Very depressing for the sons of Aiur this month. Is it the maps recently, a lack of innovation on the part of Korean protosses, or just that everyone else has figured protoss out? At least we can cheer on Bisu. Yay Bisu... | ||

Soo and Soulkey have their tags because there is another Soo and another Soulkey, so that makes perfect sense. But why Killer (or Light for that matter?). | ||

where are you. How on earth could you not put leta on the PR? Jaedong and Bisu are kind of high considering how little (or weak) they've played. | ||

I still think Jaehoon needs to be in CBNC, he's been very consistent with his play for the past few months | ||

He lost a game when it matters, against an opponent that he should have won. This is only rectified in part (small one) by his victory against a much inferior opponent in a very underwhelming game the next day (Tempest). For the record, his team lost anw, and his loss the first day _could_ have turned the tide around if it was a win instead. And he lost to Flash in OSL as well (not just Stats in SPL Playoffs). Zero performed better this month (more games, stronger opponent, overall better performance). Bisu is undefeated this month (yes i know his opponents mostly suck, outside of Baby, whose vP is a suspect anw), and has been performing relatively better than Hydra all season (i am aware that he doesnt do well in Indiv league, OSL is entirely his fault and has been cursed for an eternity by people for it, MSL group was... just unfortunate). So i think that Hydra is not as "powerful" as them at the moment, and it seems Flamewheel agrees  PS: Stork's form being the way it is right now, that OSL group wasnt difficult. The only opponent that he wasnt s'posed to win, he lost to. No surprise there. | ||

Don't forget that he also lost to Flash, so it's not "that's it." Of course we don't often think of a loss to Flash the same way as we do other losses, but when we compare how thoroughly Hydra was dominated to the awesome play Zero demonstrated to overcome Flash it is abundantly clear who the better ZvTer is. And regarding the game vs Stats... have you watched the game? Because it was awful. Hydra is normally a consistently dominant ZvPer with strong midgame timings, but every now and again he drops the ball (see also his game against Kal from a couple months back). It's like his timing sense was just off: he was 30 seconds too slow. Both games. Mechanically Hydra is stronger than Zero and Hydra is a bit more well-rounded, but he doesn't stand out as a better player and he's not "hotter" either, as Zero totally made up for dropping from OGN prelims (on the previous ranking) with his playoffs performance. The argument about Hydra vs Bisu really comes down to the fact that Bisu had an On August 12 2011 12:01 Elroi wrote: Cool that Flash stays on top despite the wrist. He is so awesome. I feel the critique Jaedong is getting is exagerated: he only lost rock-paper-scissor zvzs (if he had played one game as bad as zeros game vs killer people would have said he should retire). I know Soo has a very good record but I think he sucks, so I would have liked to have him lower. Too many bad zergs on the rank and too few protoss. (Not Flamewheels fault though )Thanks for the ranking JD is actually getting a lot of benefit of the doubt right now. This ZvZ problem has been going on for a while, with only 4 wins in his last 12 games. You can always look at games and try to parse them and it's hard to identify anything wrong with what JD is doing, but at this point the sample size is large enough that we can clearly see this isn't the usual 75-80% Zerg killer that we're used to. As I remarked in the old thread, although Jaedong is very good at JvZ, it seems that he is absolutely awful at ZvZ. | ||
