EPTAlso, I kind of have finals next week. I might delay Power Rank until the 7th of May, when I'm free of purgatory.

However, if we're waiting until May 7, then the jury is out completely given that we will see 4+ games from Flash, Jaedong, and Bisu in that time so a lot can change... Actually, I think it may be for the better to wait since most of this month was off season. If rankings went up on May 1, there would be some players worth mentioning on PR/CBNC with only 2-3 games under the belt. | ||

Well, if Bisu is really better then more time will only help his case to be ranked over Flash. Anyway it's far from the first time the PR isn't released on time, don't be stupid. | ||

And yes. previous PR rankings can definitely change if you add the 1st week of the following month. With changes not favorable for those on top some of the time. | ||

If Flash loses to BeSt (who has awesome PvT in principle but has been slumping hard) but Bisu beats, say, Sea or Stork or something, doesn't that say something about where they are relatively? | ||

Would you stop acting like a jerk to forum veterans? Flamewheel has been doing an excellent job and wants to postpone a week so he can take final exams. Don't be so arrogant as to think that your own forum ego is worth more than his real life commitments. Least of all when you only have 150 posts under your belt and CLEARLY have not been reading these threads for very long given the nature of some of your comments. Just so you know, I reported you for violating TL commandment #6. I think you've been pushing the line throughout this thread, but this last post takes the cake. | ||

All I did was voice my opinion that I don't like how a PR might be moved to cover more than one month. I never said he should forsake his real life commitments to give it out on the 1st of next month. I understand how you value post counts to reflect authority here but trying to negate my arguments by calling me names instead of refuting me on my claims is imo a worse post than you accuse me of | ||

The first player it comes to my mind is s2 from SKT. Seeing his performance in WL finals (3 kills, from KT nonetheless), showing a somewhat good attempt performance against Flash and even before that such as sniping Jaedong, and other zerg players relatively with ease. As well as his even more recent performances of taking down players. I'm not saying he should be suitable in the top 10 but an honorable mention I think is good, maybe even rank 9 or 10. Afterall, he was crowned MVP for WL, his first real award. I'm surprised no one mentioned him with everyone taking mostly about the top 3. Secondly, I have to say Hyuk. Not for his performances in the games itself but the "behind-the-scenes" situations of powering various players in SKT, including the aces like Bisu. Even on recent interviews, you hear often SKT players mentioning how they couldn't do this or that if it wasn't for Hyuk. Seriously, how often don't you hear that nowadays? You gotta wonder what he really does to make the players mention him every single freaking time but nonetheless, it seems kinda like he's the second Oov or the zerg version of it. Plus he's in MSL ro16, beating Great in a very convincing fashion. He seems to do well always on individual leagues and this time, he has proven him surviving a group what little people thought Hyuk advancing. He pulled a good fight with Leta, made a convincing victory against a terran in loser's match and then outright took out Great. We have to wait and see how he fare against Calm, but if he does happen to beat Calm and move onto Ro8, I think that deserves a spot in the lower tier of PR, like rank 7-10. Or at least honorable mentions. Not being bias or showing my fanboyism here for SKT players but you gotta consider the facts I displayed and see if you agree with me with these two players. If you know the ace match is s2 vs JD, would you 100%, vote for JD? 50%? Hell, I wouldn't be surprised some people putting down s2 after his micro display in games. And if you know Hyuk is behind that player back, will you not think there's going to be some sort of special build or upgrade or increase of skill of the player? Just my 2 cents. | ||

as for lower ranks: everyone's seen soulkey's ridiculous queen builds, and should definitely get a mid or low spot depending on the rest of the month. leta and fantasy are scary but lose a bit too much. mind is perhaps returning to form. stork is just lolling around. sea is solid but was owned in group D as expected. calm continues to fly under the radar and make his like 5th consecutive MSL ro16 (probably wrong about this but w/e.) zero can beat anyone and lose to anyone. grape and is cool but untested. ggaemo and fbh are legitimate threats on ACE. movie, s2, and baby have been hot in PL but out of MSL. I guess we should just wait for the games! | ||
