Close, but no Cigar
 BaBy
I think BaBy has found at least one of his magic socks. Excluding preliminaries, he is 14-7 since the start of the season, and he's starting to look stronger. Currently on a 4-game win streak topped off with an intense TvT against Light, BaBy looks like he's ready to be an asset, not a detriment, to FOX again. However, being out of both leagues hurts, and BaBy will have to show some serious prowess (like his 9 game win streak in PL last season) to get back on the PR.
Leta
Leta's got a record of 15-7 this season, which looks very nice on paper. However, there's a few reasons why he's not on the PR: first and foremost, he's out of OSL. Yeah, I know, power of the afro and whatnot, but still I expected more from Shin Sang Moon. Secondly, if you look at his record, Leta's most impressive wins have come against... TurN and Stats. In other words, Leta has either lost to or not played other notable players, so we can't really see his skill in this case.
Also, my god, every time I see you play I see a girl. What have you done to me?
 Modesty
Interestingly enough, Modesty is on a 7-game winstreak and has (pretty much) qualified for the OSL Ro8 with his victories over Fantasy and Hydra. Also, after the game against Hydra he should be ELO peaking, but we'll see. He's close, but I don't see Modesty moving too high up the Power Ranking any time soon, since I honestly think this run is kind of a fluke. Honestly, what's with the random streaks this past month?
Neo.G_Soulkey
I am kind of disappointed with Neo.G_Bonjwa, since after getting destroyed by HiyA he hasn't been the same. True, one of his next opponents was Jaedong, and another Stork, but losing to Much? I'm kind of miffed on that one. Regardless, Soulkey is still one of the best, if not the best, rookies on the scene, and if it weren't for his failure against HiyA, Soulkey would still be PRing. Instead, he'll have to wait for another month. He's still in the MSL, and even though Stars has slipped a bit in PL, he's still waiting to lead them to victory.
ZerO
ZerO was looking very strong at the beginning of the season, especially in his weakest matchup of ZvZ. However, in the past month ZerO's racked up more losses than wins (and along with that, his ZvZ has gone back to being streaky: look at the OSL knockout by HoGiL), and he's shown that he's still not ready to handle Ace matches. The Prince of Queens needs to step up his game, particularly against more notable opponents, if he wants to make it back on the Power Rank.

Nice PR, pretty much agree. Baby TPLD-ize is wrong though (thank you random sc2 player).
I think the new PL format helps a lot the random streaks.
|
Wow that was a rather fast writeup including today's OSL results too.
Nice job on PR!
btw you have baby as z
|
Agreeable rank IMO, at least at the first glance.
|
I'm not going to to argue about the #7 because I might just blow up.

Nice PR.
I'm happy to see Stork up, he doesn't get even close as much love as Mr.7 (on TL at least).
|
Looks all right. Fantasy dropping to 5 was definitely a surprise, but justifiable because Shine and Kal (lol Shine[KaL]) have been playing so great this month that any slip-up costs you a lot of ranks.
Thanks for the PR!
|
Sigh, I really can't argue with this, but I wish I could 
Dammit shine...
|
Shine taking that record would be pretty damn surprising, but he has a shot!
|
i liked the huge CBNC better
I feel like Action deserves to be there for a last minute sprint tbh, hes been consistent last few weeks
But otherwise I agree completely, even though I'd put Leta and Baby in light and seas places.

Good job, I'm very satisfied with this PR. Pretty much all of 3-7 was quite difficult to decide this "month" but you did very well and found good reasoning for every spot imho. Keep up the good work!
You could have mentioned Flash's utter destruction of his TvP Nemesis BeSt though. I mean seriously, he schooled the guy like he did Infernal at the WCG.
|
Excellent writing thank you.
|
Great job. Would be nice to see Shine get a 20 win streak! Nice! XD
|
Shine on the way to riding a bunch of easy matchups and some really well timed cheeses against better players to a new record. Shame that even if he does he won't be able to get a lasting accomplishment like Gorush did in winning a title.
|
"anomalytic" should be "anomalous" but otherwise this is a fully agreeable power rank imo. i might not have jumped shine quite so much and i might have organized the 9-10-cbnc-cbnc terrans a little differently, but it's well-written and well-argued. hope this continues 
|
Shine bonjwa? What?
Toilet Zerg <3

Solid rankings overall, although hydra is just weird to have on there. Calm deserves a little love, imo. He is 8-4 since november, and he looked good, even in his losses against some of the best vZ players in the game. At least a CBNC.
And modesty hasn't qualified yet. If free > fantasy, free > modesty, hydra > fantasy, and modesty losses the tie breaker, then free and hydra advance.
|
Great power ranking!
Hydra's such a funny guy.
Nice to see Shine's spree.

Action has been wildly inconsistent, not to say streaky. By my count he's gone 4L streak, 3W streak since last rank; he's out of the OSL after losing to Mind, he's in the MSL by virtue of a group with BByong and Tyson.
Of course, I don't like Action. But other than the win over Bisu', he's done exactly nothing worthy even of CNBC.
Also fwiw, I don't know what happened to him but Ruby's been way more of a vP player this season, and has been awful against Zerg, so I don't think you can give Hydra that much credit for beating him.
Shine #4, however, is amazing.
