And most people on here probably don't even watch that many VODs. It sounds nice at first but it would just be a waste of people's time and effort to make a list that's meaningless.

What about like the top 1-25 Liquidbetters casting their positions? Surely they should have some individualized insight and watched plenty of vods to get them that far.

You know, liquibet is mostly luck. If you are top 25, that does not necesarily mean that you are knowledgable of progamers, you could just be lucky.

If jaedong gets his ZvP up to pair (or just close) to his ZvT and ZvZ, he's gonna be the next bonjwa, and he's gonna be unstoppable. He's a freaking monster. I think his ZvT is more insane than Savior's was, and his ZvZ is just insane.

I agree it's mostly luck due to the fact that all progamers fairly equal in skill and there are a huge number of uncalculable variables. However by the end of the season it does demonstrate some solid knowledge of the progaming scene if you place in the top ranks. IE: ~60% liquibet. Whereas randomly guessing should (big SHOULD) give you about 50% of course.

So next PR, I am guessing Savior is out, and if Bisu slumps in the OSL hes out too?

hmmm I have to disagree with Bisu at no. 2

Yes, he has posted results lately by placing 3rd in the OSL and 2nd in the MSL. No other player made the semis of either of those, and only savior made the Ro8 of both. However, judging by play during this month alone, Bisu looked completely outclassed by Stork and very sloppy over Up (except for game 1, I feel that Up played that series very poorly), and it leads me to believe that Bisu can't beat anybody but zergs in his current form (excluding the "nobodies" that Anytime beats consistently). He has to be able to play more matchups than just PvZ, and unfortunately, he stacked his MSL group to hide any weakness he has in other matchups (and I hope he gets raped by Jaedong and July for it too)

Other than that I'd put Anytime instead of Xellos as #10, but I don't feel terribly strong about that.

Everything else looks good (especially Jaedong at #1)

Lol Upmagic played terrible? Upmagic displayed the best god damn TvP micro I've ever seen.

Losing in his ODT group hurt him. So did not playing in the proleague. If he starts rolling in the MSL, I'm guessing he'll make cbnc or make the rank.

The bottom of the list would be #10. I think you can make a case for Savior being #10 as the bottom few ranks are usually quite interchangeable in these rankings, though I would hardly consider top 10 "rubbish"

Uh oh, looks like XellOs's life on the PR was short-lived. That Gom TV 4 showing was horrific. =[.

yeah i know, flash is the next big thing,

he has no weak matchups, maybe the best tvt around, and i know hell beat jaedong in a bo3/bo5. if the next power rank doesn't have flash among the top 3, its because you guys think he is "cheese".
but when boxer does it, its suddenly an act form a genius.
the interesting thing about this quote is that youll only understand whats interesting when youre done reading it. ǝɯıʇ ɹn ƃuıʇsɐʍ n ǝɹɐ ʎɥʍ
