What? If anything Jaedong should be #1 seeing as how his past two months has been way better than Flash's.

I'm pretty sure shikyo tried to be kinda funny about the percieved anti-jaedong bias that plexa is known for among jaedong fans.

Plexa hates Jaedong and Oz more than anything

Yeah but if you say that such a guy shouldn't make PR you get banned for a week.

imo it stands like this after first round of playoffs:

1. Flash
2. Jaedong (for not carrying team to playoffs)
3. Bisu
4. fantasy (this really pains me as a fantasy fan but Bisu is better at the moment)
5. Effort (if only for the genius play against Hyuk)
6. Sea (he'll probably lose in both Ro16s, but he's in both)
7. Free (no playoffs or MSL but still playing very well)
8. Stats (looking better every month, but should fall due to bad play vs Hydra. Sea and free should pass him because both would demolish Hydra)
9. RorO (how is he winning all of a sudden)
10. Pure

Flash*
Jaedong*
Bisu
Effort
Best
Fantasy

*Subject to performance in league matches. Bisu slips ahead if they don't deliver.

most likely power rank: 1. flash 2. bisu 3. jaedong

I'm sure he'll find a way to make that seem reasonable

I said it weeks ago - Flash will be #1 this month for setting the record for longest streak as #1 on the Power Rank.

Hell no @ BeSt. A good performance vs CJ doesn't make up for the fact that he's not in either league.

Bisu will no doubt break top 5, if not top 3 come next PR. Between Jaedong and Flash, we're gonna have to see how their MSL group turns out. Jaedong has been absolutely dominating Kal over the last year though, so it may not be an accurate indication of improvement, even if Jaedong 3-0s Kal convincingly. If anything, a result less than a 3-1 may be an indication of declining skill. The same could be said for Flash.

Between Effort and Fantasy, it's hard to say who's better. Both are in both individual leagues. On the one hand, Effort's consistently good play is what allowed CJ to reach the Ace matches and take day 1 of the PO. On the other, he lost to Fantasy.

Fantasy lost 3 rounds in the POs, but two were to Skyhigh, a TvT master, and the other was by purposely playing a silly build. However, his smart play allowed him to take Effort and secure SKT's victory.

However, there is one thing that puts Effort higher: He beat Flash (again) with brilliant, non-allin play. It's very likely he could have done the same to Fantasy if he chose not to do the zergling all-in on HBR.

There will be more time to make decisions come tomorrow's Ro16.

Fantasy's TvZ isn't stable he could lose to Killer if his build fails . Effort is solid in all MUs .

1/2 (Z)

Jaedong/

Flash
3/4/5 (Z)

EffOrt/

Fantasy/

Bisu
6/7/8/9/10 hard to call

I kind of want to say (P)

Stats, since he played very well during MSL. But then again, he also failed against (Z)

Hydra in OSL.
I kind of want to say (P)

BeSt, since he won all of his matches during SPL playoffs against CJ. But then again, he is in neither league currently.
I kind of want to say (P)

Pure, for being so clutch against FOX. But then again, Pure isn't too impressive overall and isn't in MSL (seeding for OSL doesn't tell us much).
I kind of want to say (T)

Sea, since he's done well for himself in both individual leagues. But then again, going 1-2 in playoffs cost MBCGame HERO the match.

Ah well after MSL/next round of PL there should be something a bit more definitive :O

Also as an afterthought is it weird that I considered writing Jaedong/Flash as "Flaedong!" with the exclamation point?

And is it weirder that the next thought I had was a homoerotic fanfic?

Maybe I should sleep.

I dont understand arguments for flash being #1 next month over Jaedong. He hasn't played many games and has only gone 3-2 this month where two of his wins were against classic and turn... Ofcourse i understand that the reason he hasnt played many games is because hes seeded and pl team at top and i would aknowledge him being #1 if he was dominant last month but he just wasnt.

JD has gone 9-2 this month after dominating last month as well, go figure. Yes those two losses were for the playoffs and that needs to be taken into consideration i just dont think thats enough to drop him from his otherwise dominating form.

Bisu is aslo annihilating atm, if it were to go on stats alone, he would trump both, however i understand stats isnt the only thing to consider. id give him #2 or #3 unless something changes in the next few games.

The few games that Flash has been playing this month he didn't play like the best player in the world. Besides, he shouldn't have been anywhere near #1 this month. I think 80-90% of TL would agree on that. The hard thing is to place Bisu imo. He has been playing really really well this month... but how do you count Bisu's slump the last months into the PR this month? I wouldn't consider it that important, and would probably place him at #3. But Plexa tend to take alot more than just the most recent games into consideration.
