I mean, if you look at Kal's games for the past month since the last power ranking, you would see that he only went a modest 5-3, with losses to Bisu, Brave (?!) and Sea. Doesn't make much sense to me, but whatever I guess. EDIT: And I disagree with TwoToneTerran. Since I've been here, I've found that PR writers tend to have an emphasis on the fact that it's the MONTHLY power rankings and not the start of the season's power rankings. There's no point in having a season's power ranking because it tends to be a lot more stagnant and unrepresentative of the SCBW scene at that moment in time. It doesn't take into consideration hot streaks and cold slumps that happen so often and quickly. The only times I've seen PR writers have an emphasis on past results are when it's a significant past result (like winning the OSL/MSL) or when there aren't enough games played. | ||

Turning this into a ranking of months rather than the monthly ranking that it has (usually) been would have the same result. | ||

The best player who was born on this planet is Robert James Fischer. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1044166 Second best player is Nakamura (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZo8O-p9qy4) And third is Godterran, Flash. Every fight between players in mindgames should be Bo21, or at least Bo7, sc2 GSL2 final proves it. We should watch only best of best games from them, or all if have spare time. I know KesPa won't read what i wrote in some stupid TL topic. But I think it is salvation for SC:BW if things continue with mass switching to sc2, and appearing of sc2 in this regard could be a healthy thing. Ok, I am sooooo drunk xD but IT IS what i think I just think it won't change anything if i wrote this  | ||

Though I have to admit I love the reference to Shine's bathroom "problem" and the shoutout to Daniel. =) | ||

It isn't supposed to be mindgames, it's supposed to be straight up game although once in a while someone will deprive us of that. And while I'd like Bo7 as much as anyone, there are practical concerns that make Bo7 kinda hard. Mostly that playing 5-7 games tends to take its toll on the players and the need of the timeslots for other things. | ||

Its either going to be Jaedong, or a completely new winner (and a higher chance of a new winner sense one of the 2 are out). This may be one of the only chances in awhile a new player can win but I'm hoping Jaedong does :D | ||

He's been steady in the low 2300's for a while now. These days it's really easy (for top players...) to put on points up to about 2250. After that it losses start to hurt a lot more. | ||

Watching a BO7 of BW will be long and tiring and not enjoyable. BO5 is fine. | ||

Indeed, I remember an occasion where a Bo5 (might've been a Bo7 even) in GSL (can't remember which one) was as long as ONE TvT game in BW that was going on at the same time. | ||
