You are getting dropped for being stupid. I can't believe you lost to Calm in that fashion after dissecting him so perfectly the week before. You are a good player, and you gave up your opportunity to show it off. Please redeem yourself in the Proleague finals.
Kal -
Damn you're playing well at the moment. Too bad you keep running into the best players in the world. Kal isn't going to get enough credit for how good he is because he's going to be eliminated from the OSL as well as the MSL soon. That's kind stupid considering how talented he is. I guess thats the same with STX - amazing team on paper, but completely failing to deliver at the moment. Meh.
Roro -
You're playing well, but not well enough. You had a sick record in July, but you just need that extra little nudge to get into the top 10. But seeing as you were just eliminated from the MSL that might be difficult!!
Baby -
Doh. Rainbow socks.
Zero -
Playing well, but not enough games to really assess where he's at. Unfortunate, since I'm sure he's amazing atm

jaedong finally back at #1!!! 
|
Woot, stork back on the PR, ah good ole times.
|
Oh Jaedong, that game against Sea was so painful to watch...
Glad to see you on the throne again though.

 HiyA is becoming a running gag here. Can't even buy a CNBC.
And I guess the ranking looks fine to me, but I can't really agree with all of the reasons you've laid out for it being so. Jaedong over Flash is a gut call really, you don't need to excuse Jaedong's losses to make it seem any different.

Sorry Plex but even I as a Bisu fanboy have to say 6 is waaaaaaaay too high for him right now.
His PvT is no where near his old level, yes yes, he's still the PvZ god, but his usual godmode in PvP isn't there anymore either...
Other than that, quite a nice rank.

I'm kind of confused, Jaedong vs Kal was the worst ZvPs Jaedong's played all year.

I sort of agree. Those games were reaaaalllly messy and Jaedong was capable of much better. And JDs loss against Sea was really painful to watch. Anyway, Flash is playing worse so whatever :p

Erhh did plexa watch Polaris Rhapsody jaedong vs Kal?
Where Jaedong was totally unprepared for a standard-as-it-can-be speedlot into 9gate 2 base. I mean, I dont mind that he said the game on odd eye was good, cus it was.
1st or 2nd... Meh, was it just me but is Plexas ranking 1 month late? I mean, when I read flashs ranking I feel like i read last month. (except theeffort one)
It feels as though Flash was forgiven for continous ace match losses last season and now where he lost 1 tvt to light this month according to TLPD
+ Show Spoiler +http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/details.php?section=korean&type=players&id=424&part=games&vs=all&league=any&map=any&from_year=2010&from_month=7&from_day=1&to_year=2010&to_month=7&to_day=31&action=Update
Its weird, I mean, please define why Flash gets nailed for a loss vs Light when he lost to god how many last month? Jaedong at top is fine for me but the reasoning doesnt make sense at all.
Also, the game Jaedong played vs sea was the stupidiest thing ever. I mean, are you trying to make up for last month where the argueing mightve changed your mind?
I pretty much agree with everything except... uh... That reasoning, I just dont get it. You think Jaedong is better than Flash right now, fine, I can handle that.
BUT
Jaedong vs Kal on polaris rhapsody??? That looked like Kwanro at hivetech for crying out loud. The game on odd eye was good, but seriously ?
And then you make it look like it was Lights loss not Pures win.
I am seriously puzzled Plexa, care to explain?
edit; spoilered layout breaker

Fanta too hight, and that opinion is comming from his fan. JD at 1 is a bit controversial if last few games are taken into consideration. Stork lower than i expected. Overall, solid choises for PR.
|
Good rank overall.I like the arguements for Flash being second.Some players that performed good but haven`t been mentioned are Action,Hyia and Hydra.Especially for Hiya atleast a cbnc would have been more than deserved.

Oh my. Plexa <3
PERFECT Power Rank
Read the descriptions later for more feedback, but ranks 1-7 seems perfect. Bisu is tough to rate, but his potential is undeniable. 8-10 seems also okay.
|
I don't accept the idea that Effort would have won in that situation instead of Zero. In fact, I don't believe Effort would have made nearly as good of an attempt as Zero who I think might be the best macro zerg at this point. (It's his early game that lets him down.)
Flash was M&M against Effort on Fighting Spirit, and by the time he had made the techswitch to get tanks, he didn't have nearly the time to put together that kind of defense. Against Zero, he was mech the entire time, and was pretty much planning for that kind of game.
Entirely different games.
And for the record, that is the only game where Effort has defeated Flash in the sort-of late game, and Flash was behind nearly the entire time. Effort has Flash's number because he turned into Kwanro for three games unexpectedly in the finals, not because he can consistently beat Flash's macro.
|
Also yeah, Effort is completely lost against mech, I'm not sure why you said he would've done better.
Jaedong certainly would have, but Flash seemed so content in that game that it doesn't seem like zero was even close to winning -- just falling in the confines of Flash's gameplan. I don't think it's safe to say Flash would've lost to anyone for sure there.
|
Flash has been "solved"? I humbly beg those more knowledgeable in matters of BW than me to explain this solution to me. And please, don't hold back on the details!
|
FYI Effort lost to Flash playing that kind of mech almost exactly year ago. And he wasn't even close to breaking it.
Weird ranking. Bisu is way too high given that he is an underdog against virtually any Terran who has competent TvP.
|
Eh, I don't know how much we can criticize Bisu's PvT when he's the only Protoss victim of that damn 1 factory -> 3 base strat. I'd very much like to see how Stork or Snow can do against it.
|
whoo! Flash is finally not #1 after 9 months. Man...his streak lasted 1 month longer than bisu's =(
Glad to see that Jaedong is #1 again. He really deserves it after being in Flash's shadow for so long =P

The fact that Effort beat Flash that doesnt mean Jaedong will beat Flash (MSL finals prove that, even Jaedong though Flash will be easy prey after he got beaten by Effort)...Also 4 Protosses on the top 10 is too much considering how bad they are doing in the individuals leagues.
PS: Kal could have won the 1st game vs Jaedong...
