Don't know how hard it would be to introduce a new tab on 'Profile' page, so user can either pick SC1 or SC2 and the side-bars will arrange themselves accordingly? I don't have my own computer currently so can't really afford to install plug-ins. xD
At least it will solve awkward effort to introduce eliminated BW elements in Featured News or so.

Oh my gosh... that Jaedong-Federer comparison was so perfect and sad... I just wish so badly that it's wrong... I mean I was cheering so much for Federer too... Hope he still has some in him~

I think people are forgetting that jangbi did beat flash and fantasy in a bo3 and bo5, which nudges him into the #1 slot over flash and fantasy. Who cares who flash and fantasy beat, in a head to head match, jangbi was the one who beat the both of them.

And I knew Jangbi was championship material. Just didn't expect him to take about 3 years to get here after I called that. =(

You can't honestly believe JangBi is better than Flash. At the end of the day the Power Rank is just who is stronger on a given day in a given game. Who is better at brood war. Who, if they played, would win more. That is undoubtably Flash. He's simply better. JangBi was barely able to beat a terrible Fantasy. Flash is Flash.

This very day... I think Flash would have trouble playing with only one hand

I will admit flash is better than jangbi overall. Much stronger. In fact, the overall distant between them is so far that its pretty much immeasurable, but for the past month, I believe that jangbi has been slightly better starcraft than flash. Yes flash, soo, and fantasy made mistakes when they played against jangbi, but who hasn't made a mistake? If you discredit a player based on how terribly his opponents played, then you could discredit basically everyone. And yes I do know flash has been played injured, which is rather unfortunate, but shit like this happens in any sport. There has been many instances where a championship team or player fails to reach a championship due to injuries.

Right now, you just sound really bitter that jangbi won, so just take a break. Things don't always go the way you want it to be. I was really bitter that fantasy steamrolled stork, but that doesn't mean I should discredit fantasy because stork played like crap during the finals. Just take a chill pill and relax for a while.

I'm so glad that Jangbi won! He deserves the number one spot for this power rank, and I really hope he can keep it up. I really liked the Federer analogy with Jaedong; it fits really well. I hope he can get back into top form!

Hopefully JangBi will be able to repeat his run next OSL beating once again Flash and some other person he played in finals. I want to see rematch with Flash wrist being ok. And I still belive JangBi will win. He must win! I don't want to see him coming off this #1 spot !

I really like the write-up of the power rank, and I've read all power ranks in the past 4 years or more. although I am a Khan toss fan, and I was really impressed with JB's play, I don't consider that he should be placed above Flash. He swowed impressive playstyle, but he doesn't have the "Darth Vader Factor". If you whould have to play with your life on the line, whou would you choose to play? JB or Flash? I honestly hope that Jangbi will keep up his pimressive momentum. And also, welcome bac to nr 1 on the power rank.. it has been a while

I don't follow the BW scene much, just watch the semifinals or finals these days but it is still nice to read these writeups.

Did notice a typo though: "to now end" when describing Hydra.

Why do you hate Jaedong so much? I have lost all enthusiasm for power-ranks, i don't even cared when they disappeared from the sidebar.

I'm fine with jangbi at #1, but I do think flash deserves it more.

BTW, the main page article links to the double post that was locked, not this one.

Incredibly happy for Jangbi's spot. Sure if we're all honest there might be some liberties involved in specific placement but it feels right and it is awesome (and [poor english ignored] he did have an amazing title run).

Really really really surprised by how pessimistic you are about Jaedong. I remember the days of JvZ.
