That's the thing though, no one has said the superior player will lose the game, all that's been said is that whoever wins played better in that specific game.

If you're completely hard countered in BO but you almost manage to overcome it because the other player almost threw away a free win, is that not playing better yet losing?
Though in almost all games the winner did play better.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.

Most times if you play better in the actual game you win, but not always because of luck as I mentioned earlier. There is no reason denying that there is luck in BW.
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

Kal made many mistakes. There are games where one player displayed superior skill but still ended up losing. Leta vs Flash prime example. 1 blunder undid 20 minutes of superior play.

In non-Calm news, looks like Kal really wasn't a solid #3, and Modesty should maybe have HoGiL's spot.


If Stork beats Bisu next week, Stork should just take #1 and #2 and have Bisu/Kal share #3.

Unfortunately, it seems only one protoss have played like he's actually better than Flash or Jaedong right now. Oh, how I hate the MSL for making a Ro8 Bisu v Stork...

Funny how people can act like Kal played better than modesty in game 2. Newsflash: he didn't. Watch the game and tell me with a straight face he did.

Sad how people can ignore the brilliant game Modesty played and discredit it like that

Stats. The new standard bearer of the protoss.

How high on the next PR can Flash get if he keeps on playing like he did today in WL?

Flash still has a winning record against all the top 4 player, so for me Flash is still the most feared player. I mean come on, nobody believes that Bisu or Kal have a chance in a BO5 vs Flash. Stork and Jaedong have a chance to beat Flash in a BO5 but still Flash will be the favorite.

The problem is with Flash having been a disappointment, not with the PR. It is unreasonable to expect the PR to reward a player who flops in individual leagues, regardless of PL results. No matter what happens from here on out, Flash will not be the champion this season. Ranking him #1 last month would have been the stupidest fanboy-driven idea imaginable. Suck it up. Deal with it. Quit whining.

Winners League should count at least as much as an individual league though, assuming Flash wins it this year too.

Bo7 (Bo5 if Stats wins a game) against a whole team > Bo5 against a single opponent.

If you want sample size, check the Kespa ranking. There's a reason why the PR is made so that it gauges something different from existing "stat-based rankings". There's the PR, elo, and kespa rankings. All with different standards of measurements. Just freaking choose your own one that reflects best on your favorite player, and bask in his glory. This way Fantasy fans can talk about his awesomeness as the 3rd best player in the world.

Also, Not sure why you mention sample size. It only takes 10 wins to win the OSL if you're seed into Ro16, or 12 if you're seeded in the Ro36. These are tournament-style elimination matches.

So you believe Flash's 3-kill of SKT1 is more impressive than any of his Bo5s in the past OSL/MSL finals/semi-finals... interesting. Not sure how one would reach such a conclusion, but interesting nonetheless.

If not this 3-kill, then the all-kill last year that had Best in it as well, sure!

Except his series against Jaedong. Jaedong counts as a one-man team or more too. But at most one player has a chance to prove himself superior to Flash in this regard by winning a Bo5 against Jaedong this season.

I totally disagree. Mayve a win over SKT could come close to a Bo5 against a decent opponent, but come on, winning against Oz in WL is about as hard as beating JD in a Bo1. Maybe a little worse, but not much.

I can't agree with this power rank, A few random losses doesn't deserve to bring him down to 5th, 3rd at worst. No one would bet on Kal in a bo5 against flash. Hell, no one would bet on a bo5 against flash. He is still undoubtedly the best player on earth.

The thing is that he didnt show it and dropped out of both leagues.

Then you dont deserve top 4 imo, okay if he allkils 3-4 times maybe but thats not gonna happend.

If Flash All kills like 3 teams the same way Light did last WL, he'll probably get similar recognition. #3 behind the 2 frontrunners in the individuals leagues. That's ONLY if he does something similar to what he did to SKT on a regular basis.

progamers care for proleague more then individual leagues..

So if somene wins OSL but fails MSL and proleague , another one wins MSL, fails osl and proleague, and flash for example totally dominate proleague, and fails MSL and OSL, i dont see why flash wouldnt be first..

Because we all know the claim by by various Aclass and above players that proleague is more important to than individual league is not entirely true. Can you imagine the social backlash Flash or Jaedong would recieve if they said they didnt care very much for the team as long as they kept winning titles on their own?

I'm not going to accuse any players of lying but life is also a game and to be sucessful at 'life' in most cultures an expression of selflessness is desired rather than one of selfishness.
