Obvious and obvious.

By the way, for your entertainment, check that month's wins, titles, and losses. And power rank position and the reasonings.

Oh reading these past PR's is absolutely hilarious, the PR about december having JD #3 behind Stork although to me it seemed like he should even be above Flash, because "his play hasn't looked that strong" Oh man, why was I even surprised about this PR? Maybe I'll just have to wait until the next PR writer, hopefully that person will have looked "objective" up in the dictionary.
EDIT: okay, october PR seems surprising, maybe I was wrong after all. Even so, this month's PR should either have Flash, JD, Effort, Fantasy or JD, Flash, Fantasy, Effort, can't have what it does now or it's not consistent about what period of time it's gauging.

I see one guy who was reaching two finals at the same time getting gold+silver and another guy who reached one final and got one gold. It was very obvious who was #1, especially when you consider what happened before and after that.

How the hell can a player that recently loses HALF HIS FRIGGIN GAMES be the strongest player at the moment? Get over it and put him #2. Other then that it is fun to se Bisu back ofcourse, even if he still has alot to prove. Who would you put your money on over Flash in a bo1, bo3, or bo5 right now? Maybe Jaedong (but honestly I'd still go Flash). So that's a possible reason. That said, I definitely think it's debatable. I was surprised to see Flash #1.
Would you bet your life on a 50% player in a BO1, BO3 or BO5?

"Let's not forget too hastily that Flash made consecutive double finals for the first time in history just last month"

Flash shouldn't be #1 in THIS month.

Somebody throws Shikyo a glass of water, the kid is all on fire 'cause he can't stand seeing Jaedong on No.2 and thus he must fill the thread with his thoughts of how ridiculous the decision was and how biased the person who made it was.

wow, first time that almost every single person disagrees with the PR.
hopefully it will be changed in a few hours when plexa realises he is completely wrong here.

+ Show Spoiler +After tonight I'm very happy that ForGG is not on the PR. Plexa must have had some star sense there.
God, that was so bad.

Might want to tag that as spoiler for those who have not yet seen the games.

Since when do we put spoiler tags in the PR-thread?

Mmm I think since this is the second day PR has been out, lots of people will be coming to flame Plexa and/or Flash and not want to be spoilered...

I don't think it needs to be spoilered here, but since it only took me a few seconds I did it now anyway 
Wouldn't want to spoil any mislead soul who only comes here to rage about the PR.

Just for comparison, I thought I'd look back at what happened when Jaedong knocked Bisu off the PR:
Bisu had a terrible month, going 3-6. However, he lost to HiyA (one of the world's best TvPers), a Bo5 to Stork (the world's other best Protoss at that point), and finished off by winning 3rd place in the OSL over UpMagic.
Jaedong went 11-2, with a single loss to Sea in Proleague and losing one game to Stork in an OSL finals victory.
So we had both requirements for exchanging #1 after a long run: a poor month by the previous player, and a dominating month by the challenger. Well, Jaedong was dominating, but apparently Flash going 7-7 and losing 5 ace matches isn't poor enough.
----
Let's try again: When Bisu finally knocked sAviOr off #1, sAviOr had gone 4-6 in the Shinhan Masters and Superfight leagues (aka totally meaningless games), while Bisu went 5-2 in the KeSPA Cup (as well as 4-0 through OSL Prelims and 2-0 in the Superfight, but like I said, meaningless games). And his losses were to Casy (I kid you not) and fOrGG. In other words, with basically no benchmark for how good sAviOr was, and Bisu showing terrible terrible PvT even if he was solid otherwise, the judgment was made that Bisu was #1.
Apparently 7-7 is close enough to "some" benchmark that Jaedong's 8-1 in regular leagues, 5-1 through OSL prelims, doesn't count as enough "domination" to knock Flash off for the month.
Now, if that was 7-7, and Flash had done his (more normal) lose-in-regular-set-dominate the ace match, we'd have no problems with Flash #1. He'd just have been making it harder for himself again, which we're used to. Flash losing ace matches is completely out of character even for sloppy Flash.
EDIT:
Thought I'd mention this while I'm at it. Flash made #1 last month - in my book - by making dual finals twice, and by beating Jaedong soundly, with a side of, "If he hadn't played like an ass he should have beaten EffOrt". But at the same time, his Proleague play was less than convincing, going 4-3, losing two ace matches (though to fantasy and Snow, not nearly the level of fail he demonstrated this month).
Now, how you interpret this will depend a little on your viewpoint (aka who you like). IMO the Proleague shakiness plus throwing away the match against EffOrt meant Flash #1 was already suspect, held up only by his domination of Jaedong. I was, in other words, already ready to ditch Flash as #1 if he showed signs of struggling - but then, I follow Proleague more than the individual leagues. (On the other hand, if he had won both finals, I would have been willing to leave him up here for the next three months even if he went 4-27 over that time and dropped a league, because winning two finals is just that ridiculous. Well, next two months, anyway.)
On the other hand, Plexa (and others) seem to have taken the point of view that the Proleague struggles last month were just due to "prioritizing", and that therefore the fact they've continued (when Flash has nothing else to do) is coincidental and shouldn't actually affect the rank at all.
You know, whatever.
