Exactly, which Flash has none.

Please, you call the guy who's among the most talkative when it comes to interviews, the guy who wears his leukemia-diagnosed teammate's jacket and RAK a whole team no personality? Do a favor, and give us a break.

Leukemia = being nice
RAK a whole team = showing off the skillz.
Flash doesn't have the charisma for me to go "Wow, he is an awesome guy!"

He doesn't need charisma for you to go wow he's an awesome guy
He saved Kal's life, without him there would be one less dragon in the BW scene. And how did Kal repay him? Beat him by abusing carriers on Aztec. But flash so manner he takes it in his stride
He carried KT on his back and was the only player capable of winning for quite awhile, without complaints
He wins starleagues and bullies his rival, one of the best to ever grace the game, just for kicks
How is Flash not awesome?

whatever, to each his own opinion. I for one still see Bisu as a huge crybaby and Stork as someone who doesn't care about the game. But I like Stork.
First impressions die hard.

So, does Kal need to lose every game to Flash because Flash saved his life?

No, it doesn't. But it does tell you a lot about Flash when the guy he just saved goes
"Oh Flash, I am so grateful for you saving my life, I am eternally indebted to you. To show my appreciation I will abuse aztec map imba and cause to you get eliminated from the OSL, you're welcome"
and Flash is just like
"My loss and elimination is entirely my own fault, I should have worked harder and I will not show such weakness in the future"

What has that got to do with a charismatic personality? That's just the same shit most progamers say when they lose.

I hate Flash. Not because of his personality. Not because of his style. It's because he always beats the players I like. Midas

If there continues to be no upset till the end of the month then I guess we can have:
1. Flash (should be obvious, despite losses to Calm and Tyson he dispatched everybody else rather easily, including JD and Stork)
2. Jaedong (avenged his losses to the TaekBang, AK'd Khan and almost RAK'd SKT as well - unfortunately, his supposed-to-be-strongest ZvZ proves to be his demise)
3. Stats (totally on fire, no further description needed)
4. Fantasy (decent record this month, had only 1 loss to a player that's not among the top or on fire - Movie)
5. Horang2 (he lost only ONCE in March, otherwise has 3-killed Khan and made it into the MSL Ro32, while continuing to showcase his godlike PvP)
6. Baby (actually had a respectable record, if only FOX wasn't as much of a punching bag in the WL format)
7. firebathero (qualified for the MST, posted decent results after his slump in ACE)
8. Stork
9. Bisu (both had lackluster performance overall)
10. M18M (more like a shoutout, since he ended ACE's losing streak in WL)

Holy shit, I was skeptical about Firebathero on your list but you are right, he's actually 7-3 this month with really good competition on top of it. I'm impressed.
I'm not sure Bisu and Stork should drop so much just because there'd be a massive backlash.
Stats #1 but I am biased as fuuuuuuuuu

Stats definitely number 1 there, I agree whole-heartedly.

Hydra drops, Bisu drops, Stork drops, JD climbs, Stats climbs, Flash remains.

If PL writers feared backlash that much the list would never change. If you can't show results, you drop on the list. For TBLS, they at least generally get a month or so of padding based on status, so unlike regular players that would drop completely, they get the benefit of the doubt.
Bisu's month is bad. Going 3-4, on a 4-game losing streak as well as a 4-game pvp losing streak. Stork is also bad (maybe slightly less for no streak). Yes they were each slapped around by JD, and Stork by Flash as well, but that doesn't account for everything. I'd say just keeping them in the lower ranks of the top 10 (7-10) is good enough to placate the mob, they don't deserve any higher. If they do well next time, they climb back up, they don't and they drop off the list until they do.
If you wanna go by stats alone, there are enough people passing them this month that they wouldn't even fit on top 10, including (but not limited to) - Flash, Stats, JD, Leta, Horang2, Baby, FBH, Fantasy, Zero. Hell, even Killer had a better month

Zero belongs on the PR more than M18M right now. There's a separate section in the PR for shout-outs where you can put M18M.

So, you should hate JD as well =)
Regarding Flash personality, lately his interview style is changed, quite cool stuff right now.
Personality lacking argument not valid any more.
