I am encouraging we add a WTF category. Seriously, wax, consider one like this (you can name it whatever you like). It's for both no-names kicking ass and taking names and should-be stars epically failing. I can't think of any better two candidates for the first implementation. Fantasy could be there as well, but I can't help think he still holds power from his excellent performance last season in both pro league and individual leagues. You can't say the same about JangBi.
You can't forget about Fantasy and Lights recent and excellent individual league performance, but is it enough? Light beating Jaedong is almost enough to earn him a spot. Best is shakey at #7. His MST performance dictates he should be low, but he beat Flash.
light beat jaedong in a very good game despite his other stupidlosses stats has only lost to jaedong iirc while snow lost to pure
so i'd put stats/light 9/10
also soulkey is good... but is he good enough to be on PR? time will tell :O

I can see Bisu surpassing Jaedong for #2 if things continue as they are at this rate.
Maybe next month, but not this month imo. Im a huge Bisu fan, but he never played anyone as good as Light (Jaedong's only loss). Jaedong should keep number 2 this month until the starleagues start, I really think Bisu should be 3 though. He looks great and is showing a very high level of skill in his games and his record also justifies that.

Yeah, I meant next month of course, Jaedong still has his record to back him. But I've honestly felt that his games are getting a bit sloppy recently. There's no way anyone could surpass him this month, there's just not enough games, but next month is up for grabs.
Ok, Best fails. He's already out of both individual leagues from preliminary losses. He should be either 10th, or CBNC. With his focus now exclusively on SPL, he better win 2/3 of the time.

Much as I hate to admit it, yeah he deserves something like #10 for that. He did beat Flash and boast a decent record so far, but ugh, this is awful. What a shame, I was hoping for some Best this time around.
My list: 1. Flash - nothing really changed yet 2. Jaedong - little bit worse than before, hopefully he'll play better later though, still obvious #2. 3. Bisu - Best player of the current season, best record, fairly impressive games 4. free - Pretty good record so far, only lost to BeSt as of now. 5. Stork - I guess, who else could go here though? He hasn't been too impressive, I just don't know who else should go here. 6. Neo.G_Soulkey - for some pretty decent play, and because everyone below him isn't doing so well 7. Sea - Good results against mediocre opponents + BeSt 8. Fantasy - wtf? 9. BeSt - Good PL, awful SL... 10. ZerO - good results against mediocre opponents.
If there was an anti-power rank (impotence rank? though that has some other connotations ), then JangBi would be #1 ez. Best would probably get CNBC for this rank too, because he's been playing so well in PL but just failed in offlines.
I agree completely with TTT, stats should be on the PR justified by his really impressive wins over gorush, fantasy and baby as well as qualifying for both leagues.
As weird as it sounds, I think the likes of ggaemo(beating Calm AND Sea, along with a really close game in his only loss) and shine(beating Kal, Stats & Leta) should have a place on the rank, they've performed really, really well in october, while people like fantasy, baby have been... failing.
My list: Flash/Jaedong/Bisu/Soulkey/Sea/Stats/Best/Ggaemo/Shine/Snow
CNBC Samsung rookies, Perfectman, Zero, Free.
Not going to be a good season for Terrans. And welcome back, Protoss.
as a stars fan i'm not sure that soulkey quite deserves to be on the PR yet. definitely CBNC. tbh i'd have had zero in last month, and he's not done anything so far to say that he shouldn't be in.
not sure where i stand with best, he's been absolutely crushing everything in the last three months, then gets knocked out of both leagues in the prelims? what? will probably post a final what i think later today

Because I have yet to see anyone other than KT tags support him. Also, I really didn't find too many of his wins impressive. He's a good player with potential, but not good enough.
