"Hwasin is a one-matchup wonder who keeps advancing sheerly because of advantageous maps"

Hwasin is 7-3 on his last 10 TvTs. 70% is a bit high for you to call him a "one-matchup wonder," no?

Unless of course somehow Hwasin has some hidden advantage in TvT due to "advantageous maps."

no !?

imho iris has to drop of the list

and Reach has to come

how NaDa bisu and savior are ordered depends on how they do in their osl games..

Stork has probably to be moved down in his placement

and light[alive] should just get out of the top 10 next PR ranking

Why? Light is doing fine.
Stork may move down a bit, but his only real loss so far is vs GGplay on a bad proxy game.
Reach doesn't need to be top 10. Get out of here, he's beaten Sea and Iris and 2v2's. -_-;; GJ, but Reach has A LOT to atone for and show.

Iris dropping off might be correct though... and Bisu should go down a bit. #1 is either Savior or Nada imo. but the month is so far from over, why already speculate 3 weeks ahead?

And I think Hwasin might deserve a lil more credit... his TVT and TvZ are strong.

bisu hasn't won a single proleague game, has he? I know he has at least four losses.

If he keeps this up, I doubt he'll maintain number one on proleague ranking.

NaDa has consistently won for his team in ProLeague: however, Pantech never puts him for ace - that explains their abysmal record. That's somewhat unfortunate; they lose 2-3 a lot.

sAviOr... he won vs oov, and is pretty decent in ProLeague. He still hasn't shown his old dominating form though.

rA lost two games in last KTF match T_T but he's still KTF's best player at the moment.

The majority of May still remains though. Too early to really call things out.

Reach and UpMagic should be on the list if they continue being so awesome.

Reach lost to Creationtoss, he shouldn't be on the list until he wins something other than PvT

pvp is the easiest MU to lose to lesser skilled player though.(arguably zvz as well)

Boxer -- You made an MSL after joining the Air Force. And although saying that sentence aloud gives me a boner, I need to see you beat more than three no-name Zerg players before I put you into the PR.

Does sAviOr count? how about Bisu? not exactly what we call no-names :-)
BoxeR is showing nice games... would be nice to see him in PR, but I agree that it can only be based on what he shows @ MSL, I hope he'll play the role of Death in that damn death group :-)

Reach shitted on Sea
and raped the living shit out of Iris.

So if you dont add Reach at LEAST remove iris from the list..

It's too early in the month to tell what the next ranking should be like. Especially since we didn't see a lot from osl and msl so far. But i agree with SJM conclusions so far.

I'm getting pretty sick of this terran domination. There is only 1 zerg on the PR and only 2 in the close but no cigar section! This is getting ridiculous. Either Starcraft is definitely imbalanced or Terran is definitely the easiest race to be a pro with.

What other explanations could there be? Obviously one of the reasons there are more terrans in the leagues and on the powerrank is because there are more terran players in general but this is pretty much the same question with the same answers. Why are there so many more pro terran players from the outset of the preliminaries of the individual leagues?

Protoss players are lately being better represented in powerrank and leagues but still nowhere as much as Terran. I guess the other explanation is map imbalance. But if the only real reason is map imbalance then maybe it's extremely hard to make a map that isn't terran favored in which case this is pretty much the same thing as saying the Terran race is imbalanced or at least is the easiest to get good with.
