Objectively speaking, Flash is still #1 IMO for going 2-0 in the PL finals and for carrying his team throughout the playoffs. While Jangbi failed going 0-3 in the PL playoffs.

But Jangbi should be a clear #2. I think he still lack that legit PvZ win to make me think he's truly on top. If Hydra and Soo had switched places, I'd lean more towards Jangbi #1. But beating the two best TvPer in the world, including the best player in the world, in BoXs is truly impressive

CBNC: whoever doesn't make #10 + Killer, maybe + Soo, maybe + Horang2

I'm not a killer fan, not even a zerg fan. But Killer deserves a top 10 spot. His OSL run is impressive, and almost winning the series against Soo despite one forfeit and 2 BO disadvantages shows plenty of skills. His PL season is nice, and Oz not in the playoffs is not his fault.

I would be severely disappointed if I don't see JangBi at #1. Power rank takes into account the quality of games and the player's "form" or "momentum" as well as the win/loss record for the month (to a lesser degree), and I can't pick out another that's shown greater mental strength and determination.

JangBi defeated:
- Flash in a Bo3: not much details needed. Who else has taken Flash down in a BoX in a while? Admittedly Flash didn't play his best in the series (particularly the latter two games), but JangBi played fantastic.
- Fantasy in a Bo5: Fantasy was on a roll, winning his SPL finals game as well as almost all his OSL games up until the finals. JangBi's comeback in set 5... cannot be expressed in words.
- Soo in a Bo5: Many people are underestimating Soo but this guy had a ZvP of 10-2 this season, and JangBi just broke him down methodically in the set.
- ... and a couple others on his way to fulfilling Legend of the Fall.

Also I think the fact that JangBi rose so quickly from the worst of his slumps to his well-earned champion title should be taken into account. That shows how tough this kid's mindset is.

I, as a Flash fan, concur

I lied. New one's up. I wish there was some notification, specifically in news (which was promised but isn't the case?)...
