Know what you mean. Terran and zerg just lack fans on TL. Nobody supports players playing those races. It's disgusting how protoss dominates every PR since eternity. You know Stork and Bisu occupied the top 2 spots 2 years ago once? Protoss bias indeed... | ||

Nah, it's just referring to how the maps seem to be Z-favored. A bunch of mediocre-to-good Zergs don't just suddenly start all advancing in Starleagues and winning a lot in Proleague... | ||

Well he's been doing better than some of the other CBNC, he's 4-5 in PL this month and 1-0 against Hyuk with probably the hardest map out of the way. Action is 3-3 in proleague and only in the MSL Ro16. Mind is also in the OSL Ro8, but didn't even qualify for MSL and his 3-2 PL record in December had wins against rookies like Anyppi, hon_sin, and Brave. Roro went 2-4 in PL this month and didn't even qualify for OSL. If fantasy doesn't deserve CBNC I don't see how these three do. | ||

I'm pretty sure that's been discussed to death in previous Power Ranks. The crux of the matter is Fantasy is simply not playing well. He went straight from his 2310 peak into randomly losing. | ||

The crux of the matter is Fantasy is simply not playing well. He went straight from his 2310 peak into randomly losing. But he's been playing better than all three of those players, and I'd argue he's been playing better than Snow as well despite a worse record. What you're saying is that fantasy's been playing further from his potential than those players, which I agree with. But keeping fantasy off CBNC makes this seem like a "who's hot" list of players, rather than the players who are playing the best. Fantasy in a slump is better than Action, Mind, or Roro playing averagely. | ||
