There are not a lot of S-class terrans.

So why is 2008 the cutoff point? Are you sure you're not cherry picking to warp statistics to prove a point?

well 2008 marks the start of the modern era I believe (with savior's fall and Jaedong/Flash starting to dominate the scene and bringing many innovations to the game)


In the time between Savior's fall and Jaedong/Flash there was another player that did well for a while...

As you said, you were mistaken. However, Hydra has gotten increasingly closer in the last few months:

May - 248.2 Point Margin
June - 138.7 Point Margin
July - 72.7 Point Margin

I think this is the first time Jaedong has been in real danger of losing his spot since first taking it.


Yeah, he runs a pretty high risk of losing it to Hydra next month since he gets to play a bunch of playoff games, which gives you a lot of points. If both advances in the OSL but Hydra gets 3-4 wins in the playoffs, he'll probably get #1 Zerg in Kespa ranking.

The Top 5 is really close at the moment I think. Flash is Flash, Jaedong is literally unstoppble, Zero is being a real hero for Stars and is on a pretty crazy winning spree, Hydra pretty much destoys anyone who isn't Flash in a Starleague and Bisu is also doing great lately.

We should most definitely wait until after PL is over so we can make the most accurate possible rank of these beasts.

I like Light's trend statistically. 6-4 in May. 5-2 in June. 7-2 in July. He does need to add some more high profile wins to his record though.

Edit: huge fan of his TvZ too, although that match against Crazy-Hydra looked a bit scrappy to my eyes.

Why?

Jaedong has only 2 games left this month, both ZvZ. Bisu still has MST and PL GF, which will be counted towards the next ranking. No idea when MSL starts so I suppose JD could end up with more than 2 more games, but it's unlikely.

Bisu has plenty of opportunity to place higher than his rivals, or alternatively to fall behind them, according to how he plays.

the last MST games will be played on 2nd august (followed by group selection and stuff..), so there won't be any MSL games for JD before the next PR is published.

On the other hand, should JD win the remaining 2 games, he would be on a 12 game winning streak, which pretty much guarantees a top spot.

In the end, the contenders for the top are pretty clear (-> Flash, JD, Bisu, Zero) but it's too close to call anything yet.

Hydra is most definitely a part of those names; there are 5 players that currently stand out completely from the rest. Hydra will, along with Bisu, get his chance to show his worth in the PL play-offs.

Well, Hydra only played one game in July, and he lost that one, so I wouldn't mention him yet. We will see if he deserves a spot in the top 5 as soon as CJ enters the PL playoffs.

That one loss was against Flash, who played like Flash is supposed to, in OSL. I for one can't really fault him too much for that one. His amazing track record in the recent Starleagues as well as Proleauge makes him a super strong candidate for the top spots as long as he delivers like he's supposed to in the playoffs. As of right now he most definitely deserves a place amongst those names, despite that loss against Flash.

Not too sure about that game.

To me it looked like a total fail build -> failed 9 pool agression into fast 3 base, which delayed his tech so much that Hydra had 2-3 control groups of marine/medic in his third base, before he could start morphing lurkers. He also failed to do anything to keep Flash in his base with his Zerglings and Mutas.

While Flashs dropship play at the end was kinda cool, the game really was pretty much lost, when Hydras third went down.

In my eyes, Hydra has to take the blame for that game - wheter or not Flash "played like he is supposed to".

I agree, that he is a strong candidate for the top spots, If he delivers in proleague, but I wouldn't reserve a top spot for him, before he has won a single game in July

Maybe im just blinded by Flash's brilliant timings but I really felt Hydra just rolled over when I watched game. His build was very strange I think: 9 pool into 3 hat with slow tech and I didn't feel his muta micro was that good. Hydra is without a doubt a very talanted player, but he seems inconsistant, like last season when he could own in the OSL and still lose left and right in PL.
