those wins were against Much and Jaehoon who as we all know are AMAAZZIINGGGG at PvP. Midas only won 2 games in may; against hogil and MVP. Yeah he lost to stork, but according to the powerranking, Stork is a nobody. And I don't think that Effort should be placed above JD. Now I love effort to death, but I just don't think he's as good as JD in the late game. The 3 wins that he got against Flash were all using clever almost gimicky builds with great mindgames in the early/midgame. JD is just the all arround better player in all matchups. I would of liked to see kwanro or calm or maybe even free in the powerrankings, because they had a decent may and they are by far better than like half of the people who got in today. Kwanro is playing good in the proleague, and I'd say he's playing better than shine, who got in. Sure free lost 3-0 to flash, but it wasn't so much free playing bad but more Flash curbstomping all protosses if anything. | ||

I think zergs should abuse either 2 hat mutas / lurkers or some pool first opening and be more aggresive . His hidra bust was a good try , but he over comited and from the looks of it either didn't practise a follow-up and just all -in or was frustrated because he was down 0 - 2 and all -ined. I don't mind him being as greedy as Flash at least 1 game . Effort's preparation impressed me much more . He would have won the first game if they didn't replay it regardless of the valkyrie's death . Because Effort was going for a 4 hatch hidra break after he build 5 mutas and 2- 4 scourge . Flash invested alot of gas in to valkery and goliaths , and probably wouldn't have enough for tanks in time to stop the hidra bust . His greedy build to match Flash on Odd-eye was good . He took the high ground expansion at 9 o'clock first meaning that if Flash scouted his natural and saw no hatchery he could potentially not scout Effort because odd-eye is a fairly big map and 12 hat at natural is more likely and pros normally move their SCV to the next spot after scouting the nat . And he played brilliantly in his other games punishing Flash for every little mistake he made . I'm pretty sure Jaedong had the hydra break easily, but he focused the bunker instead of the wall. He didn't have to stand in range of the bunker at all... | ||

But where the hell is Kwanro? He was the only stars player that was remotely alive last month, and he's still 5th in ELO. Not at all sold on fantasy, either. | ||

Jaedong himself admitted that he'd have lost that game on Great Barrier Reef anyway? He beat JD fair and square in that series. Have you actually watched those games? I bet you haven't, and I also bet you haven't watched a single one of Baby's games in May. | ||

Kal stood no chance at all versus his brute mechanics and multi-task. | ||

Look at each one of their months excluding the OSL/MSL final. Jaedong 13-1, his only loss to Calm in a Bo5. Effort 6-0 After the finals we have Jaedong 13-4 and Effort 9-2, I know this doesn't just look at stats but both had crazy match list against S class players. Jaedong has been ripping assholes open for the last 2 months, while he is being overshadowed by Flash at the moment his ELO was still well over the 2300 mark, and even after the final it still was. The only way I think ANY person would take EffOrt over JD is looking at the OSL finals, in which all games pretty much sucked. | ||

But until then, he's only lost three other PvZ's, one with soO going just about Sauron mode. | ||

Everyone's Flash this, Jaedong that, and Effort there, but behind those four is the second best terran. Heck, I give Baby a decent chance of beating both Zergs in a bo3. bo5 is a different story. | ||

He was definitely going to be on the Power Rank after he beat Flash, it was just a question of where. Maybe he is a bit high, but after Kal failed last night Snow was pushed up. | ||

Shine just slumped after his post OSL slump where he tore everyone up undtil the semifinals where he met Movie (Argueably the best PvZ right now). People seem to forget that Shine was at 4th once and deserved it (by that time). Dont get me wrong, Iove Shine as much as I love Calm. And people suprised at Shuttle, Snow and Shine (and Stats for CBNC) have no idea whats going on in BW nowadays. | ||
