Flash is clearly one of the top two players in the world right now. He's shown a little vulnerability in TvT... Except, he showed vulnerability in TvP losing to Snow and Free. And then he showed some vulnerability in TvZ in the way he lost to Effort and almost lost to S2 today. | ||

Anything higher would be assuming something more from bisu based on his history.I really don't see why Bisu is so behind in THIS month's Power Rank.. I mean he won Ace match for SKT.. He played like a beast in OSL & MSL qualifiers.. so what does he have to do more? He lost to Pusan & Stats .. ok.. but I mean really when Flash had a worse record, he can continue being #1 but pinpointing Bisu's.. really questionable.. I wouldn't see Bisu in Top 5, still.. but he deserved #6 or #7 IMO. | ||

Jaedong going 8-1, Flash going below 50% is still not a reason to put JD over Flash. Stylish, I really like your contribution toward Terrans but it's really time to put fanboyism aside I didn't mean they didn't hold any value. But in my oppinion they weren't valuable enough to drop the guy who just 3-0'd jaedong and made both finals. Flash didn't get dropped out of anything and his team is still #1. I can understand that some people wanted jaedong at #1 spot. I'd just like for others to understand why flash kept his spot this month. | ||

If I had to put my life savings on Flash winning a game or a series against one randomly chosen player picked out of a hat, or I had to put my life savings on Jaedong winning a game or series against one randomly chosen player picked out of a hat, I'd still probably throw that money on Flash, even with Jaedong's nice wins and Flash's losses. I don't discount the blip on Flash's record lately, but I'd be hard pressed to put him at 2 now without some more evidence next month, and to put him at 3 is just pure ignorance. Someone gets it.  | ||

Jaedong had pretty weak lineup that month, far weaker than Flash's this month. Hmm, I wouldn't say far weaker. I did some calcs with TLPD and if you do the weighted average of the vT against Flash this month compared to vZ against Jaedong that month, the difference is less than 2% winrate against their respective races. It's not really significant. Then, if you average the respective vT and vZ of their opponents who they lost to, JD's losses average a higher win percent vZ than Flash's did vT. | ||

But ForU played an amazing game, standing on his own against JD and you downplay it as a "free win" to Jaedong. Let's also take away all 7 other wins by Jaedong because he didn't deserve it as much as Flash. Uhh yeah, it's a 1on1... edit: he must have meant "holding his own." But really, it was a free win. | ||
