Close but no Cigar Crazy-Hydra - Out of nowhere CH comes in gets an AK against MBC, culminating in a tense game against Sea. If Horang2 weren't randomly producing results, I'd say CH would be a good contender for #10, but not nearly as good, considering this is completely out of the blue.
RorO - Solid play, as expected from RorO. He's qualified for the MSL, and has done well enough in nearly AKing KT (why can't RorO ever finish against Flash?). Still, RorO is as always: solid, uninspiring, and nothing more.
free - Off the B-team, back on the bench. Free's definitely looking better, though his MST game against Canata almost put me to sleep. Still, I'd like to see a bit more out of him before he makes it back on the PR.
Shoutouts Rock - The last time Nal_Rock won a standard league game was in January of 09. This month, Rock took out Snow in an SWL match, breaking the losing streak. 'Grats to him!
Hmm, I completely disagree with your Stork placement, and I really feel like you copied Mortality nearly word for word on his placement. I just don't see Stork deserving a spot here, to be honest. He belongs in CBNC in my opinion.

No you can be sure FW didn't even consider Mortality's ranking when making this lol
honestly Stork played quite well and his list of opponents was solid

Oh sure, he played solid opponents; he just lost to them. Everyone he's beaten I could only describe as "average." Either way, he copied Mortality nearly word-for-word. That sure sounds like not considering him at all.
thanks for leaving FlaSh up there. after the word 5 minutes of my life with my jaw to the floor, i half expected you to put flash at 2 and fantasy at 1... i almost heard nothing from 7-10... maybe with the exeption to horang2. otherwise, my dinotoss still reeks with failness.
I would have put Flash #2. But then I'm a fan of volatility and 2000 post PR threads and with Flash not really playing that much it would be hard to justify.
RorO: did you realize his "solid but unremarkable" self has gotten into top ten ELO now? I'm a fan of mediocre players (Really, Jaehoon, RorO) but I've always thought his ZvT was good and it's his ZvP that holds him back. So yeah I guess CNBC is about right but part of me wants him higher.

Are you really going to throw a hissy fit for Bisu being 8 instead of 7 (and don't even try to argue that he deserved top 6).
And contrary to popular belief, it is possible for two people to independently make the same conclusions...

Roro has been floating around 10-15 for a while now. The problem is... take a look at his head-to-head results vs Flash, Jaedong, and Bisu. I posted this in the other thread. I'll give you a hint: if you combine his scores against them he's pretty close to 1-20 as in 1 win and 20 losses. The record just kind of says what most people think of him: he's a very consistent winner over B-rank and even A-rank opponents, but he struggles mightily against the S-class.
