Beat Bisu but lost to ZerO; those two games are an overall net minus in my book since it's Bisu's worst matchup but TvZ is Flash's best.

I don't see how beating anyone can be a minus...

Museoun you are once again trying to gloss over fantasy's series with calm. fantasy had a very mediocre month, with no real shining games (aside from maybe the series vs stork, which i think is more about stork failing 0-6 now).

Flash and Bisu to take #1 and 2. jd 3, for a relatively good month, even though he lost his force. fantasy at 4, for winning the osl (and pretty much nothing else), and stork at 5 for failing 0-3 twice.

I'm not glossing over the series with Calm: I think Calm played well (mostly), fantasy played better (in his worst MU historically), and fantasy won. It looks like I value that more than you do; that's a difference of opinion, but I'm not trying to "gloss over it".

I'd be okay with fantasy at 2, or even 3, because his WL results aren't stellar. I admit it. But I, personally, think the OSL win is huge. Bisu's up there, but he lost to Flash and Stork when he played them. Flash is up there, and if he'd pulled the undefeated record off for the month he'd be #1 - but there's that loss to ZerO.

My opinion could change in the next day. If fantasy loses terribly to Juni (or even something less drastic), or Flash all-kills MBC, or Bisu all-kills KHAN, then that might be enough to put them over the top again. But right now, I personally think that fantasy's 3-0 OSL win puts him on top of the PR. That has to do with how I value things; you don't have to agree (of course, or where's the fun? )

CNBC: Stork fan after a starleague final.

It's going to take a lot more to knock Flash from his #1 spot than a couple freak losses to random Terrans. Let's face it, Flash's games are still jaw dropping. The very fact he can out play the very best gamers in the world and (virtually) stage a comeback no matter how far behind he is is really an incredibly feat. Flash might be running low on gas, but he still looks as mean as ever.

First, I simply dislike it when the PR turns into a place where people can just jump from "Not on the PR" to "#1" within one month. Furthermore, there is nothing that makes me believe he is the best SC:BW player in the world. We saw him at what Fantasy is best in, in preparing a Bo5. And while all of this was very impressive, Storks play was uninspired and Fantasys road to the finals lacked a bit in quality competition (group was ok, Hyuk in Ro8 is just lol, and I don't consider Calm to be THAT good right now)
But an OSL winner should always be within the top#3.

from an old PR:

He lost just a few games last month and he's back ripping it apart again. He's obviously the best player in the world because the only challanger was stork. Bisu can't handle stork or flash and fantasy most certainly isn't the best player, as malinor said:

Fantasy will get his points in KeSPA but he's not the strongest player right now and we all know it.
top four should consist of flash jaedong fantasy and bisu though but lets make this powerrank abit realistic...

Bisu and Fantasy both look hotter than Flash though. Regardless of who we can, intellectually, say is the stronger player.

funny only SKT fans are saying this. I can proudly say Flash is the strongest player of all time and at present time too, try to say that about Bisu or Fantasy - i know, you just can't force your lips or fingers to do that, because it isn't true.
