It saddens me to see two Terrans at the top. But any ordering of the top five could've held, depending on your fanboyism or how you value different characteristics...

Flash Pros: Top WL record, won head-to-head matches with Bisu and Stork, dominating previous year
Flash Cons: Worst league eliminations of TBLS (dropped out to scrubs + Kal), plays the most successful race
Flash Mitigators: Eliminations were a while ago, and close together in time; maybe a 'fluke'.

Bisu Pros: Top WL record, triple back-to-back all-kills, plays the least successful race
Bisu Cons: Early league elimination, lost most head-to-head matches
Bisu Mitigators: Eliminated at the hands of strong players

Fantasy Pros: Won the fucking OSL 3-0 against the best PvT'er of all time
Fantasy Cons: Comparatively weak Winner's League record, fucking terrible Bo5 against Calm, plays the most successful race
Fantasy Mitigators: Had to prep for his Starleague, didn't get to play much WL except against players that defeated Bisu.

Stork Pros: Top WL record, OSL silver + MSL seed, plays the least successful race, most longevity of any relevant modern player
Stork Cons: Lost 0-3 in two back-to-back Bo5s
Stork Mitigators: Had to play two back-to-back Bo5s against extremely good ZvP/TvP players who could dedicate their time primarily to those series; can also be argued as a fluke due to close proximity of losses and successful WL play following those losses.

Jaedong Pros: Good WL record, favored to win MSL, dominating previous year (I still blame T>>Z maps for Flash's crowning as official Bonjwa over Jaedong)
Jaedong Cons: Terrible loss to Violet, looking 'shaky' in ZvP, lost head-to-head matches


I would've favored Stork-->Jaedong-->Bisu-->Fantasy-->Flash because that's approximately my order of player preference, but... yeah.


Speaking of fanboyism....



I agree with the PR, considering these top 6 have hardly played each other it's hard to place them.

I'm curious why people think bisu>hydra though...
:) I play zerg. FOX AND KT ROLSTER COASTER FAN! Because I love everyone. Except bisu.

Hm interesting. Even as SKT fan I would say Fanta should be about 4th. His OSL win is great, but he's hardly doing anything else besides that.
As for Flash as No.1, I guess I can't argue. He has been tearing up everything. Although I do think Bisu has been doing better than Stork lately (no not SKT bias) and they should probably be switched.
JD I have to agree, he's just not showing his magic as much anymore.

Then again, I guess your all 5 can make a claim for No.1 makes sense.

Hydra definetely deserves his spot. He's probably the best player outside the Top 5. Snow and Zero also looked really good too.
Known Aliases: Tyragon, Valeric ~MSL Forever, SKT is truly the Superior KT!

JD is being overlooked in WL because his teammates have been stepping up. Whereas T1 fails except Bisu..

Getting 0-1'd twice (Violet and Stork) doesn't help. He'll probably be at the top of next PR though if this MSL works out for him (and he can maintain good performance in WL).
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.

Ya, I expect JD to win MSL and claim #1 next month.

Man will I jump in joy if Jaedong can win this MSL (because he'll have tied Nada's record for huge tournament wins or w/e). I think he should definitely be #1 next month if he wins MSL but we shall see ^^. I don't think he should be ranked 5 but whatever was a hard PR to make ^^.
When I think of something else, something will go here

You guys expect JD to win MSL and get #1 next month? What if he suddenly play crappy again in Proleague and win MSL? He'd be another fantasy.

JD hasn't even been close to being as bad as Fantasy in WL. He's 7-2 in it and is sitting comfortably above 2300 ELO.

Play crappy?
His teammates have just been doing terribad whenever he plays before them and playing good whenever he is clearly waiting to play the role of the anchor.

Other than fantasy being a little higher than he should be, this is a very solid power rank. Its been a while since I've liked pretty much everyone in the top 10.
Sometimes its not intentional, sometimes you just botch it.

Like I said before.. the PR this month is decent since 1-5 is a chaos...

but the ONE thing that bugs me...
why is Fantasy #2? I believe he escaped the Kong Line while Stork should rightfully be #2

I never said he is bad right now. I said "what if?" It's just taking things into consideration before claiming like he's certainly number 1.

For once I almost entirely agree with the entire powerranking. Not a whole lot to say except for the fantasy slot is well deserved.

I would have placed Jaedong higher, and Fantasy lower, cause seriously, the only thing he has done well was his serie against Stork (great play against a psychologically weakened Stork unable to adapt).
His play against Clam should score negative points, I still can't forgive him for that.
I'd have gone with Jaedong/Flash Stork Bisu Fanta I guess.
Can't really blame you though^^

Ahh I wish Ver were here. I actually forgot to quote Ver, but Ver really wanted me to put Fantasy at rank 1 before the SKT-KHAN match.

(5:47:04 AM) Ver uh
(5:47:07 AM) Ver fantasy #1 obviously

Just throwin' the name out there^^

Ok, ok, I completely agree with Fanta placement then :p

Anyway now I have his actual quote.

Meh, Bisu really needs to step it up and win both leagues and send Flash into his (starcraft) grave this coming month.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.
