So simply put, monthly PR != lifetime/all-time PR. It just means that Savior isn't performing up to his standard, is all. OT: Inter.Mind giving FBH the thumb down = priceless Edit: This was directed at Gerpu, by the way | ||

I can't believe people are arguing for Bisu to be lower than 2, that's just ridiculious. I see why you get upset when people criticize your Sea selections. Good rank hope to see Bisu back at number 1 next month, as well as Savior being higher. | ||

All those games he played... as soon as I was finaly able to somehow pick up my mouth from the floor- it dropped right back down again, I mean HOLY S**T amazing stuff, top notch quality, extreme fun to watch every single move, the kid is on fire, right now his game is the stuff of genius legends. He should freaking win dual title this season :-) I hope the pressure of two starleagues won't get to him! He always had what it takes, but right now he is perfect, just play your game Sea, you'll get yours! and it really is yours! ALL of it! Just take it!!! | ||

After trying to figure out how the monthly power rank really works this seems to be the most logical explanation. I got 100 different answers depending on what player we talked about the last power rank so I think it's safe to say that the "rising/falling" factor has a bigger impact on Steves decision than we all think. Sea is rising since he was average before and are doing good right now (even though Sea is on the list every single time for different reasons. Sometimes proleague records, sometimes even just potential to finally qualify for a league). Savior was god, but it isn't god anymore. And since the "you are biased towards Sea" argument gets countered with "haven't you seen the games?" the only reasonable explanation is that players are ranked very invididually and shouldn't be compared to who's above or below him. I mean the evidence is right there. Someone earlier wrote that Savior has qualified for both leagues 4 seasons in a row while Sea still struggled in qualifiers til now. You can twist around all you want, but there's just no question who's the better player. All discussions here eventually ends with opinions and taste. "I see his brilliance and you do not" which is why I gave up on understanding. Some defend this list to death, but in the end it's just a personal ranking from someone with favorite players like everybody else and with more than average knowledge about the starcraft leagues. | ||

It's fine as it is, and is an accurate reflection of who's where in the upper echelons of progaming. For those who say that Stork's PvZ sucks, sure when contrasted with 64.04% PvT and 68.12% PvP it seems horrendous having only a PvZ of 50%. In my opinion taking it from statistics is flawed because Stork, seeing as he's usually in the later stages of the leagues, always ends up facing the really good Zerg players. From the beginning of GomTVMSL3, his PvZ losses have been to sAviOr (ZvP rapist), GGPlay (+ Show Spoiler + a bit dodgy but he can be really fucking good at times, beating Bisu recently in that Grand Prix thing in a long game. Maybe Bisu didn't play his usual style, but he's still Bisu Yes, his PvZ needs work, but it's not shit, it's just not up to the caliber of the Zerg's he ends up meeting in the individual leagues (although the loss to GGPlay was in Proleague, where Stork is known to be really strong). My opinion. | ||

Stork's opportunity to prove himself a champion and not just a grinning nerd is slowly slipping through his fingers. He can't prove anything, because that's what he is  .Anyway, I like this month Power rank  and looking forward for the next month  . | ||

We'll see what happens. Yesterday's games (where Yarnc advanced from his group, and Light got 0-2'ed from his) would be very decisive in fighuring out the bottom spots. Now if they were played before this PR was made, then Yarnc would get 9'th or 10'th spot and Light would be out. | ||

if you saw 815 vs sea, despite it being on blue storm, the zvt happy map, sea couldn't do anything as 815 raped him with cracklings and no ultras despite having 4 secure gases | ||

That's entirely true  A lot of Power Rank decision-making is based on a player's momentum and how strong they look compared to their competition during the month's games. December was a very quiet month for a lot of players so its hard to move certain guys around. I basically have to decide who has impressed me enough to move ahead of them and then move them down accordingly. Light stayed on the list because his December wasn't enough to guage any real fluctuations his current strength, and there weren't any other candidates that deserved the spot more. At the beginning of February the rank will obviously change according to who's playing well and who's losing their shit. | ||
