Close, but no Cigar
And according to Jonvvv this month also known as Lower Rank "The Other PR"
This is going to be quite a long list this month, and some of the players named wouldn't conventionally make it, but we'll have them on here anyway. Let's get started.
 BaBy
5-2 in PL is pretty nice, though BaBy didn't qualify for MSL and is now out of the OSL after a tough series against Kal. You're doing better than you were at the tail end of last season, but keep looking for those rainbow socks!
 BeSt
Man, if you didn't fail for the individual leagues you would be so high up right now. Though you are doing so well in Proleague. BeSt sets an 11-game PvT win against Flash (in the Ace match, no less) and kills Stork and free in PvP... and then scrubs out against Tyson and Orion in the OSL and MSL prelims, respectively. Oh well, more time for you to destroy PL, eh?
Brave
Other KHAN rookie keeping the team afloat. 6-1 in Proleague with some very nice wins, but also fails to qualify for either league. Who knows, maybe this is a blessing in disguise for KHAN. Given Brave's recent showing, perhaps he and TurN together can spur KHAN onward to greatness this season.
firebathero
I have to admit, I really like it when old players / ACE players do well, and FBH has done well so far since transferring to ACE, with a 3-1 record in Proleague with wins over BeSt, PerfectMan, and Light. Keep it up!
free
You're doing well, but you're uninspiring. You've had some good wins, but that loss to Light was just... just... terrible. No other word to describe it. Show us something more in the individual leagues please!
 ggaemo
Aftet transferring to ACE, ggaemo starts killing. He takes out Sea's lategame mech as part of his 3-game win streak, and that's already more wins than he got on OZ all last season. Though he's 3-4 now and didn't qualify for either league, I'd just like to give minesweeper zerg a little shoutout on the CBNC list.
Mind
This former starleague winner makes CBNC this month with a mixed grab bag. While he did beat Skyhigh (ending his 9-game TvT streak) he also straight up lost against the likes of Killer and soO for a 2-3 overall in PL. In OSL, he demolishes hero and then Action but at the same time fails to qualify for MST, losing to MIsO. Who the heck is that?
n.Die_soO
While the SKT Zerg monicker still haunts Hyuk and s2, soO has been doing well for himself. He's currently 5-1 in PL with his only loss coming at the hands of God Young Ho, and he manages to qualify for MST but not OSL. Hey, it's still way better than how he was doing last season, and he's been instrumental in helping SKT keep its perfect win record.
PerfectMan
A four game winstreak for PerfectMan from the start of the season... Who'd have thought? Didn't qualify for OSL but made MSL, so overall a [comparatively] great month for PerfectMan. Keep it up!
RorO
Setting a new ELO peak, RorO briefly overtakes ZerO as the second-highest Zerg on the ELO list, though he's only 4-3 in PL and didn't make OSL after getting 0-2ed by Tempest. Perhaps maybe one day RorO can break out of mediocrity and make it in the big leagues. Perhaps this MST around? One can hope.
Stats
4-3 in PL with some nice wins over GoRush, BaBy, Fantasy, and Sair but gets beaten like a drum by all-inner Shine, Tyrant Jaedong and rookie Brave. He's in both leagues though, so if he produces good results in the individual leagues then he'll get on the PR next time around.
TurN
KHAN rookie tears up the Proleague and keeps KHAN alive while Jangbi, Stork, and great are busy flailing and failing. 6-0 is so nice, and TurN has such a good style of play too. He's definitely going to be somebody, but he's kept off the PR since he didn't make either league. Show us some awesome games in PL to make up for it!

You should just make a new PR for CBNC and call it "Lower Rank" 
|
I have a rather strange feeling about Jaedong. His record is good and everything, but he seems weakened. I feel Bisu is much more stronger than him. But I guess we will see how that pans out in the SL games and the second round of PL.

Gonna take it as a sign with so many CNBCs that this season's so good that there are so many contenders for PR~ Here's to a great season of BW!
Totally caught this on the refresh with that massive Soulkey name making huge spaces in the PR tab, lol.
JFB at the top, all is right with the world. Keep up the good work and I look forward to the next PR! (I know everyone has waited almost 2 months for this, but fair enough it was off season ^^)
Also: typoed d out of "word" on free's CNBC, just a heads up, thanks again for the PR!

Yeah Soulkey is a bit uh intrusive ><
If we shortened his name to Neo.G_Bonjwa it would probably fit and also be more accurate.
Also thanks, fixed the typo.

Much better PR than your first one ! The ranking in itself is debatable of course, but it seems logical, and still more important, your descriptions feel much more lively, enthousiastic, and humourous than last time. Thank you very much, it was a great read !

Soulkey's rise is pretty amazing. Since his all kill in march he has a winrate of almost 66%, with more than half of his losses coming from very high level players.
Very good and agreeable PR overall, and nicely written too.
|
Flash, JD and Bisu back in the Top 3 positions, the way it should be. ^__^ Now Stork just has to step it up and everything is back to normal.
And ya, Soulkey is fucking amazing. I hope he can keep it up!

neo_G_bonjwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa whoooooaaaaaa

I'm disappointed you mentioned my Calm on the 10 spot but not in the Close but no Cigar section. I'd kinda get it, but foregoing him for ggaemo, fbh and n.Die.soo? Really?
|
It's disappointing that the top 2 player's teams are doing pretty bad this season.
|
I mean, who else can scare their opponent so much that he exits the game before it even starts?
Oh come on, poor Ruby lol
I'm putting a lot of expectation in FBH and TurN. One old player and one new face. Yeah FBH and Turn, show the PL folks the power of experience and youth !

Your SKT1 sign might have a lot to do with that feeling.
JD lost to what? Storks 3 gate proxy and a 3 hatch before pool build against Lights 2 Port wraith? The rest of his games were kinda one sided.
