2. Midas
3. Casy
4. rA
5. Much
6. Bisu
7. Yarnc

6.Hwasin >.<
Like Etter said, I don't like hwasin either.... I don't think he's good, but not bad either. He got owned by zergman in his strongest match up in my opinion and that's bad TT_TT. However, he managed qualify for BOTH MSL, and OSL in the first place which is why he is above the players in my list
7. Bisu
Even though he plays agressive, if he has a strong start, he'll never lose. You think he will give up the lead, but he manages to win in the end^^. I thought he would make it far this OSL too, but he did very poorly in Dual tournament TT_TT. Also his 2 losses in the Final and Grand final in Proleague was a big no no
8. Fake Yellow
I hate this guy too, but what can I say, he man-handled a manly terran. I don't know about his other performances, but he is starting to look good too. I really don't know a lot about this guy, but he IS in the OSL and beat a terran I thought was invincible so.... There you go^^.
9.Nada
What's the curse again? Wtf is a curse Nada? I know, you never experienced it ^^. Even though he struggled early in the OSL, come on~~ He dominated the wildcards, and now dominated all the terrans in the OSL. Now, many people say Casy is the favorite, but I think Nada is. Why? This OSL is full of terran, and even though they were crappy opponents his record in TvT effin owns. Nada is my bet. That is if Savior is eliminated ^^.
10. Hmmmm I have three choices FBH, Zergman, Julyzerg(fatzerg because I love him)
But winnnnnnnneeeeeeerrrrrrrrr goes toooooooooooooooooooo Zergman!!!!
Why? This OSL is full of shit. What i mean is Terran maps..... Zergman beating a great TvZ player in a TERRAN map is a big thing to do. Of course FBH looked really good agaisnt GGplay but it was from terran maps and it was 2-1. That is why it goes to Zergman even though I hate you.

My Close but No cigar ^^

Iris - I don't know why but you win so there craterface
FBH - We'll see, but the only thing that comes to my mind when i see you is when you cried at your loss from Buffaloface
July - WHY DID YOU LOSE to casy even though you owned proleague and got owned by Badfriend. I Love you, but after you lost, I can't put you in #10.
Up - I had to put you because even though your not in any leagues like Fatzerg, you were doing really well. I just don't know why you switched to BC's TT_TT.
GGplay - Again you're not in any leagues but you did really well agianst FBH, but it's not your fault, it's the mapmakes fault so until next season bai bai.

Now I think there still is a little bias in my list, and that is putting Bisu up so high ^^. So I think my list is pretty accurate in my eyes besides Bisu in there but I love him as much as I love fatzerg. so comment away. Oh, and tell my why bisu deserves to be lower or out of it, and don't just say oh he sucks, because my auto-reply like physcian is "screw you."

Edit: Oh and what do you think about this list Etter?

It's pretty good. Zergman was my "tough call" for #10. It came down to him and GGPlay, and I'd rather show the preference to the player who has shown some serious skills for the past, well, long time, rather than the player who managed, through two hyper-aggressive builds, to win a ZvT series on some tough maps. I know Zergman won 2-0--and that's commendable--but I don't feel like he "showed" very much. So I'm playing it safe with him.

As for your subsitution of Light and Bisu, I don't think it's warranted, but you can make a case for it, what with Bisu making the semifinals. Bisu has shown, especially lately, what I think is a trend among the younger players (Hwasin was the one who brought it to my attention): a great early and mid- game, but flakey late game management. The reason he wins is that he's usually able to build up such a strong foundation within the first 10-15 minutes that he can "hang on" for the finish. Bisu seems to get weaker as games go on, whereas many more "old school" gamers definitely get stronger.

But really, I wouldn't argue very hard with anyone whose bottom five consisted of some mixture of Hwasin, Yarnc, Light, Nada, GGPlay, Bisu, July, Zergman, Iris, Up, FirebatHero, and Pusan. You can make a case for any of them, and because all of them have either recently stumbled or just not shown very much lately (or not had the chance to), it's very easy to pick and choose based upon what you've thought of their play as of late.

Hmm i dno about up really... like nada said, hes not a new boxer; his strategies are simplistic not boxer-esq. That aside, he lost 2 series, one preventing his entry to MSL and another ending his OSL run.. I just feel like he simply a terran version of ever)p(TT

I don't know how 7-1 (87,5 %) is "a slump" and is enough for only 9th place.
As far as majority here thinks this is OK, I consider something is really wrong with me.

You aren't even actively following the pro leagues anymore, why do you think you know better?

Nada has just hasn't been playing convincingly last month. Silver wasn't in the first power rank even though he'd made it to the MSL finals, same reason there. You can win games and still not play too well.

I'm not sure why I'm even responding, according to you Nada would be #1 every power rank. :p
