EPTOf course, there is a small chance he'll turn into a zerg Stats, which would be sweet.

In fact, if it wasn't for JD having "JD status", he wouldn't be on the list at all with a score like that this month since so many other players have had a better month. I do think HiyA over JD is the right call now. Yeah thats why I said the highest I would put JD would be #6. By that I meant that even if I give JD the maximum amount of "points" I can for "JD Status" I still wouldn't put him in the top five on PR. For this month I agree that HiyA should be above him (#6 is where I'd put HiyA as well, my top 5 would be the same 5 people but in a slightly different order). HiyA's record is great, and he does have some legacy of being very good at certain points in the past (Honestly he may be the most inconsistant player right now; during the summer he was beating Flash and Effort in incredible games, and was playing really good in general, he was in the top 10 Elo at several points in 2010) which really helps make up for horrible he was doing earlier in the season. | ||

ZerO hiYa Really and their mad overlord, Fantasy The first 3 players have some of the most brilliant games on record and can absolutely smack hand with the S-class when they are on their games. When they are off, they will lose to FroZen in a pinch. Fantasy simply takes this up a notch, in that both his win and loss streaks tend to last longer than the others, who just win and lose totally at random by playing brilliantly and making horrific mistakes. | ||

Let's just say that being a Fantasy fans is a pretty wild ride. Every single game is a nailbiter since you never know what he's going to do next. | ||

His accomplishments last month are DWARFED by Hydra's. Hydras ZvZ looked invincible until the post-championship curse struck (it appears to be gone by now) You haven't been watching enough WL if you think HiyA doesn't deserve a spot. The PR is perfectly fine, yours is bad though | ||

I'm on the Power Rank TWICE! That made my day. (Actually, considering how many people read this and what it is, I'm a tad embarrassed. Me next to top Korean pros who I respect? Damn. I better not ever go to Korea because I think I would be totally starstruck. And if I actually met NaDa I'd probably die from the power of his presence.)

Can't you see I'm the tenth most powerful Starcraft player in the world?! lol jk (Although I actually kind of agree. I really got a kick out of seeing myself on there, but I think there are probably a lot of people thinking "Who the fuck is he?") | ||

Also, you should write a bit more about BByong or at least give a link, so people a year from now will understand if they ever come to read the PR. The cake is being baked right now, it just needs to wait until the individual leagues start to finish. And then it will be a sweet treat for haters and fans alike when Flash fades into obscurity and Bisu takes his place at #1 forever. | ||

On March 01 2011 15:33 blue001 wrote: Why does the writer say "lack of sample size"? I think it's more appropriate to say lack of games that showcase their skill (say they were all 6pools or all PvZ which is Bisu's best MU), because lack of sample size suggests that they played thousands of games in February, and since no one can watch them all, someone took a sample of some of their games to watch how well the player is doing. Correct me if I'm wrong but sample means you would watch a portion of a player's games to determine how well he's playing. If you watch all his games you know EXACTLY how well the player played that month. I like it when the writer talks about how well they played during their games such as saying Jaedong looked vulnerable against Snow even though he won rather than determining power rank through win:loss records against different players. This may be extreme but if a player had 0:10 but played brilliantly in terms of micro/macro and used different playstyles each game, that lasted over 40 minutes each where he barely loses each game, you could argue for this player to be on the power rank even without wins. You are wrong. Sample size just refers to the amount of data you have. It does not at all imply that you are taking a subset of known data elements, rather that this is the size of the amount of data you have to work with. Our "sample" is televised games. And tbh, I agree that a little more depth could have been given. For example, yes, JD looked vulnerable against Snow, but let's analyze that game a little from both perspectives: do you credit how close that game was to Snow's skill or JD's lack of skill? Having watched that game live, I was almost sure that Snow would win. His harassment was impeccable and if you were watching carefully, it's not because JD failed to deal with it but because Snow put so much concentration into his drops. Too much, actually, because the reason Snow lost is that he was unable to build up his army mass. Snow's drop control was excellent but his army control was a little less stellar and JD's army control was as close to perfect as you get. Hence how JD could wear Snow down even after losing ~50 drones to harassment. On the whole, I agree with the list. Hell, it matches my own list so well I can't help but think that flamewheel was reading my post in last month's thread and nodding his head. and the changes from his list to mine I can climb on board with. My only criticism is that there are a few places where it seemed like flamewheel was just rushing to release the ranking and a couple of sentences might have made the ranking a bit stronger... | ||
