No offense intended, but is Waxangel dedicated enough to Broodwar? We're 11 days overdue with his second Power Rank. Some of us still love the BW scene over SC2, and the Power Rank means alot to us. Amongst the tens of thousands browsing TL, it shouldn't be too difficult assigning a staff writer with the proper dedication to writing the monthly Power Rank.
Atleast give us a response or an ETA?
Your username is very appropriate. Your allegations of Wax not being dedicated to BW are ignorant and offensive.

I'm saying this as a Bisu/SKT1 fan, the key is to not make Bisu #1.

I was going to complain about this, and then I stopped, looked, and realized he lost to Kal.
Carry on!

i just want to see neo_G_bonjwa(soulkey) see in top10 also bisu for fantasy spot please ty.

No. Despite Bisu's loss to Kal I'm pretty sure he had a better record this month than Flash or Jaedong. He also has the best record in ProLeague right now.
Bisu definitely deserves #3 slot.
edit: Also, I fully agree with sixfour's list. I can't believe how many people have put Fantasy super low or taken him off the PR completely due to a sloppy month. He's still the second best Terran in Brood War and deserves no less than a 5 or 6 slot on an honest power rank. The only thing I'd contest is Stork's spot which should maybe be a bit higher.

1 - Flash
Fairly obvious. Looks to have lost little after the break since taking the OSL, only defeat in recent memory coming against Best in a game where Best simply played very well. KT's not so great start to the proleague season can in no way be attributed to him, more like nobody else (maybe Stats excepted) is really doing much to help him on a consistent basis. With Flash already having byes deep into each of the individual leagues, there's not a great deal else to comment on.
I'm just going to comment on this a little further. BeSt didn't just execute very well, he came in with a specific (probably map-specific) strategy, started with the best possible positions for success, and then executed flawlessly. Flash was essentially doomed by his opening.
Incidentally (remember the four-templar game?) this was another instance of BeSt getting a unit (in this case a +energy arb) out faster than Flash was expecting. In addition to BeSt's play, Flash did then hand over the win by sending his vultures too far out in front of his tanks, a move he wouldn't have made if he'd known a) the size of BeSt's attack or b) that it would have arbs with it.
And even if he had honest-to-god lost that game entirely on his own by blunders, it's his only loss and between Bisu's ignominious beatdown at Kal's hands and Jaedong's couple of losses, nobody else is looking strong enough to challenge him.

Just one thing -  SoulKey and  Neo.G_Soulkey are different players; I assume you meant to have the latter.

Bisu first? He's looked okay but he looked okay before the RO16 in last season's leagues too, you know what happened there.
Fact of the matter both Flash and JD are pre-qualified for both leagues and have been carrying their teams. Bisu's doing well but he's been bad for a long time, needs more vetting before he can take over first.

Right now I don't think Bisu deserves first, mostly because he's yet to show something so impressive that it trumps Flash's bonjwa-debate-worthy starleague wins. Maybe he deserves #2, Jaedong hasn't been looking too hot, but I think maybe next month if things continue as they are.
But things were not the same as last season. Bisu had quite a few notable flaws in his gameplay last season, which look to be pretty much worked out within the last few weeks, most notably decision making. His PvZ is as good as it ever was, PvT is really good, and PvP he just got a bit unlucky(he raped violet and Rock pretty handily, and he just got a little bad luck against Kal). Last season his PvT/PvP was a bit shaky.
I'm getting a bit tired of JD and Flash locked in #1/#2 except when JD loses a final. Bisu needs to start reclaiming his #1.
|
So long as he doesn't drop from individual leagues...an undefeated  Bisu in PL this round is all I need to sell me for the #1 spot.
|
It really depends on how you go about the Power Rank. I think that if you're going to say, "this is a list of the strongest players in Brood War right now," then Bisu deserves #3 or at least #4...however if you're going to do that then Fantasy deserves to be in the top 5 or 6 yet most people have counted him out completely because he had a bad month. If you want to do it on a, "who had the best accomplishments this month," basis then Bisu should hands down be #1.
However, I would put Bisu at #3 because I prefer the latter method. I think anyone who puts him at #1 would have to be considering PR in the former method I mentioned.
|
No one in their right mind would think that anyone is even close to taking away Flash's position as #1. XD

Two things.
#1 I can't believe you guys are even debating if someone other than Flash deserves #1 this month. Flash is the undisputed No. 1 until he royally screws up in both star leagues or goes on a 10 game losing streak or something like that.
#2 Flash isn't bonjwa-debate-worthy. Lee Young Ho has officially been declared Bonjwa in Korea. Period. Deal with it.

When was the last time Bisu won a BoX? Now compare that to Flash. One month of good play in Proleague is not nearly enough to even make it into a proper discussion (especially when Flash had a good month himself).

It was a joke with Bisu #1,
happy to put some life in You
PR reader-fellows :D
|
and Mooncat is right on Flash,
jd ranked first once
was huge blunder from PR writer 
And I can't honestly think of kal like better than 3rd protoss ever O.o
Even if he took boX's from bisu and stork in one month, lol.
