After best's 2 flash wins he at least has some against other good players mind, bogus, and really. And if we restrict it to just this month (as I think we should) than horang really is only playing the bottom of the barrel. | ||

The fallacy of the "let's restrict ourselves to just this month" argument is that you aren't restricting yourself to just this month: you are judging Horang2's opponents entirely by their past accomplishments. If we restrict ourselves to just this month then Horang2 is 4-0 against players who are 2-2, 0-1, 0-1 and 1-1 respectively. To give a comparison, Jaehoon is 4-0 against players who are 0-3, 0-1, 0-2, and 2-1. By this standard, there is no difference between beating Midas and beating Lazy (both of whom are 0-1 on the month). PR ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS HAS TO BE REPEATED AGAIN looks at results in the context of history and qualitative in-game performance. Otherwise there is NO POINT AT ALL to having this ranking. And here's Horang2's recent history: http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/details.php?section=korean&type=players&id=630&part=games&vs=all&league=standard&map=any&from_year=2011&from_month=3&from_day=8&to_year=2011&to_month=6&to_day=14&action=Update Which puts priority on Horang2 over Best or Jaehoon. | ||

Well, in the context of history, Best is most known for being an OSL finalist, and Horang2 is known for being the guy with a number in his name. In game performance: Best's macro is one of the most beautiful things ever seen in a starcraft game. Horang's style is nondescript enough for me to not have anything to write here. And If you are going to arbitrarily say that 3 months is recent, then I'm going to arbitrarily say 3 years is recent. Therefore best has a better record. | ||

Also yes, Best was good 3 years ago and Horang2 was good 3 months ago, clearly best is the superior player. | ||

Actually, I would put him as number one. He really deserves this spot in his career, at least once. It is quite sad that KT could not win him gold in the WL finals. | ||

Even if you win only 30% of your games the probability that you will go on a 10 game win streak over a career of 100 games is surprisingly high. It's 4% | ||

On the other hand, which players are showing consistency enough to be placed above him? | ||

 n.Die_soO probably deserves a spot. He made it out of the OSL qualifiers and he's got a Perfect PL record with victories against  Stats and Stork.Same with  BaBy and JangBi. | ||

How many YEARS ago was Best a finalist? In the context of history Best has just broken from the worst slump of his career and had been an inch away from retirement. In the context of history, Best has only shown us that his strongest match has returned to form. In the context of history, Horang2 has been a ferocious sniper who is now showing dominance in a second match. And If you are going to arbitrarily say that 3 months is recent, then I'm going to arbitrarily say 3 years is recent. Therefore best has a better record. Engage in fan wank elsewhere please. I like Best -- I argued for him on PR more than 3 years ago. But if you think the Best of today has proven himself to be the same as the Best of Ever 08 OSL then you are sadly delusional.

Horang2 is 4-0 so far this month, 9-1 in his last 10 games. Do you even pay attention to progaming at all? | ||
