If Stork didn't advance in any starleague he would look unbeatable too, and I'm almost 100% sure he would have had a better PL record too by now.

That is not even close to Hydra's streak. And also, unlike when Hyuk won a lot, when watching Hydra at the moment I don't feel that there is much luck or buildorder gambling involved. During that streak Hyuk beat a lot of Protosses with Hydra busts and a lot of Terrans (if that was this time) with 2-Hatch-Muta-Ling breaks or similar strategies.
Not that there is anything wrong with that, Hydra does it too. But Hydra also plays Standard games and just wins them because of his sense for strategy, Micro and Macro.

So I don't think that Hydra's streak is a fluke. I think he is just a damn good player.

I think you would have to put Flash as either 1st or 4th. It really depends on if you discount him not being in any of the single player leagues. If you discount what he is doing since he has "less to worry about" so to speak, then I think the rank should go the following: JD/Fantasy, Stork, Flash, Bisu. However, if you think that is in the past and you see him as unstoppable (which he does look right now, tbh) then the rank should be the following: Flash, JD/Fantasy, Stork, Bisu.

If Stork would have won just 1 of those 2 series or they been close, I think he would be a shoe in for top slot. However, he went out in rather bad fashion so he obviously falls. He is still ahead of Bisu since he is crushing him head to head.

As for JD, his numbers are still pretty good and he is still moving through the MSL. He may not have played perfect in that Snow series but he found a way to win and Snow looked like he was the love child of Bisu and Stork. Oz has been playing better overall so we have seen less playtime from JD. He does have a couple WL losses but I'm not too concerned considering they were against Protoss and he just won a tough ZvP series. I really think JD should have been somewhere between #1 and #3.

Fantasy won the OSL. That is a huge achievement. Yes, he didn't have to face Flash or JD in a series, but he beat who they put in front of him and he did crush Stork. That alone could have put him in the #1 spot tbh. However, his WL performance has not been exceptional so I see the why people have concerns.

If you look at the power rank as "who is the most fearsome player atm" than I would put Flash on top. However, if you look at the achievements in that month, combination of WL/OSL/MSL, I really think Fantasy should have been given the nod. I do think Flash should be penalized for not being in either single player league (through January).

My personal list: Fantasy, JD, Stork, Flash, Bisu.

Coach declare Fantasy best TvP in the world now.
a few hours later...
Fantasy loses all his TvP so far.

Coach has not been so wrong. Lets check overall vs P stats:

Flash	114	45	159	71.70%
EffOrt	41	18	59	69.49%
Jaedong	116	53	169	68.64%

oov	67	44	111	60.36%

As you can see, it is really hard to master TvP. There are only 3 T with winrate above 60%. Fanta's TvP is really gosu.
Thx to Mumei for this stats.
